127203 2014-01-17 16:24:17 -0800 EWS should immediately notify patch authors about failures (and maybe when everything is green too) 2024-02-19 08:56:05 -0800 1 1 1 Unclassified WebKit Tools / Tests 528+ (Nightly build) Unspecified Unspecified RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED P2 Normal --- 1 ap webkit-unassigned aakash_jain ahmad.saleem792 dbates mitz rniwa ryanhaddad sam oldest_to_newest 969311 0 ap 2014-01-17 16:24:17 -0800 It's a huge waste of time that you are no longer informed when a build fails on EWS. This seriously delays urgent work, as you only start working on fixes when you happen to manually poll, or even worse, when a reviewer tells you to. It's good to not spam everyone, but patch author should be notified by EWS immediately I think. Some ideas: - e-mail; - IRC; - browser notifications when bug page is open. The latter might be best, as it also gives some control over whether to get pinged - keep the bug open if you care, close it if it's not urgent, and you cannot afford distraction now. 969407 1 sam 2014-01-17 23:08:11 -0800 If we do this, it should be opt-in. At least in my workflow, this would be more annoying than helpful. 2014985 2 ahmad.saleem792 2024-02-18 16:55:58 -0800 I think it is partially implemented already in EWS as of today: -> Build fails - Email (need to be in Contributors.json - if I am not wrong) -> Test fails - Email __ Do we need to enhance it with `notifications` or make it more streamlined etc., I think we can raise new bug with new ideas or we might even have it already. Should we close this? @Alexey 2015120 3 ap 2024-02-19 08:56:05 -0800 I think so too, but I almost never post PRs that can break the build at this point, and don't have hands-on experience. Adding Aakash and Ryan who would have the most insight.
