Button to convert manual build steps into automatic ones
Preface
When a merge request has an associated build running, we have a "merge when build passes" button. This tells GitLab to execute the merge (a typically manual action) once the automated process completes.
Description
When a manual build step is waiting for a previous build to complete, I'd like similar functionality - some button I can press now so that GitLab runs the manual action immediately once the automated part is done.
As of now, if I want that manual step to run ASAP, I have to wait on the pipeline screen and mash [F5]
until the previous steps pass and that "play" button becomes available.
Proposal
Add a button to "automatically run [manual build step]" when previous steps pass.
Given this pipeline, where deploy
is the only manual
step:
I'd like the ability to click something on/near the deploy
step to schedule its execution ASAP.
