Checkupdatesbot build failed notification in F-Droid Build Status app

1

Is it possible to add a notification / in app info about failing / passing CI in auto updates made by the checkupdates bot? This would help developers react faster to failed CI jobs and minimize delays in updates. Maybe this is already in the app and I just can’t find it? I’m not referring to passing the fdroid server build, but the one happening in gitlab CI.

EDIT: @Licaon_Kter is very helpful with notifying about this, I just think this being done automatically could save a lot of his valuable time :slight_smile:

@gwitko do you mean monitoring these jobs?

Yes, so I can for example see if update failed to be merged in automatically.

Hmm, that would be a lot of downloading and parsing of log files from gitlab. I don’t know if this would be appropriate for an android app. And if gitlab is fine with the regular “scraping”.

I think better would be if the pipeline jobs could publish a resultfile somewhere.

Or it is something for the Fdroid Monitoring subproject:

I’ve opened a MR to collect the checkupdate failures at the end of the Gitlab Pipeline:

Let’s see if this is an acceptable approach.
