"Display SCM Sync Status" hides parts of the jenkins ui
If we enable "Display SCM Sync Status" the overlay covers parts of the jenkins ui; this can be seen:
- if you have a long executor list, scrolling to the bottom will make the sync stats overlay cover the bottom executors, making it impossible to see them.
- it covers the bottom of the console output, cutting off the last few lines.
We've tested this in 1.583 and 1.593.
Same here, it gets worse if there are errors, as the footer increases with height and covers more of the page.
Go into Configure system, and scroll down to the SCM Sync configuration section, then uncheck the "Display SCM Sync Status" checkbox.
This is also a problem when you aren't logged in so you aren't able to dismiss the errors. There should be a hard limit of 5-10 errors shown, for anything beyond that it should be suggested to enable the logger and/or have a dedicated SCM Status page somewhere.
Can confirm this issue is plaguing us as well. With SCM Sync Status enabled, and with a long list in the log, the user is prevented from logging and therefore cannot clear the log to fix the issue. The workaround I use is to use Chrome developer tools to hide the footer, log in, then clear the log. This realistically makes use of SCM Sync Status completely broken. Any ETA on a fix for this?
I believe the fix is in the code but they need to create a new release and push it to the Jenkins plugin repository. The build posted previously by another user worked in our environment, and we are looking to build an internal version ourselves just to make sure it's always available for our processes.
The problem gets worse on new versions of Jenkins. It looks like they are now html encoding the text that plugins add to the footer, as a results the hyperlink with a javascript onClick() is displayed in print but admins are unable to click the link, therefore you can not dismiss the GUI, which as stated above takes up progressively more and more space as errors stack up
Can we execute the javascript that normally executes in the "click here" in the jenkins script console or something?
@ryanback has the solution we were using as well before we simply disabled the plugin entirely. We've been moving to config as code and using SCM as a 'backup' rather than as a driver for the changes didn't really make sense to us.
In Chrome, I was able to right click and hit inspect element. I picked the elements which were huge and hiding them. Until I was able to hide the HTML of scm sync error message, disabled the sync status and applied. ugh! Lucky me!
If you're using an ad blocker in your browser, you can add this element to the "block list". Now you will never see it anymore, and if you want to see it, just disable adblocker for your jenkins again
To @aodeniyide, @MatthiasRoelandts and others... There is a quite simple workaround using Chrome and the Developer Tools... Go to the "Console" tab and enter "removeLog()" at the ">" prompt. This will purge the log for good!
The markup is corrupted, therefore you must enter removeLog() in the js console manually. Tested in Safari / macOS Mojave.
Is there any chance to fix in the near future? other than doing removeLog() in console
