[JENKINS-33481] build parameters popup flashes and disappears #7927

Open timja opened 8 years ago

timja commented 8 years ago

If you have a job with parameters and it is waiting for an executor, you can click on a notepad icon to see build's parameters, if you have a lot of parameters or text when the popup have as many lines that it overtake visible view of browser, it flicker and disappear, it is difficult sometimes to see the information.

This looks pretty crazy. Not sure there's a good solution short of having a separate page for pending builds. With these many parameters, chances are screen space is limiting as well, so not sure how much getting rid of the flicker would help.

Depending on why you need the information, one option could be to access the remote API for the queue to see the parameters. It may be weird to use, but should work. Something like:

/queue/api/xml?tree=items[actions[parameters[*]],params,task[name]]

May be the popup could have a "safe size" and some link, or something like that, to go to all parameters.

Separate page for the queue would be a good ******* long overdue idea. When I'm navigating jobs, I don't need the queue. When I'm navigating the queue, I don't need any job views.

Also, this issue has been there for at least 10 years and on all Firefox versions I've used so far. Actually, this is more like a major bug, because the blinking tooltip covers nearly all of the screen if there are many parameters and makes it hard to click anything in it.

P.S. Similar things happen on stage view popups/tooltips. They appear for around 3 seconds and then disappear. Tooltips are generally not a solution but a carefully fabricated problem in UI flows.
