Extend addShortText() with ability to set a CSS style inaddition to (or even instead of) specific colors and thickness values

    • Jenkins LTS 2.452.1
      Badge 1.10+
      Groovy PostBuild plugin 228.vcdb_cf7265066

      Following up from JENKINS-73167 :

      Comparing hard-coded style values of Badge 1.9.1 to Badge 1.10 which introduced CSS styles (and unfortunately lost the style contents, as pursued in that referenced issue), I think it makes sense for both Badge and Groovy PostBuild plugins to extend the possible parameters of their addShortText() methods with a new option (keeping legacy code for colors/borders intact) to set a CSS style name instead-of/additionally-to those legacy values, with the Jenkins deployment free to define such style in the custom CSS file at $JENKINS_HOME/userContent/something.css linked in controller's configuration.

      So instead of hard-coding color and thickness numbers in my call, I'd tell addShortText to, for example, add a style="badge-error" to the list of styles for the entry (built-in ones being fallback for un-customized values). There would be less HTML mark-up generated, and the site design would be more future-proof (or theme-proof) thanks to CSS.

          Description Original: Following up from JENKINS-73167 :

          Comparing hard-coded {{style}} values of Badge 1.9.1 to Badge 1.10 which introduced CSS styles (and unfortunately lost the {{style}} contents, as pursued in that referenced issue), I think it makes sense for both Badge and Groovy PostBuild plugins to extend the possible parameters of their {{addShortText()}} methods with a *new option* (keeping legacy code for colors/borders intact) to set a CSS style name instead-of/additionally-to those legacy values, with the Jenkins deployment free to define such style in the custom CSS file at {{$JENKINS_HOME/userContent/something.css}} linked in controller's configuration.

          So instead of hard-coding color and thickness numbers in my call, I'd tell {{addShortText}} to, for example, add a style="badge-error" to the list of styles for the entry (built-in ones being fallback for un-customized values). But that would be a separate feature, not directly about addressing the regression in this ticket.
