I am triggering a python script through a Jenkins job, and would print a hyperlink in the Jenkins console output. Is there a Jenkins plugin or python module I can use to achieve this.
From a test script, I tried doing this - echo 'print "http://www.google.com>Google"' but on console output it simply displays that as raw text and not as a hyperlink (It does make the http url link clickable).
I am aware that this will work correctly in case of HTML file
You may try ANSI Color plugin it shall auto convert it to hyperlink. I tried with java it works, you may try with Python :)
Install the anything-goes-formatter

Enable the Markup formatter on global configuration (security section)
It took me a while to figure this out from Groovy code (jenkinsfile), but I knew there has to be a way as steps/plugins can do it.
In this case you need ModelHyperlinkNote (https://javadoc.jenkins-ci.org/hudson/console/ModelHyperlinkNote.html) and its static methods; so for a link to Job started you'd do:
final Run buildRun = Jenkins.instance.getItemByFullName(buildJobName
).getBuildByNumber(runId) as Run
final String link = ModelHyperlinkNote.encodeTo(buildRun)
and then you can simply write that value to log and Console Log will interpret it and add widget with all relevant operations.
In addition to type-specific methods, there is general-purpose encodeTo(String url, String text) that allows links to other kinds of entities.
