Provide URLs of things in the JSON output

[chipaca]

Hi all,

it would be nice if the JSON output had (the option of providing) the URLs of the thing being described, such that if I request information about a thing I can get one URL I can use to go to the web view of that thing.

Right now for a pipeline run I need to assemble the URL from 15 pieces of flair "%s/ng/account/%s/module/ci/orgs/%s/projects/%s/pipelines/%s/executions" and its friends baseURL, accountID, orgID, projectID, and pipeline, and it feels very brittle to me.

Cheers!

@chipaca we currently show the url as text output via get command. We would add the url support in --format json also. But you should be able to get the URL from the below command.

harness get execution <pipeline>/<execution-id>

because this is for a tool to use, and the tool is listing executions, having to run 'get execution' for each one is not the right approach. I'll continue building it by hand until it's in the json. Thanks for the response though! Was worth a dig.
