Update pipelines table in real-time

Single Source of truth:

Update pipelines table in:

  • Pipelines,
  • Merge Request Pipelines,
  • Commit Pipelines.

in real time using https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/9998/diffs

Description

We have views like:

Currently you have to refresh the page to see updates. This should absolutely happen in real-time or at least be polled. This is especially important for those who are using counting on Gitlab (like me). I am always waiting for builds to be done and checking statuses.

Proposal

  • Do the exact same thing we do for live updates elsewhere in GitLab. e.g. Periodic polling with increasing delay when there's nothing new. So we poll for a note every 15 seconds, if nothing's changed we fall back to 30, 60, then 120 at the maximum. Then it resets if something happens on a poll. It's not great but it works.
