Feedback: commit status links and failure descriptions
H
Henna Abbas
We recently updated the commit statuses CircleCI posts to your VCS. This is the place to tell us what's working and what isn't.
What changed:
- Status links now include the workflow and job IDs (circleci.com/workflow/:workflow-id/job/:job-id for build jobs, circleci.com/workflow/:workflow-id for non-build jobs) instead of the project slug and build number.
- Failed job descriptions now point to the CircleCI CLI: "Job failed. To see why, run the CircleCI CLI: circleci run get {pipeline-id} --failure-report"
We'd love to hear:
- Do the new links take you where you expect?
- Is the failure description useful, for you or for AI agents working on your pipelines?
- Did the change break any tooling that parses status URLs or descriptions?
- What else should a commit status include to help you fix a failing pipeline faster?
