FR: show date+time instead of humanized #1448

Closed steadfasterX closed 1 month ago

steadfasterX commented 1 year ago

setup

description

atm the format of when a task has started and its duration is "humanized" in a way which makes it impossible to identify when a task was exactly(!) started or what the exact(!) duration was:

image

3 hours can be "2 hours and 34 minutes", who knows? only when you calculate start and end manually you can then identify the real duration.. Also when you want to identify an unusual duration or simply to see if the duration increases/decreases over the last runs the current output is not useful at all.

The start info "a few weeks/days/.. ago" is not very useful as well. e.g when trying to identify a specific task in hundreds of template runs and you want to investigate an issue which occurs since a specific date and time. also it will be much more easier to find when a template was executed the last time or how often etc etc. impossible atm as regardless where you look the date is nowhere mentioned at all.

solution proposal

afaiu the code this defines that "humanized" output (for 'start' at least) somehow (sorry go+vue noob): https://github.com/ansible-semaphore/semaphore/blob/9f9606e18ac3cb7c44c070829faad678cfc5d521/web/src/main.js#L16

imho it would be fully ok to switch this globally, i.e. everywhere to date + time (imho: YYYY-DD-MM HH:MM:SS).

as an enhanced variant of this it might be useful letting the user choose between the displayed format (like YYYY-DD-MM HH:MM:SS or 2 weeks ago) but that is more nice to have (for me) as it is more important (for me) to see the real start date+time and exact duration time..

The normal solution for this is to mouseover for the datetime.

steadfasterX commented 1 year ago

this is not a solution sorry. it takes me 1 sec to find a specific date+time and ^10 time to do it manually by mouseover every single task (having dozens per day). other then that mouseover stopped working for me a while ago (no scripts blocked but maybe still something in my setup ofc)

looks great thanks! is there a way to set it to 24 hours clock?
