A little less verbose error reporting

Open praiskup opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Description

It would be nice to make the comment from Packit service smaller - the thing is that it never disappears, even if the original problem disappears. The issue/PR stays forever with a large comment like this: Screenshot_20240919_155828

I'm not proposing any solution, just a few examples:

  • make the text a one-liner -> pointing at a different page that user may observe
  • hide the text once the problem disappears
  • modify the comment if the problem disappears (that's how pep2speaks behaves)
  • do not issue the comment at all, just create the failed task list

Lemme admit that I know this example error is actually a Copr fault. WIP. But the particular PR have re-run Packit builds/tests and these are all finished and "green" already.

Benefit

No response

Hi! Thanks for creating this. The option of migrating most of the content, e.g., to our docs and just linking in comments sounds the most suitable to us. (The already existing comment modification/hiding could be prone to race conditions.)
