Environment.action: access and prepare should reset the auto_stop_in timer when set for the environment
Release notes
Problem to solve
As a Development Team lead, I want to make sure that ephemeral environments don't stop prematurely when engineers are still trying to reach them.
The environment.action
CI attribute has 5 valid values:
- start (default)
- stop
- prepare
- access
- verify
We learned that prepare/access/verify
are identical in terms of behaviour. At the same time, there are various requests asking for different behaviour in different use cases. We want to provide the following setup:
require approval \ reset timer |
|
|
---|---|---|
|
verify |
access |
|
prepare |
Proposal
Reset the environment.auto_stop_in
timer when a job with environment.action: prepare | access
runs for the given environment.
