Detail page of each job have a link that takes you to the detail of the host. We often provision machines with bug reproducers reserved for investigation and I usually need to copy the machine name, open new tab and paste it to access the Web user interface. A simple link (an icon or text) on the detail page would be big help.
The recipe widget (on the recipe page and job page) already has a link to the system page for that system. That is, if recipe 123 ran on $FQDN then: https://beaker.example.com/recipes/123 links to https://beaker.example.com/view/$FQDN Do you mean, you also want it to link to http://$FQDN/ under the assumption that there is some web app running there?
Dan, I mean exactly that. I apologize for confusion. I understand not all use cases are web apps, but the portion is perhaps increasing. If you can at least track this request with low-priority, that would be great. Thanks!
I actually implemented this as part of bug 1366191 for Beaker 24.0.
... although now that I look at it again, I see that we are still showing the "View http://$THESYSTEM" menu item even after the recipe is finished, which is not right. But I think we can file that as a separate bug to fix in 24.1.
Verified this issue in bug 1366191 and filed a new bug 1412878 according comment #4.
Thanks Sophia.
Beaker 24.0 has been released.
