buildtriggerbadge-plugin

Jenkins' plugin to display an icon representing the trigger cause of a build.

See the wiki page for a more complete documentation.

What if I want to add, override, or disable a badge for some build cause?

• Adding a badge for a cause defined in a public plugin should be straightforward: file a feature request in JIRA on the buildtriggerbadge component: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS/component/16924

• Adding a cause coming from a private/custom plugin, or overriding some badge is possible since version 2.0 :

Extend a BuildTriggerBadgeProvider, and implement the provide method to match your needs.

@Extension
public class MyProvider extends BuildTriggerBadgeProvider {
	@Override
	public String provideIcon(Cause cause) {
		if (cause instanceof SCMTriggerCause) {
			return "http://example.com/someimage.png";
		}
		return null;
	}
}

• Disable a badge for a given cause Let's say you want to disable the badge for the typical periodic timer (TimerTriggerCause), then just extends the BuildTriggerBadgeDeactivator extension point and deploy your plugin.

Example :

@Extension
public class MyDeactivator extends BuildTriggerBadgeDeactivator {
	@Override
	public boolean vetoBadge(Cause cause) {
		if (cause instanceof TimerTriggerCause) {
			System.out.println("Disabling badge for timertriggercause, yay!!");
			return true;
		}
		return false;
	}
}
