#277 RFE: insert link to task in all logs
Closed: Invalid Opened by kevin.

Currently when builds fail users post links directly to build.log or root.log or the like and have to be further questioned to get the link to the task so you can see what builder it was on, etc.

It might be nice if koji could just add these links to all of the end logs so you could get to the task from root.log/build.log, etc.

ie, for
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/3549/17273549/build.log or root.log or etc
insert at the top:
task: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=17273549
then when viewing the build.log you can simply select and paste the link to get the task page.


These logs are for the most part not generated by koji. It doesn't seem right for koji to mangle them.

Yeah, I guess most of those are made by mock. ;(

I wonder if this might be solved by something like a greasemonkey snippet to rewrite the taskid in the url to the right url.

Personally, I have a small bookmarklet that takes a task id and goes to the task page. Since you can get the task id from the log url, it's pretty quick. Not a great solution of course, but it works.

Longer term, the way to solve this is probably to add a log view page in kojiweb instead of just linking to the raw log.

Yeah, a bookmarklet or greasmonkey script would do...

Feel free to close this out as I agree there's not too much for koji to do here.

Ok,closing this for now. Adding a note to myself to revisit this later
