Issue idea came from: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/24845#note_23524320
to quote @godfat
In my mind, each pipeline should act like a merge request. Well, not really because we don't need to assign pipeline, or do we? I imagine that the pusher would be the pipeline author, and people could comment and subscribe to a pipeline, making them participants. This would be useful especially commenting on the job console log.
Usecase
- Easily point out job failures and be able to discuss them.
Problem
Currently its not possible to comment inline in the job log to discuss failures in more detail.
Proposal
- Be able to comment inside of a job log, like we currently do in a code diff.
Quick mockup:
Follow up:
Have these comments show up as conversations inside the Pipeline, commit and Merge Request view, similar as we do now so if you comment on a committed file and it shows up as a discussion on the MR discussion.
Value
- Easy discussion on job failures.
- Consistent discussions across object views.
