Use static content of a plugin and non-standard context path

[Stefan Wolf]

Hi,

I have the following problem:

The groovy post-build plugin has a help page which is shown on its configure page: https://github.com/jenkinsci/groovy-postbuild-plugin/blob/master/src/main/webapp/projectconfig.html

This static html page references some other images which are in the webapp directory of the plugin via urls like /plugin/groovy-postbuild/images/warning.gif. This all works pretty fine as long as jenkins runs with context path /. As soon as jenkins runs with another context path, e.g. jenkins/, then the images are not found any more from the help page, since the correct path would be /jenkins/plugin/groovy-postbuild/images/warning.gif.

How can I solve this problem?

Best regards,

Stefan

I want to use it in the html page. Is this possible? Or do I have to convert it to jelly and put it to another location?

${resURL} more correctly to aid static content caching

Use relative paths

images/warning.gif

These did not seem to be documented, so:

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Basic+guide+to+Jelly+usage+in+Jenkins#BasicguidetoJellyusageinJenkins-PredefinedURLs

[Stefan Wolf]

I cannot use relative paths since the help file is included in the configuration page. Can somebody please give me a pointer what the correct jelly expression is? resURL or rootUrl? Where is this documented?

Hi all,

I tried as suggested. I don't know why, but it seems like the rootURL in my help.jelly file is not expanded. Any ideas? I pushed my changes to github: https://github.com/jenkinsci/groovy-postbuild-plugin/tree/rootUrl. If anybody could have a look at it and tell me why it does not get expanded correctly.

Thank you,

Stefan
