Revamped GitHub Checks UI
under review
Miguel Pereira
One of the things GitHub Checks offers is the possibility of a custom UI for checks outputs. I’m sure we can agree this potential is a bit under-utilised in CircleCI, which is only a bullet list.I just wanted to know if there are any plans in the short term to improve this. Something that makes it easy to visually parse quickly the state of your workflow (as the workflow view in the CircleCI web app).

This didn't make the cut for this year, but will stay open for ongoing consideration. Keep those ideas for better GitHub Checks coming!

Enhancements to GitHub Checks are being considered for the second half of 2022. We'll update this idea again after scope and timelines are established. Cheers!

Oran Wilder: One improvement that would be great (let me know if it's better to put this ina new feature request):
GitHub supports multiple "conclusion" types including
cancelled
: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/checks/runs?apiVersion=2022-11-28#create-a-check-run:~:text=MM%3ASSZ.-,conclusion,-stringIt would be amazing if "cancelled" workflow runs came through in GitHub Checks as "cancelled" instead of failed. We utilize workflow cancellation heavily to control costs, dedupe runs, etc. and it would be great to see those as cancelled in the github UI instead of red Xs
