Support for CCTray XML format

[bekh6ex]

I've tried to find if Cirrus exports build state in CCTray XML format. Couldn't find anything, so it seems to be either missing or not documented.

I think this feature might improve user experience a lot for both:

• enterprise users
  • who want to use their own build dashboards
  • might be in process of migration from one CI to another and want to unify the the presentation of build results
• Open Source developers
  • who maintain many projects that use different CI solutions
  • want constantly see the build state on their desktop using something like CCMenu

No, sadly right now Cirrus does not support this.

Nice format! I'm surprised I've never heard of it. It will be nice to support it for organizations and repositories via URLs like:

https://api.cirrus-ci.com/github/ORGANIZATION/cctray.xml
https://api.cirrus-ci.com/github/ORGANIZATION/REPO/cctray.xml

Will work on that later this week. @bekh6ex how are you planing to use it?

[bekh6ex]

I wanted to set it up for my personal project on the laptop.

But also, I've used things like Nevergreen or BuildReactor on quite some projects.

It's rather widely supported across CI tools. See find cctray for example.

It's really nice to have a big screen build monitor in the room that will play "sad sound" when the build fails so that everyone will be on to fixing it right away. 😄

Hahaha, that sounds like a funny use case. I agree this could be a great addition.

that sounds like a funny use case

Except being funny it is extremly useful, especially if the team is doing trunk-based development and commits 50+ times to master daily. On the last project I've worked on it improved our daily life drastically.

No, I agree it sounds very useful, but also funny at the same time.
