[FIXED] Open a view in Jenkins

Issue

In a pipeline script i am able to get a view in the public area of jenkins like this

println Jenkins.get().getView("TECHNICAL") // => hudson.model.AllView@787d286c[view/TECHNICAL/]

But I need one of the views in "My views", the path of that view in the browser is "http://servername:8080/user/myusername/my-views/view/Overview/"

The following doesn't work:

println Jenkins.get().getView("/user/myusername/my-views/view/Overview") // => null

How can I open a view in My views ?

Solution

User views are part of User object embedded in UserProperties. Please check the following script

script {
    def username = 'admin'
    def user = User.get(username, false, null)
    if (user != null) {
      for(def property: user.getAllProperties()) {
          if(property instanceof hudson.model.MyViewsProperty) {
              for(def view : property.getViews()){
                println(view.name)
              }
          }
      }
    }
}
