Remove/hide job ID's

Resources

Issue idea came from: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/25564#note_26087825

Problem

Job ID's aren't mentioned anywhere where they are worthy of referencing externally.. so its a bit useless information. The job name is of much more value... and if we need to reference to them.. we could do so by referencing the job name in context of the pipeline ID (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/28291 anyone?).

also they are not used in the pipeline graph or mini-pipeline dropdown

Proposal

Let's get rid/hide it

Design:

	before	after
job list in pipeline view
Job view
general jobs list view
env list view
env detail view

Let me know if i missed a certain view! if not let's remove gitlab-foss2024184 label, assign gitlab-foss2024186 label and get this implemented

Value

• Cleaner look
• Less confusion between ID's

changed title from Remove job ID's to Remove/hide job ID's

I think it makes sense to remove these IDs. I wonder if we should keep things consistent and remove ids from other tables as well.

@grzesiek my point with not removing the pipeline id's yet is that we need a numeric ID to tell us which pipeline we are talking about if we were to implement discussions on pipelines and jobs https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/28291.. as pipelines don't have names.. any can have multiple sources that trigger them.. while jobs always belong to their pipeline

Yeah, let's just do this. I expect it won't be a problem, but maybe we'll hear otherwise. It's less risk that removing pipeline IDs (which we should also consider removing despite hypothetical future concerns).

changed milestone to %Backlog in gitlab-foss

added ~1434245 ~974571 and removed ~19492 labels

It seems that the last screenshot in the after field is supposed to be different. =)

@dimitrieh could take a look at this comment, please?

added pipeline in GitLab FOSS label

@blackst0ne actually it's a different image, but only at a very detailed level In the “Job” column, instead of showing the name of the job and it's own ID, we show the name of the job and the pipeline ID. Like so: [job-name] in [pipeline ID] by [user-avatar].

@jschatz1 can we please schedule this? Thanks

@bikebilly @markpundsack do we want this?

@bikebilly Cool. Do you want to schedule it now, or wait until next planning cycle?

Am I the only one using job's ids to write the url?

I am removing gitlab-foss2024201 since I don't think this qualifies for that label :) This is also not a gitlab-foss14213

@markpundsack @bikebilly @filipa @ayufan I like to propose the following in addition to this change, as this was discussed in the CI meeting.

• https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/34666 - Get rid of general jobs list view entirely
• https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/34665 - Get rid of cancel all jobs button in general jobs list view
• https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/34664 - Create inspectable job list view of runner for everyone

The first 2 of those being small issues to complement this one. The third being a repurposing of the job list in a meaningful way, perhaps for 9.6?

@bikebilly i wonder if we should adjust it for the job detail view as well. As is suggested in the mockups in the description. If so the mockups may need slight updating.

I will extra assign myself as reponsible UX in GitLab FOSS

assigned to @dimitrieh

@bikebilly we are doing away with the unique job id correct? However this may still have some use to verify a variable within a build. In that sense we might want to keep it in the job view only. Also as with 9.4 the job view (titlebar and sidebar) have slightly changed.. thus needing an update design wise.. as for the mockups presented

added Deliverable in GitLab FOSS label

changed the description

changed the description

as per @jschatz1, this won't be for 9.5

removed Deliverable in GitLab FOSS label

removed milestone

@bikebilly does this get next 2-3 3-6 milestone?

unassinging

removed assignee

@dimitrieh, job header was changed last release and it is the same and the pipeline header.

What do you think if we keep the job id there? I think it would be good to have some consistency. It would also be cool from a code point of view we could keep reusing the component :)

changed weight to 2
