UI: Build History box looks bad with medium to long build labels

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      The build history box allocates about 50% of its width to the build label and about 50% to the build time. This often means that the build label wraps after the status icon.

      The simplest solution would be to define the style:
      #buildHistory .build-name {
      /* max-width: 120px; */
      white-space: nowrap;
      }

      Along with that it would be good to either make the build time use a smaller font size or use a format for the date that takes less space or use a different date format based on how long ago the build was.

            This problem first occurred in 1.580.1 and seems to be an outgrowth of this set of issues.

            Please, fix or escalate this issue. It is not minor! The Build History is a central launch point and in 1.580.1 its display is a mess. Attaching a screen shot.

            This screenshot demonstrates how difficult it is to find the build link with a hyman readable build name and description

            FYI this is currently being worked on e.g. here: https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/1466

            Note that it looks like you're using the build name to describe it... maybe use the description field for that instead?

            This look really nice in 1.593! Thank you for fixing this. Although it might have looked as I have been using descriptions for build names, this is is not the case. Our build names are indeed long since they have to reflect the workflow that a data set we are analyzing has gone through. I'm very pleased with you current implementation. I hope it gets rolled into an LTS release soon!
