Add a fragment with status of last build

[costateixeira]

When looking at an IG, we know it's built ok but we have no idea if the last build failed. Can we add a fragment that templates can optionally display - next to the publish box? - and show something like "This spec is up to date" or "The last build failed"... (text tbd)

[lmckenzi]

How could the current build possibly know that the last build failed?

[costateixeira]

checking the presense of e.g. http://build.fhir.org/ig/WorldHealthOrganization/smart-anc/failure/build.log or something?

[grahamegrieve]

The template can't add a fragment, so this is in the wrong place

[grahamegrieve]

Also, I don't understand how this is useful. if this build succeeds, why does it matter whether the last build failed?

[costateixeira]

The scenario where this is useful is when the build does not succeed - the current page (previous build) should show this somehow

[lmckenzi]

First, don't have a clue how the 'somehow' would work Second, who would care about this other than the person who's making changes - who can always monitor the Zulip stream.

[costateixeira]

this change is precisely for when one of the people making changes does not check the Zulip stream for one change, or when they cannot fix it, or for non-committers to see the status. If the build gets broken, non-committers will be looking at a broken build without knowing, and the next committers may presume it's their commit that breaks things.

[lmckenzi]

If you have multiple committers, then you might want to look at putting in merge blocking that prevents unsuccessful commits from merging to the master. Non-committers won't be looking at a broken build - they'll be looking at the last successful build. They'll have no idea there are pending changes they don't yet see, and that's probably fine. That's what a CI-build is...
