Reduce the steps to compare old job runs with new ones

Release notes

Problem to solve

My CI workflow (and I believe other people have the same) is:

  1. Code code code
  2. Push
  3. Have a look at CI how it failed
  4. Go back to 1)

Currently, step 3) involves quite a lot of clicking around: 3a) From previous job run, go to the "Pipelines" 3b) Find and click the latest pipeline 3c) Find and click the job I want to see 3d) Scroll to the bottom

It would be great to have a link to the next run of the same job. I could simply click it and Gitlab CI would do all the steps above for me. I would simply get log of the new run, roughly at the same scroll position.

Thanks for considering.

Intended users

User experience goal

Comparing the performance of the same job for new pipeline runs shouldn't take a lot of clicks.
