Nudge users to re-enable prebuilds if webhook has been disabled for GitLab projects #12414

Open gtsiolis opened 2 years ago

gtsiolis commented 2 years ago

Problem to solve

GitLab automatically disabled prebuilds when the webhook is failing intermittently and is temporarily disabled.

See relevant docs about failing webhooks from GitLab:

If a webhook fails repeatedly, it may be disabled automatically.

If the hook continues to fail, the back-off period is extended on each retry, up to a maximum disabled period of 24 hours.

See relevant discussion (internal).

Proposal

Nudge users to re-enable prebuilds if webhook has been disabled for GitLab projects.

This could probably be resolved with an alert component at the top of the prebuilds list like the proposal in https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/9232 when prebuild are paused.

TBD (To be discussed)

I created https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/13985 to tackle the failing webhooks.
