New pipeline UI makes finding blocked pipelines cumbersome

Features Requests
1

Hello,

Previously pipelines would get either a green play icon for completed, or a pause icon for blocked. This made it easy to list pipelines on the main UI and quickly notice pipelines that need attention.

This morning we noticed these icons are no longer visible. I would like to request that these icons are reinstated.

Hey Tim!

Regarding the feedback of easily getting a sense of pipeline status "at a glance", I’ve been working with the team over the past 24 hours to discuss some ideas — one of which I’d love to get your thoughts on.

Essentially we’d reintroduce the status as a feature next to the graph, which would reflect the latest build state. This would be immediately visible (i.e. before the graphs are loaded in) — so at a glance you can get a sense of what’s failing. In the longer-term we’d like to present a way to filter pipelines by the state, in addition to the current A–Z presentation.

If you'd prefer you can use a browser extension to preview the status rows in your own account, which is probably the best way to get a feel for the changes: https://github.com/yourfriendbuzz/space-guacamole/

Would the below be useful to you?

Hey @Tim.Lehner — just wanted to give you a heads up that we just released an update that reinstates the status icon to the Pipeline Overview UI. Thanks for your feedback!

Hi, I’d like to second this request.

The overview is really helpful (thanks) but the thing I really miss is a view that was removed some time ago. In this view there is no way to tell what stage each build has advanced to - and I really want to know.

I know I can find out by clicking each one individually, but could you please, please consider adding some kind of information at this level that means I don’t have to click into each one? The new Groups feature means TWO levels of clicking now!

Thanks,

Neil

Hey @Nello :wave:

Welcome to the Buildkite community!

We appreciate your feedback on the new UI. Right now, it is only visible when you click through an individual build as you noted but I will share your request with our product team for further consideration. At this stage, we cannot confirm any ETA or when it will be released, but once our product team investigates and weighs this request, we will have an update to share with you.

Cheers,

Priya.
