Should output the content URL during deployment failure

[cgraham-rs]

When deploying to Connect the content URL should be output in all scenarios, including failure. This would allow the user to easily jump to Connect to review the relevant logs.

It could also output the URL to the content log of the failed job.

In the logs below you see an error An error occurred while building the content (build-failed-error) but no URL. The workaround is to manually find the GUID in the existing logging and then manually compose the relevant URL using the GUID.

Ah, I see — we added log URL printing when the item's environment was restored, but then it didn't start with #642 but the item you were running into wasn't getting to the check to see if the app was live yet because it failed before that.

I wonder if we could add something like f"\n\t For more information: {self.app_config(app_guid).get('logs_url')}" (or just to the item URL) to somewhere around

rsconnect-python/rsconnect/api.py

	log_callback("Error from Connect server: " + err)

to achieve what you're looking for? Do you want to give that a shot @cgraham-rs ?
