Show duration when task (task step) is running
Feature request
Currently duration in UI is shown after the task (or task step) is complete.
For long running processes it would be nice to see current timing.
Thanks for the feature request @say5. This is something we used to have, but removed at some point due to inconsistent / unreliable timestamps coming from the PipelineRun / TaskRun resources while they were in progress. We can revisit to see if this has improved in more recent Tekton Pipelines releases.
As part of #2306 we're making the task run and step durations more prominent on the PipelineRun details page as well as displaying them while in progress.
This enhancement will be included as an opt-in preview in the next Dashboard release (v0.60). The new design will be rolled out to the TaskRun details page in a future release, and once stable will replace the current UI.
In v0.61 the TaskRun details page was updated with the new design previously applied to the PipelineRun details in v0.60.
The new design for both pages is now enabled by default but can be disabled using the toggle on the settings page. The toggle and old design will be removed in the next release.
