How to display a hyperlink in hudson/jenkins build output console
If you enter, for example:
echo 'http://example.com'
in a Build step Execute shell → Command the address will be hyperlinked in the Console Output, though not with target="_blank"
. But middle-clicking on it opens it in a new tab or window – depending on your browser preferences.
When using a (system) groovy script or Jenkins job pipeline (without sandbox) you may want to try e.g.:
import hudson.console.ModelHyperlinkNote
println hudson.console.ModelHyperlinkNote.encodeTo('http://example.com', 'example')
Please find the full API of hudson.console.ModelHyperlinkNote
