Add support for showing warning if workspace startup script ran into an error

Open mafredri opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

As part of https://github.com/coder/coder/issues/7757, we want to ensure the user knows if their workspace may be in an incomplete state.

  • If startup script blocking behavior is enabled, we can query the coder API for agent lifecycle status and see if it is start_error, we can then show a warning popup
  • If startup script behavior is non-blocking, we have two scenarios:
    1. If agent lifecycle has already entered start_error or ready we know whether or not to show the error
    2. If agent lifecycle is still starting or start_timeout, we can:
      1. Keep polling the status until it is known
      2. Never show the message (no work necessary)

We should at least implement i) and optionally ii.a).
