    Jenkins search bug with "all" checkbox

    Brian Hughes · 1 · Last reply by catlight

    If you search a job and select that job the app automatically checks the "all" box because you've now selected "all" the jobs in the view, but once you delete your search phrase you notice that catlight truly selected "all" jobs on the server and not just the jobs from your search results. Disable auto-checking the "all" box when viewing search results (or accurately check whether all jobs were selected in the background and not just the jobs visible in the search results).

    Cancelled Builds from Azure DevOps show up as failed

    Hello,

    I have been looking at using CatLight in our organisation and you guys have a fantastic tool!

    I have one rather significant issue however. Cancelled builds seem to show up as failed. This makes my catlight red most of the time as we tend to let our pull request builds cancel mid way through as we dont have them as a required pass to complete the PR.

    I have read 4 years ago a post from you guys that this is related to the fact that TFS cancels after a timeout. I believe it now errors at timeout if

    Catlight show "unknown branch" when building branch merges

    Kbe · 1 · Last reply by catlight

    Hi there

    I'm running Catlight 2.32.2 and our CI engine is Jenkins v2.235.5.

    We're running GitFlow and when we merge a pull request, say PR1, into develop, all other PRs 2, 3 and 4 are triggered, merging the new develop commit (PR1) into PR2, 3 and 4

    When that happens, Catlight reports '~unknown-branch' for branches that are about to be built and if i.e. PR2 experiences merge conflicts, the build fails in Catlight, but for "unknown-branch" with the message: "Somebody broke the build", not who it is.

    It's quite annoying to not be able to see where the build comes

    Azure Devops (TFS) build shows "Microsoft.TeamFoundation.System" as a user that broke the build

    catlight · 0 · Posted

    This happens because Azure DevOps incorrectly reports the triggered user for the build in continuous integration mode when batching is disabled.

    Workaround:

    In Azure DevOps, go to edit pipeline -> triggers , and check the "Batch changes while a build is in progress".

    No accelerated notifications for Azure DevOps

    Bernhard Millauer · 3 · Last reply by catlight

    Hi! We enabled and configured the devops addon as suggested in https://support.catlight.io/i499-how-to-configure-accelerated-notifications-for-azure-devops but the acceleration isn't recognized. I event installed catlight on a new machine to see if my local settings interfere with it but no, the acceleration doesn't show up.

    Do we need to do anything more than what is described?

    Thanks

    CatLight for macOS should support Apple Silicon

    Jonathan Dodds · 0 · Posted

    CatLight v3.5.1 for macOS is Intel only. it is not a universal app.

    Apple completed transitioning to Apple Silicon (ARM) chips in June 2023.

    In the past CatLight Support indicated that ARM support is on the product roadmap and requires significant changes to the build infrastructure.

    HI,

    I'm trying to setup CatLight, but I get an 404 error on the Collection Url. When I browse to the url, it shows the tfs page. Maybe the whitespace is a problem?

    How can I fix this?

    Catlight dashboard does not display latest builds

    Keith · 2 · Last reply by Keith

    My dashboard does not always display the latest build which leads to a few different problems:

    1. Sometimes when a build fails, the try icon will correctly go red but the dashboard may show an older successful build, so looking at the dashboard does not help me identify which build actually failed.
    2. Sometimes when a build fails, the dashboard will show a different failed build which was submitted by a different user earlier that day, so essentially the dashboard shows that the wrong user broke the build, which creates confusion.

    Builds showing up as ? - but last build was successful

    Alfreo · 2 · Last reply by catlight

    So not sure here if it's just because the last time they were ran or what... but the dashboard is showing the builds as ? when I click to view the builds the last ones were successful (in January). Any reason for this?

    TFS all builds show up as "no builds" then refresh and send all notifications again.

    Alfreo · 3 · Last reply by catlight

    So it seems to be happening quite regularly (3 times in the last 15 minutes) where all builds I'm monitoring will just go blank and show up as ? "no builds" then will refresh after a minute or 2 and send me a whole lot of notifications about each of the build statuses. TFS 2015 Win10 machine (while most of these are XAML builds, even the vNext build showed this problem) Is the app losing connection to TFS? then getting it back after refresh period to send all notifications?

    I checked the %appdata%\catlight\logs\log.txt file and it showed just notifications were pushed.

    Unable to connect to Jenkins server in a subdirectory

    Josh Gillespie · 2 · Last reply by Josh Gillespie

    Our Jenkins is accessed via a subdirectory, so effectively something like

    putting in this URL in the Jenkins Connection Settings results in:

    • Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not Found).

    using Fiddler, I was able to see that the subdirectory is being dropped from the request to the API endpoint. If I modify that request to include the subdirectory (request #3 in screenshot below), the response indicates success.

    Hi,

     

    I am trying to install the Windows version on a Windows 7 developer machine, we have some policies regarding execution in various folders like fx the Temp folder. When I ask the Infraguys to install it for me with elevated rights the installer just says that it failed. Any ideas? Is it possibel to get the installationfiles in a zip-archive or something?

    Flash of white on refresh

    It would be nice if the build overview refreshed in a more ajax-y way, so there's no flash of bright white background before the page is rendered. It is quite startling and annoying to have the window open and be drawn to the white blink all the time.
