Jenkins 2.414.1
Active Choice Plugin : 2.7.2
Problem :
Sometime the configuration Script may take some big seconds to complete (provisionning by webserviceAPI calls, git commands, etc..). During this time, the user has an empty componant or a componant filled with previous state.
It should be interesting to have a setUp script which is call before the "regular" Script.
Usually this script will return a defaut "waiting" value.
The purpose of this, is to alert the user that something is building in background.
Another possible implementation can be to disable the component during the build.
[JENKINS-72213] Long script should alert user to wait for building of Active Choices (Reactive) Parameter
I will take a look at the [List Git Branches Parameter | Jenkins plugin|https://plugins.jenkins.io/list-git-branches-parameter/] which show a waiting spinner when building the component.
the select component use the class "select-ajax-pending", i will dig in order to find which line of code put this.
kinow,
Finally I used the spinner native component : Progress [Jenkins]
I've open a PR in order you to test the behaviour : JENKINS-72213 : Add a waiting spinner during parameter building by c3p0-maif · Pull Request #163 · jenkinsci/active-choices-plugin (github.com)
That sounds interesting! Not sure if we should let users configure this script, or if we should simply display a loading message and maybe a skeleton or some other web component to let the user know the page is loading and eventually the parameter will be rendered.
Maybe Jenkins provides something that could be re-used here, which would make it easier to implement and maintain. Alas I have limited time to volunteer on the plug-in, so I will focus on bugs instead of new features. Feel free to start a pull request if you or anyone has time to volunteer on an implementation. Thanks!
