Log page builds

adelevie opened this issue 10 years ago · comments

One thing that always frustrated me with GitHub Pages was its opaqueness. You'd have no idea if a build actually started, and refreshing the page constantly was the only way to see if it was working. Eventually GitHub added descriptive email notifications for build failures.

I think we should either mimic that email feature or display somewhere the logs and build status for each site on pages.18f.gov.

Shouldn't be too hard to do. What do you think about, as a first approximation, creating https://pages.18f.gov/REPO-NAME/build.log files?

I think that's a solid idea and should get us most of the way there. I guess anything more robust would require storing build records in a database?

I doubt a database'll be required, but I'm almost ready to shoot you a PR for the original idea. ;-)
