1162702 - queue: Include artifact size in API metadata (queue.listArtifacts)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Taskcluster :: Services, defect)

Description

[Fred Wenzel [:wenzel]]

For bug 1151842, I am adding some API consumer code to nightly.mozilla.org to link to the lastest build of b2g-linux64 from there.

One thing I need for display is the file size of the build artifact, which I seem to be unable to get out of the taskcluster API at this moment.

I'll work around it by sending a HEAD request to the artifact itself, but it would be useful if the metadata returned by the API would just include artifact size as well.

I assume this for the queue.listArtifacts API end-point.

I agree this would be nice to have. We don't have the meta-data right now because we can't promise correctness is face of untrusted workers.

But we plan to do a 3-step artifact publication process in bug 1155645, which should enable us
to maintain artifact size as an attribute in our meta-data.

I don't know when we'll get around to it. But if it's a priority feel free to increase "importance".
(It's not a quick hack, because it involves multiple components, but I think we want to have it)

All good. The workaround I mentioned in comment 0 works just fine for my purposes:
https://github.com/mozilla/nocturnal/pull/38/files#diff-e750d170b09d7d75abc43159175815e0R232

So while I think it's good metadata to have, I am not blocked on it. Thanks!

@jhford, I think this will likely happen for the new blob artifacts you're adding.
