Fix: The new landing page now correctly reloads the workflow graph when starting a new event. See PR

Fix: Overflow handling for long messages added to prevent text overflow in event card. See PR

Fix: Pipeline data removed from route models due to direct injection into components. See PR

API

Addressed a bug in build triggering in certain cases of restarts, ensuring the next build is correctly triggered from the latest child event, see PR

Fixed an issue where an external trigger couldn't trigger a pipeline stage due to a misinterpretation of the event associated with the pipeline the job belongs to, see PR

Avoided creation of empty events when changed file names match the source directory, see PR

ParentBuildId now set just before execution to ensure correct metadata capture from parent builds, especially when they finish simultaneously, see PR

Converted the 'isActive' parameter from string to boolean for MySQL on banner list endpoint to ensure proper banner list retrieval, see PR

We’re thankful for you! The Screwdriver team is pleased to announce our newest release which brings in new features and bug fixes across various components.

New Features

UI

Virtual job improvements - You can now see a different icon for virtual jobs in the workflow graph. They will also have a `virtual` tag in the pipeline Options tab. The virtual job build page will no longer show logs or warnings. You can read more about using `screwdriver.cd/virtualJob` annotation in the Screwdriver documentation.

Option to download directory artifacts as zipped file - You can now download an artifact directory for a build as a zipped file. Navigate to a folder under Artifacts and click the existing “Download” button. Max size 2GB.

Jobs list view has stages column and ability to select number of historical builds shown - You can now see which stage each job belongs to and sort by stage. You can also select to show up to 30 historical builds on the same page.

Spoooky season is here! The Screwdriver team is pleased to announce our newest release which brings in new features and bug fixes across various components.

New Features

UI

Show remote trigger's displayName as title - You can now see the remote trigger’s pipeline name and branch by hovering on its node in the workflow graph.

Option to download all artifacts as zipped file - You can now download all artifacts for a build as a zipped file. Navigate to root artifact folder and you should see Download All button.

The end of summer is approaching! The Screwdriver team is pleased to announce our newest release which brings in new features and bug fixes across various components.

New Features

UI

Allow starting/restarting job from middle of stage - You can now start/restart the event from a job that is in the middle of a stage. Caveats: Stage setup will always rerun and you cannot rerun stage teardown directly.

Allow starting/restarting detached stage - You can also start/restart a detached stage. Click on the three dots on the top right corner of the stage to see the prompt.

It’s summer! The Screwdriver team is pleased to announce our newest release which brings in new features and bug fixes across various components.

New Features

UI

Display admins on pipeline options page

API

Skip execution of virtual jobs - A job can be marked as virtual by adding the annotation screwdriver.cd/virtualJob: true. These jobs will not be executed while processing the workflow for an event, but will proceed with SUCCESS status. These jobs will skip queueing and execution and builds of its downstream jobs will be immediately created to continue the processing of the workflow.

Fixes

Update Node Start and Restart Logic in Screwdriver UI

This implementation aims to enhance the tooltip functionality in the Screwdriver UI by updating the logic to depend solely on workflow graph information for determining job start and restart capabilities. This approach addresses issues caused by missing data from the API, ensuring tooltips are correctly generated based on the current view and associated workflow graph details.

Fix Padding on Pipeline Routes to Remove Whitespace

This pull request resolves an issue with the left and right padding on pipeline routes in the Screwdriver UI. The excessive padding was causing unwanted whitespace, which affected the overall layout and user experience.

Standardize Navbar Height for Consistent Layout

This update addresses the issue of the navbar's height changing based on window size, which, while minor, can cause inconsistencies in the layout. By setting the navbar to a constant height, we eliminate these variations, simplifying height calculations for other components and ensuring a more consistent user experience.

Features

Implement Browser Notifications

The implementation includes enhancements to the notification system through the browsers to ensure timely and relevant updates for users. This feature aims to provide a more intuitive and informative user experience by optimizing the delivery and content of notifications based on user actions and system events.

Include job template information on the build detail page

In Screwdriver, jobs can implement existing templates. This pull request modifies the build detail page to display information about the template used by each build, along with a link to view details about the template itself.

Add environment variable for private pipeline - `SD_PRIVATE_PIPELINE` will be set to `true` if private pipeline, otherwise `false`
