    • Multibranch Pipeline 2.14

      After upgrading the Multibranch Pipeline plugin from version 2.9.2 to 2.14 we noticed the following unexpected regression:

      It is no longer possible to create custom views for multi-branch pipeline jobs, and any custom views previously created are gone.

      The multi-branch jobs have now a single "Branches(N)" view without the possibility to modify this view or create a custom one. We had custom views defined for such projects with additional columns such as "Test Result" from the "Extra Columns Plug-In" and that worked very well.

       

          [JENKINS-42783] Custom views no longer available

          We also found this to be the case on upgrading to the latest plugins.

           

          We have a large number of repositories – The custom views was a nice way to be able to group them for users.  To us, this is a much missed feature.

          I think this possibility was deliberately removed but stephenconnolly could elaborate.

          I'm also interested in this.
          I'd like to have a `All` view that would group the branch and PR jobs. This has two pros for me:

          • avoid having a job 'jump' from one view to the next when the PR is created which is confusing
          • make it easier to find the job related to a specific dev with a single place to `ctrl-f` from my web browser

          I'm open to implementing something, even if it's not re-adding custom views but maybe adding a new baked-in All view. I can open a separate issue if need be in that case.

          stephenconnolly any input on this please? 🙏

          Stephen does not work on Jenkins any longer, and no one has touched this system in years.

          I am not aware of any reason why it would be a problem to support additional custom views other than the trickiness of reconciling that with the code that precreates the views you see today and maintains that set as the configuration of the repository folder evolves. Another subtlety is that organization folders make their repo folder children read-only so if you wanted to have custom views in repo folders beneath an org folder, there would need to be another configuration option on the org folder.

          Thanks Jesse.
          If I try to re-add custom views, would you be available to help me?
          It looks like I'll need a bit of guidance to get this right.

          I cannot promise anything but if I see a question in a PR I will try to help as time permits.
