This plugin is intended to provide file:// hyperlinks in jenkins console output. Its purpose was to provide a way to view log files easily in the console output (and in any email reports).
Add file-url-annotator.hpi to jenkins/plugins and restart. File:// annotation will occur on all jobs without any configuration, there is currently no per job toggle.
The following ruby code
puts "Here's a basic example - file://example.txt"
puts "Here's an example using single quotes - 'file://example.example.com/C$/example.txt'"
puts "Here's an example with spaces and double quotes - \"file://example with spaces/C$/example.txt\""
puts "Here's an example with escaped html quotes - "file://example.example.com/C$/example.txt""generates
Using the following browser locallinks plugin/add-on
Chrome
Firefox
IE - built in
The file links can then be accessed via a single click. Without the plugins, the security models of Chrome and Firefox will cause nothing to happen when you click a file:// link.
