Barak Korren commented on OVIRT-2672:
-------------------------------------
As you already wrote, if you go the the job directly you get a nice URL without the space
escapes. (%20):
https://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-system-tests_manual/
We can't change the view url - Jenkins simply uses the title of the view for the URL,
since the title contains spaces, you get %20 chars in the URL.
IMO most URLs in Jenkins are nice enough already. Also, you can customize your own home
screen to point directly to the jobs you need and hide all the other views, then you can
do what you want with the URLs.
Quite frankly we have bigger fish to fry, closing this ticket.
Nicer URLs in jenkins
---------------------
Key: OVIRT-2672
URL:
https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-2672
Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy
Issue Type: By-EMAIL
Reporter: Nir Soffer
Assignee: infra
Jenkinks OST URLs are too ugly.
When looking for OST manual job, we go to:
https://jenkins.ovirt.org/view/oVirt%20system%20tests/
This should be something like:
https://jenkins.ovirt.org/view/ost/
Or
https://jenkins.ovirt.org/view/ovirt-system-tests
Then we click on "ovirt-system-tests_manual" which links to:
https://jenkins.ovirt.org/view/oVirt%20system%20tests/job/ovirt-system-te...
Here we can easily make the url much nicer by modifying the URL to:
https://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-system-tests_manual/
Now we can start a build, and easily get a nice URL for the build
to paste on gerrit, like:
https://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-system-tests_manual/4025/
So this looks like an easy fix, make the links point to
https://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/<job name>
Why should we make URLs nicer?
Ugly URLs are a broken window:
