We would like a more meaningful description of a step

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    • frank, tethys, christmas, pannonian, iapetus, 1.0, Blue Ocean 1.0-rc3, Blue Ocean 1.0-rc4, Blue Ocean - 1.1-beta-1, Blue Ocean - 1.1-beta2, Blue Ocean 1.1-beta4, Blue Ocean 1.1, Blue Ocean 1.1

    Description

      Note: This has been implemented, but what is missing is some UI work to follow the design/limit wrapping on narrow screens (backend and pipeline components are completed, including api usage). 

       

      Scope

      • Pipeline API exposes step descriptions
      • Descriptions for steps reflected from the pipeline API
      • Update the UI of Blue Ocean to display the steps

      Design

      • Has Description
        • Description on left, black @ 100% opacity
          **Type to the right, with em dash, black @ 50% opacity (or grey color)
      • Has no Description
        • Type on left, black @ 100% opacity
      • Use Zeplin for extact metrics https://zpl.io/1MtiWN

      Mockup

      Notes
      We want to provide the developer a more meaningful description of the steps in Blue Ocean.

      For example, if we have a shell script being executed we'd like to provide the command as the description of that step. If we don't have that information, we'd like to fall back to a description of the step otherwise fall back to the step name.

            danagoyette, I haven't tested this in a while, but I believe your issue there is using variables like the build id, assuming you used the actual number of the current build. In my experience, Jenkins goes to lengths to identify and mask data like that.

            Thanks for the hint about the issue being variables. That seems to be it: if I use any variables (in the stock sh step's command or the labelledShell step's label), then the label is just silently ignored! Should I file a separate ticket for that brokenness?

            If you wanted something like that changed, that'd be a separate issue, yep

            I think that's running at a much lower level than the step labelling.

            Hi,

            Where can I find which BO version has this functionality?
