1057303 - Filters: Add the ability to filter by the currently selected job type

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tree Management :: Treeherder, defect, P2)

Description

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

In TBPL one can:
1) Select a job
2) Click the job's buildername string in the bottom left hand panel
...which quickly applies a filter that matches the current job type.

This doesn't appear to be possible in treeherder, and it's a fairly common sheriffing workflow, so would be good to add it (or something equivalent) back :-)

Middle-clicking that filter link to open that filtered list of pushes in a separate tab is also useful when we need to keep an eye on a particular job type over a long period of time, while leaving the original, unfiltered list of pushes open.

Not sure if Treeherder has or can have a better workflow, but the use case of this would be something like trying to track down when a failure (intermittent or not) started happening, or to make sure that backing out a bad patch did indeed resolve a test failure.
In either situation, I'd select the failing test, then middle-click the job name link to open up a filtered view with just that failing job listed. I can then pin that tab in the tab bar and check back on the results off and on through the rest of my shift, or until the bustage is identified and dealt with.

Actually I guess this depends on the implementation - it may not depend on bug 1045857.
