dynamically update folder icon using its direct children state

XMLWordPrintable

      Hi,
      Currently the folder icon is static: always blue, not animated. Could you please consider setting it dynamically according to its direct children:

      • color based on worst child build status: red, yellow, "blue" (green with GreenBalls plugin), etc.
      • animated when 1+ child build is running.

      Thanks in advance.

          If you get Jenkins Enterprise by CloudBees, the Folders Plus plugin offers an Aggregate status of items in the folder option for the folder icon which does just this.

          Would you want it to be the "worst" child status or the most recent child status? I'd argue for most-recent, as if it was worst, then you could have some old job that never runs and you know is broken blocking the status from being useful forever.

          I think worst child status is what is needed. The goal is to know that a child job is broken without having to go into every folder to see the jobs list. Any update on when this will be merged?

          Isn't it covered by "Aggregate Ball Color Status Icon" option in the latest version of Folders plugin? Can you please describe the difference? 

          Looks like now it is animated and shows aggregated status.
