EWS should have a way to retry a patch

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Aakash Jain]

For example, if a patch depended on another patch, and EWS ran it too early, it shouldn't be necessary to re-upload it.

Also, sometimes EWS is just wrong because of flaky trunk.

Tested in: https://ews.webkit-uat.org/status-bubble/380828/

The button UI would need slight polishing.

Do we have to use *args here? Until this false, everything was using a variable with a descriptive name. I think we either want a named variable or start using kwargs in this call.

Were we intending the EWS button style to be improved in this patch or a future one?

For what it's worth, the button seems pretty consistent with the existing style.

Why weren't we redirecting before?

Moved 'retried' variable declaration below complete_at in updated patch, so that we don't have to pass this optional variable while instantiating this class.

Improved one UI aspect in updated patch, the button was rendering in new line sometimes.

It was work-in-progress earlier. It's a better UX to simply refresh the status-bubble on clicking the retry button. Builds which would be retried would turn blue (in-progress), (handled by the changes in statusbubble.py code).

I like this, do we have an example or a screenshot for the UI change?

https://ews.webkit-uat.org/status-bubble/380828/ the 'Retry failed builds' button was being rendered in new-line earlier., Now it's rendered in same line along-with the status-bubbles.
