Motivation¶

As a user, while a job is running I might need to connect to the worker, for example when I use the debugging feature / developer view.
Currently when a job is stopped and waiting for the VNC connection, the webUI only displays the worker short name, giving to the user information like

connect to the running machine with: vncviewer worker13:6000 -Shared

this means the user have to look up or figure out worker13 domain, by looking at worker's admin page (if authorized), or check WORKER_HOSTNAME / vars.json settings.

If the intent of developer view is to provide the developer a quick and easy command line to copy-paste in the terminal and connect to the SUT, it would be more useful to have the worker FQDN in the message, such as

connect to the running machine with: vncviewer worker13.qa.opensuse.org:6000 -Shared
