Feature: Lack of messaging in Build history > Logs

Open uxarya-d opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Summary

Lack of messaging in Build history > Logs causes confusion for the user.

Motivation/Use case

  • User triggers build and navigates to the build history page to check logs.
  • It takes on an average ~3-5 mins for the logs to show up.
  • During this period; currently, we show a loader in the logs view.
  • Seeing a loader for a prolonged period (~3-5 mins) is confusing and the user might assume that the product (i.e. devtron) is broken/not functioning properly. The confusion gets magnified in the logs fullscreen view.

Proposal

Instead of just showing a loader, the product should be transparent and should convey the actual reason for the delay.

  1. To do this we can the worker status and worker message in the logs view until the logs show up. Proposed message format: Worker status: {{workerStatus}} Message: {{workerStatusMessage}}. Waiting for logs...

  2. This message should be cleared and replaced by logs once the logs are available.
