What Operating System are you using (both controller, and any agents involved in the problem)?

• Amazon Linux 2023 aarch64 controlller with corretto 21
• Amazon Linux 2023 Linux agents (x86 and aarch64) with corretto21

Reproduction steps

1. Create a pipeline with a stage requesting basic input.
2. Run pipeline and from pipeline graph view visit and fill out form in user input.
3. Notice one does not return back to pipeline graph view for the running job.

Expected Results

Returns to pipeline graph view UI for user to continue monitoring the Jenkins job from this nicer UI.

Actual Results

One is taken to the classic console log which is not a graph view but instead just a large raw log of the running pipeline.

Anything else?

This bug paired with #1085 prevents me from deleting the blueocean plugin. Otherwise, this is a great UI!

Are you interested in contributing a fix?

I have a proprietary issue created for potentially submitting a fix. I will get around to it eventually but if someone else has a fix beforehand that would be great. Whichever comes first.

[samrocketman]

It would be even better if instead of the Input Requested link, one has an inline form to fill out directly from the pipeline graph view UI. Similar in concept to the Blue Ocean input dialog UI.

It would be even better if instead of the Input Requested link, one has an inline form to fill out directly from the pipeline graph view UI. Similar in concept to the Blue Ocean input dialog UI.

This is requested in #872.
Whilst implementing it would be fairly straight forward it would cause issues like: jenkinsci/blueocean-plugin#3744

Easiest fix would be to make the input plugin redirect to the configured console url provider.

[samrocketman]

Easiest fix would be to make the input plugin redirect to the configured console url provider.

I would be happy with either. The default input renderer is a bit clunky but it would be acceptable.

I wonder how the pipeline-stage-view plugin handles active choices plugin. That one has a pop up instead of inline UI or directing to input requested page.

[samrocketman]

The only other usability issue I anticipate with the Input Form is accessibility. For example, if one has a large/complex pipeline it may be easy to forget which form they're filling out for which blue bubble in the graph view.

This could be worked around by end user providing more information in the input dialog with enough writing context.

[timja]

Actually the other idea I discussed with @janfaracik was to be able to render the input form as a dialog, like build with parameters has done recently.

That should be do-able, albeit more effort but should solve the issues.

[sgleske-ias]

Here's what the popup dialog from pipeline stage view plugin looks like. (note I am also samrocketman; this is my proprietary GitHub account).
