Introducing CatLight Protocol 1.0 - an open standard for continuous delivery servers. CatLight app can now connect to any server that implements this protocol.

New protocol is a replacement for obsolete cc.xml format that was created over a decade ago, and no longer meets the feature set of modern build systems.

CatLight protocol has native support for branches, folders, consistent build history, authentication, caching and selective loading. It provides enough information for CatLight app features like build investigations, automatic branch tracking and personalized build dashboard.

We invite developers of continuous delivery servers to implement this protocol to

Hello, 

I love your product, but when opening the dashboard it is very difficult to see the short history represented by Red and Green boxes. It would be extremely helpful if the colors could be modified in the dashboard so we could use something custom, for example a blue/red combo (like jenkins) to be able to see clearly.

Thanks for your consideration,

Craig 

Hi there!

Would it be possible that CatLight adds new builds jobs from a Jenkins folder automatically?

We are using the Jenkins "Pipeline Multibranch Plugin" (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Pipeline+Multibranch+Plugin) to build various git branches, which adds every branch build to a folder

CatLight 2.5 now works with Git branches, and will show a separate build history for each branch.

We divide branches in four categories:

• Primary - they will be always visible on the dashboard. They include branches like master, develop, trunk, etc.
• Short-lived - those are branches for pull requests. CatLight will show them for one day on the dashboard.
• Other - this is a category for feature, bugfix and release branches. They will be tracked while they are active, and had at least one build in the past week.
• Ignored - those branches will not be monitored. You can hide

Alwais I am getting an error when login in catlight client.

And my password and email are corrects.

I am trying to connect for on-premise TFS, and alwais get the same error:

"Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: <. Path '', line 0, position 0."

and my Project Collection Url, user and password (domain\user) are correct.

CatLight just started having a little toaster telling me my subscription is expiring soon.  I went to your website and downloaded the lasts version, which says its free.  So why does it keep telling me I am going to lose access to it soon?

Add support for monitoring issues in Redmine

Our team uses Redmine for bug tracking.  Was wondering if CatLight currently works with Redmine or if there is any plan for it to in the future.

Thanks!

Hi,

I would like to know if CatLight is limited to build events only?

how can I be Sure as a developer that my code is protected and not exposed to you or other third party company?

thanks 

Eliran

does catlight has access to the code in tfs?

This may be a bit of an implementation question, but is build investigation data stored on a 3rd party server?

Hi,

At the moment, CatLight cannot connect to teamcity if only NTLM is used. GitExtensions is having the same Issue currently. To workaround this issue it's possible to get an authentication cookie when ntlmlogin.html page is browsed. This authentication cookie can than be passed for further rest calls.

a powsershell sample can be found in the answer from mclayton on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11020066/log-onto-teamcity-server-using-rest-api-without-passing-credentials-in-the-url

Br, Daniel

The build start play icon that is shown on the windows notifications is green but the icon in the dashboard is the new yellow color. The windows toast icon should also be yellow to be consistent.

We implemented several changes in this release:

• Sorting order for the dashboard can be configured in settings
• Force-refresh button at the bottom of the dashboard
• Don't show work item changes that I made myself - configured in settings
• Showing total work item count in full-screen view

Getting the "Something Broke Down"error when trying to add a TFS connection.

Log file shows the following:

Since the beginning of the project, we announced that CatLight will be free for small teams, and there will be a paid version for bigger companies.

We are introducing CatLight Pro - a version of the app for business users. This version can monitor any number of build definitions and work item queries. It also includes priority support. You can buy a monthly or annual subscription to CatLight Pro using a credit card. For pricing details, see https://catlight.io/editions

Free edition is available for individuals and companies that have 3 users or less. This version can monitor up to

Hi,May i ask about how to install catlight on ubuntu16.04,because i can't install it by using the package which was download on catlight downloading page.thank u! 

VSTS is going to have a breaking change in the API: unique account id will have a different value in a couple of months. We are rolling out an update that will make CatLight compatible with this change.

If you notice any problems, let us know.

Compatibility fix is implemented in v2.2.4

CatLight 2.2 adds a new set of tray icons. You will see a colored outline icon when something is broken, but it does not need your attention.

For example, if the build is broken, but somebody is investigating it, you will get an colored outline icon in tray.

Another example is acknowledging a list of work items.
