[dashboard] Adjust Prebuild and Project Configurator pages to spec #5474

jankeromnes · 2021-09-01T08:12:35Z

Aligns the Prebuild & Project Configurator pages with the specs to fix #4423

TODO:

Show detailed Prebuild status and runtime below the logs in the Prebuild and Configurator pages
Refactor server.triggerPrebuild to make branchName optional (picks the default branch and makes e.g. the Prebuilds page load faster) and return information about the triggered Prebuild (so that we can get the logs after triggering in the Configurator)
Refactor the Configurator to use server.triggerPrebuild instead of the "manual" prebuild prefix (thus keeping the prebuild/project association)
Enable Run Prebuild button for Git-based configurations in the Configurator
Fix the Run Prebuild and New Workspace buttons for the Prebuild & Configurator pages, fixes [configuration] Don't suggest/allow starting another prebuild when one is running #5392 and fixes [configurator] Buttons don't do anything #5501

Drive-by fixes:

Rename Detecting project type ... loading screen to Detecting project configuration ... to be more truthful
Add more discoverable 'change' link when adding projects from GitLab/GitHub

Code looks good! 💯

One question to the New Workspace button on the Prebuild page: is it practical? You cannot start a workspace for old prebuilds anyways, so the page is more of a view. Wdyt of removing it from there?

suggestion: I think using just the verb change could go unoticed and confuse some users. Following the discussion in #5120 (comment) and the second iteration of the designs for repository selection in #4948, we could use a more verbose message here or below the repositories list. What do you think?

question: This is taking noticeably more time sometimes, like 4-5 seconds or more when there's no git based configuration. Expected?

Yes, I think we should look if we can do that ahead of time.

We could also probably optimize the "config inferrer": It currently makes repository requests one by one (e.g. "does a yarn.lock file exist? Oh... does a cargo.toml file exist? Oh... etc.)

Fetching the entire repo structure (not necessarily file content or history) in one go, and using that to respond to the "config inferrer"'s queries would already be a huge performance boost.

Now tracked as #5527

issue: This is currently showing duration as seconds like 5s but this could look confusing when showing time duration longer than a minute. For example, 306s. Ideally this could surface time duration for 306s as like 05:06 as described in the initial specs in #4948 (comment). However, it should be fine to resolve this in a follow up issue. 🏓

question: Now that we have proper status updates down here and this component is used as is in the project configurator, wondering if it makes sense to change or remove the status from the header although it could be useful to have the status up there.

If we remove the header instance we'll have to make sure the bottom part of the prebuild output is always visible. Of course, we could leave it as is for now but make sure the designs for both is identical. Alternatively, we could only include the status icon to avoid having duplicated information. What do you think?

issue: This is probably out of the scope of these changes but noticed that it takes a while to redirect to the configuration page once you select a team. Is this expected or needed? Cc @AlexTugarev

True, @AlexTugarev noticed a UI freeze, and I did too today. Maybe it's indeed MonacoEditor? (It's loaded lazily in the Configurator, in order not to make the entire dashboard slower)

issue: Could not get any prebuild log output here. Expected? 😭

It took some time the first time I opened it. But I, at last, got logs. I think this is unrelated to this PR.

Yes, sometimes logs don't show up at all ("Error: could not find headless logs for 1234"). Sometimes, they don't show up live, but eventually the entire logs show up after the prebuild is complete.

This morning I also had live logs. It's kind of a shame that this isn't more reliable.

We need to look into it (in a separate PR). Can we merge this? 😁

issue: Noticed that the status on the header section does not automatically get updated but you need to reload to the get new status. This could lead to having a discrepancy between these two places where status is surfaced.

Example A Example B

Agreed: The top status is based on the "prebuild" status, while the bottom one is based on the "prebuild workspace instance" status. Normally they should be in sync, but discrepancies can happen during incidents or because of bugs.

I'd opt to leave it here. I was just using it and didn't have any doubts that it was handy there. It should maybe show what it does (Open workspace on branch branch-name) in the tooltip.

Such an improvement! 💯 I can feel how all this could be useful 😁

The small nits should be done in small separate PRs. Based on all issues that we assign ourselves before taking them.

Good point. Like @svenefftinge, I'd prefer keeping it for now, but independently of whether we want to keep it, I believe the link is actually incorrect 😬 (it points to the context URL of the prebuild, which becomes incorrect when you push new commits on top of the branch -- instead, it should probably link to the commit URL instead).

/unhold

svenefftinge · 2021-09-03T11:43:57Z

instead, it should probably link to the commit URL instead

It should link to the branch but this needs to be communicated somehow.
But I see the point now. Having a button on an old outdated prebuild would be confusing.

jankeromnes · 2021-09-03T11:45:56Z

But I see the point now. Having a button on an old outdated prebuild would be confusing.

Or, we can still link to the exact (potentially outdated) prebuild by using the commit context URL.

But maybe after using it for a bit we'll know more about what's better here.
