Hi

Thank you first for this great feature: https://about.gitlab.com/releases/2022/12/22/gitlab-15-7-released/#retry-a-manual-job-with-updated-variables

Would it be possible to provide the same options also for all kind of jobs?

We have the following use cases:

  1. Rerun a failed job with for example with CI_DEBUG_TRACE
  2. We run npm audit during build and fail if critical vulnerability are detected. We can then re-run SKIP_SECURITY_CHECK to skip this validation and get successful build.

Another question is, if it's possible to do same via the Jobs API

Proposal

Add buttons for failed/succeed/canceled (I am not sure we should support skipped jobs since, currently, users are unable to run them from the UI)

Implementation Plan

backend

  1. We need to update the GraphQL mutation: retryJobWithVariables to support updating variables for non-manual jobs.
  2. Add necessary test coverage

frontend

  1. We need to update the Retry icons to be rendered always.
  2. The form to update the variables can be re-used, with text / design updates
  3. Add necessary test coverage
