Description

Currently when a forced or scheduled build kicks off, there is a delay before projects appear on the Queues page.

During this time according to the logs, they are in the 'prepare build' queue, but this is not visible through the web ui.

This causes users to think that nothing is happening.

The Queues page should also show what projects are in the 'prepare build' queue.

See screen shot, the message "Prepare Build Queue is empty" is displayed even when there is a project in the queue.

... it's a typo in this line:

> Modified: continuum/branches/continuum-1.3.x/continuum-webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp/admin/buildQueueView.jsp
...
> + <c:if test="$

{empty prepaerBuildQueues}

The order on the queues page is currently
prepare build
current build
checkout

I think the current build should be at the top. That's the most interesting/useful thing on the page, and when the page refreshes you can immediately see what's building.

That probably implies a reverse chronological order, so...

current build
checkout
prepare build

What do you think?

or... is the 'checkout queue' only used when you first add a project, and not at all during scheduled/forced builds? In that case, maybe it should be:

current build
prepare build
current checkout

Also, this change needs a documentation update, so let's leave the issue open until that's done.

I didn't think Queues was documented at all, but grep turned up user_guides/viewing_queues/index.apt which isn't listed on the menu!

The project groups column should be links instead of plain text, like they are in the other sections on the page.

There should be a cancel icon next to the current item in the prepare build queue.

(These can be handled as separate issues if you want... I know you're trying to get 1.3.3 out. Let me know and I'll open them.)

The reason why I did not put a cancel icon next to the current item in prepare build queue is because it's doing an svn update, so I'd like to prevent having a corrupted working copy and will need the user to do an svn cleanup.

IIRC, previously we also don't allow cancellation while project is still updating?

Yes, please open another issue if you still think we should have a cancel icon for current prepare build.

No problem if there's a reason not to have a way to cancel it, but everything else on the page has one so we should mention in the docs why it's not there.

Do you mean there's a time when you can't cancel a current build? It looks like you can cancel a checkout, doesn't that suffer from the same problem? I'm looking at http://continuum.apache.org/docs/1.3.3-SNAPSHOT/administrator_guides/queues.html

It just needs the links then, and this one can be done.
