Matrix Job Build page: Icons for jobs not started yet

    • Icon: Improvement Improvement
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • Icon: Major Major
    • matrix-project-plugin
    • None

      When starting a new Run of a matrix job you can open the "Job page" (http://jenkins:8080/job/AMatrixJob/)
      On this page there is an icon for each sub-job of this MatrixJob.

      The icon for a given subjob is:
      -> Sucess/Failed if the sub-job has finished
      -> Blinking icon if the sub-job currently running
      ----> Sucess/Failed if the sub-job has not started yet (Previous sub-job status retrieved from last build)

      It would be helpful to have a grey icon for sub-jobs that have not been started yet in the current build.
      Instead of the previous sub-job status.

      Especially if you need to check sub-job results as you may think a sub-job has failed whereas it has not been started.

          I still feel like using the status of the last build instead of gray is appropriate in this context, as that is still the best approximation of the given configuration.

          Perhaps "status of the last build" + blink is the way to go, as it both conveys the last known status, as well as the fact that it's being built.

          Note that in the screen shot, if you were looking at build #772 top page, you would have seen the gray icon.
