Problem to solve
After submitting new GitLab-ci configuration feedback can be inconsistent. Sometimes there is no indication of the GitLab-CI doing anything.
Intended users
Further details
This problem has been surfaced through the baseline experience recommendations effort of 2019 Q2: gitlab-design#518 (closed)
User thoughts:
I see my file has been created successfully and the ci configuration is deemed valid. This is good to know, though I have no indication of it actually doing something.
Proposal
Offer an auto-updating status of the running pipeline, including a link towards it for verification. Make sure there is always something presented indicating the system is aware of the ci configuration and there is something happening in the background.
For example show a "created" status.
