1053228 - Job details: Add a link to the buildbot master page for that job

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Tree Management :: Treeherder, defect, P4)

Description

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

For TBPL, we currently have the bookmarklet created in bug 809908 - which allows selecting a job in TBPL, and then using the bookmarklet to generate the (non-obvious) URL required to view that job on its buildbot master.

With treeherder we should see about building this into the UI - but perhaps in a way that's not surfaced too obviously, since only people with the appropriate VPN access can use it, so it will just confuse (/annoy) everyone else.

The URL is generated as follows:

    // claimed_by_name is of the form:
    // "buildbot-master22.build.mtv1.mozilla.com:/builds/buildbot/tests1-tegra/master"
    // Port number depends on whether the job is a test, try-build or non-try-build. See:
    // https://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/file/tip/buildfarm/maintenance/production-masters.json
    var bm = job.claimed_by_name.split(':');
    var port = /build[0-9]/.test(bm[1]) ? "8001" :
               /try[0-9]/.test(bm[1]) ? "8101" :
               /tests[0-9]/.test(bm[1]) ? "8201" :
               'unknown';
    window.open('http://' + bm[0] + ':' + port + '/builders/' + job.buildername + '/builds/' + job.buildnumber);

eg:
http://buildbot-master70.srv.releng.use1.mozilla.com:8001/builders/Linux%20x86-64%20mozilla-central%20valgrind/builds/58

claimed_by_name comes from the buildapi when using the bookmarklet, though we may be storing some of this in treeherder already (or it might make sense to, even if we don't).

Whilst TBPL didn't offer this feature, switching to treeherder means we cannot use the existing bookmarklet, so this is still a regression unless we rewrite the bookmarklet... which seems pointless when we should just build this in.

Buildbot is going away.
