Need to refresh to see the build log

When I retry a build, I get directed to a page with an empty build log that keeps saying it's pending and I guess that there should be some AJAX fetching the actual build log and switching the displayed state to running. Right now, to get there, I need to refresh the page.

I kept having this issue for quite a couple releases so far.

Added frontend label

Do you mean the build status badge? The log should already be updated through ajax.

Can you give us steps to reproduce? Cannot reproduce at the moment. Feel free to reopen with those steps including browser/version numbers etc. Need more detail. 😄

Status changed to closed

@jschatz1:

It's 8.8.3. Chromium 50.0.2661.94 on Fedora 23.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Visit any build page,
2. Click "retry",
3. Note that the status is "pending" even though we get a build log at some point.

Reopening.

Status changed to reopened

@alfredo1 can you reproduce and report back if you can?

👍 I'll take a look

I can't repro this. locally seems to work as usual. I'll try on gitlab.com

Ok I read the comment from @d33tah and I understand the issue now. Right now we are not updating the builds status on the Builds tab. Related: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/17589

@jschatz1 Is there any plans to implement this? We already do polling to get ci_status. Doing another polling to get the build status doesn't seems to be the best idea. Maybe we should wait until we upgrade to Rails 5 so we can use ActionCable to implement this.

I'm unasigning from this.

@alfredo1 we aren't going to be using actioncable afaik. @northrup says polling is more scaleable. Or pubsub.

@markglenfletcher This seems like a duplicate considering all the work that's been going on on making all of gitlab real time: #31397 (closed)

Yes. Let's close it in favour of the scheduled issue here:
