Expectations
What are we expecting to happen?
When the Feature Flag is remove, the Environment Path will be available and visible in the Alert Details. We expect the possible following 3 scenarios to happen:
A | B | C |
---|---|---|
environment is queried from graphQL
|
environment is queried from graphQL
|
environment is queried from graphQL but it's null for some reason
|
path is returned and it's a string
|
path is null for some reason
|
|
The page has the environment displayed (in the table, environment is above details) | The page looks as in B but the name of the environment is not a link |
The page will not display the environment in the summary but it will have an empty row in the table |
What might happen if this goes wrong?
What can we monitor to detect problems with this?
Beta groups/projects
