Allow ability to bulk delete artifacts from the Artifacts list
Release notes
Problem to solve
Artifacts need to be able to be deleted in bulk as they can often impact storage negatively. It is tedious to have to delete them one-by-one. We found this out in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ux-research/-/issues/1859+. This is an iteration on #33418 (closed).
Intended users
User experience goal
Delete many artifacts at once.
Proposal
- Add a mutation that will delete more than one artifact by taking in an array of artifact IDs, which might also require more work to create a service to do the deleting like bulk runner deletion did?
- service MR, for reference: !93573 (merged)
- mutation MR, for reference: !93583 (merged)
- Add a
<gl-form-checkbox />
at the start of each artifact row to control whether the artifact is selected for deletion - We can keep a list of selected artifacts in the same way that we're keeping a list of expanded jobs already, then when the user clicks the bulk delete button, we call the mutation with that array of IDs
- Use the same "Are you sure?" modal pattern as we're using for single artifact deletion to prevent accidental deletion
- Hide these elements if the user doesn't have permission to delete artifacts (#382078 (closed))
