We have a problem with the URLs returned by the Jenkins search functionality.
Our Jenkins URL is, say, https://example.com/jenkins
Jenkins sits behind a reverse proxy (HAProxy). We've configured HAProxy as follows:
frontend buildserver
bind *:443 ssl crt /etc/ssl/certs/example.com.pem
http-request set-header X-Forwarded-Proto https
http-request set-header X-Forwarded-Host example.com
http-request set-header X-Forwarded-Port 443
acl PATH_JENKINS path_beg -i /jenkins
use_backend jenkins-http if PATH_JENKINS
backend jenkins-http
server jenkins 127.0.0.1:8080
and in /etc/default/jenkins we have:
JENKINS_ARGS="--webroot=/var/cache/$NAME/war --httpPort=$HTTP_PORT --prefix=/jenkins"
In the GUI configuration we have Jenkins URL set to:
https://example.com/jenkins/
Everything appears to work and I can navigate all links in Jenkins with the exception of any search results generated using the search box on the top panel. These search results link to the job/view/etc URL without the "/jenkins/" prefix and therefore don't work.
We have recently upgraded Jenkins and I'm told the search results previously worked.
Has anybody else seen this issue?
Ubuntu, Jenkins 2.289.2
UPDATE: I downgraded to our previous version 2.263.4 but the problem still persists. Inspecting the HTML shows the generated hrefs are relative and unusual, eg:
<a href="../../../../../../../../../../../../../../job/myjob">myjob</a>
I can get it working by editing like this:
<a href="../job/myjob">myjob</a>
I've also noticed the below search text help appear after a search. I don't see that on other instances of Jenkins I have access to. Is this enabled by configuration / plugin perhaps?
POSSIBLE SOLUTION: so the image above is the nested-view plugin. Issues have been reported with this, eg:
https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-65924
I rolled back the plugin from 1.20 to 1.17 and now have the more familiar search functionality back and working. phew.
