Test-infra: The Ability to Override the ProwJob Status Url For Jenkins-Operator

[midnightconman]

What would you like to be added:
I would like to be able to override the default prowJob status url that the jenkins-operator users (testInfra) that points at "https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/issues". I would like to be able to make this point at the jenkins job url and build number.

Why is this needed:
This allows people to use the jenkins-operator and have a better experience in deck, where they can click on the job name and see the build results.

/area prow/jenkins-operator

That is only used when you fail to start a job, when there is no job to link to

Interesting, the build starts in Jenkins. I'll dig deeper and see what's going on. :smile:

It would be good to look at the logs from jenkins-operator

You need to make sure to expose all the parameters to the job so that Prow can set them -- if Prow can't set the build ID it can't find the job to link to a ProwJob after

Got this to work... you totally called the missing BUILD_ID parameter.

I would still like to be able to override this static endpoint, possibly to a different repo / org / etc. I opened this issue with a different idea in mind, but I still think this would be a good feature.

Thoughts?
