Surface context on the workspace start page when creating a new or opening an existing workspace

Open gtsiolis opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Problem to solve

Currently, when users create a new workspace or open an existing workspace, they go through the workspace start page (Checking, Creating, etc) without surfacing the original context.

Sometimes, opening a workspace can take up to 5 minutes and users can be lost as we're showing a generic page for any context or repository they open.

Proposal

There are several improvements we could make on the workspace start page (see relevant discussion (internal)), but a good MVC (minimal viable change) here could be to simply reuse the context element as we do with the rest of the workspace start phases (STOPPED, TIMED-OUT, etc.).

@gtsiolis I would like to work on this issue. Is this up for grab, or some discussion is required on this one?

@Hardik500 Yes, using the context element should be ok to add here. Let us know if you open a PR for resolving this.
