In my current job, we ely on the both the classic Jenkins UI and
the Blue Ocean UI very heavily. We have hundreds of tests, producing huge
log files. We use the test report viewer in classic UI and Blue Ocean
very heavily.
Two things (out of many things) that I like about the Blue Ocean UI are:
1. massive text log files can be loaded more quickly in a web browser
2. it is possible to hyperlink directly to a single line in a log file,
which is very useful for pasting
into an e-mail or a Slack message, to share with co-workers.
I understand that the focus of Cloudbees has shifted to other things, and
maybe
for the next few years the pace of massive new work on Blue Ocean will be
slow.
However, it would still be nice to have someone (Cloudbees ?) fix some of
the minor
pot holes in Blue Ocean. For example:
- https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-53022 Cannot disable a
job in Blue Ocean
- https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-53019 Changes tab does
not group changes for multiple SCM providers by SCM
- https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-52825 Cannot see
executors in Blue Ocean UI
- https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-55691 Cannot edit build
information in Blue ocean UI
If some level of activity (even low level) could be invested in fixing
these types of pot holes, that would be nice.
If I am able, I will try to submit patches, but I'm a bit busy with my job,
and
am not an expert in Node.js.
