Build: show build step #102

@agjohnson

Description

@agjohnson

We will have additional build steps soon, for pre/post builds, etc. We may want to show the explicit step names somewhere in the UI.

Two big options here:

  • Show metadata like a label on each build command
  • Group commands by the build step instead of just sequentially listing

Show metadata

Perhaps this is a small label or inverted label on the build command. This could overwhelm the listing though, so would need to find a minor addition here

This could lead to also wanting some balance on the UI and also showing labels for our existing commands -- for example "build", "install:default", "install:custom", etc.

Group commands by step

This might be a better UX altogether. With this method, build commands would be listed sequentially under an expanded section for each build step.

So instead of seeing the build commands listed on the build output page, the build output page would show:

  • Cloning repository
  • Running pre-install
  • Installing dependencies
  • Running post-install
  • Building
  • ..

Those sections could be dropped down to see the commands in each group.

We'd probably want to store the build step/substep (install:pre) on each command for easy grouping.


  • Play with UI, experiment with both options
  • If changing modeling separate out modeling changes
