This bug will involve creating a UI for backfilling in Treeherder and a pulse backend, and it will be for privileged users (sheriffs). On clicking the button, it will trigger jobs on revisions till the last known job(success or failed). It will be helpful for general manual back-filling, as well as back-filling talos jobs.

Hi, I would like your feedback for the UI of backfill button. It is in the pluginpanel, with the retry symbol and "BF" for backfill written beside it. It will be a sheriff only option for time being. Does it make sense?

Comment on attachment 8633834 [details] Backfill Icon Looks good. Is there some way to add a tooltip or more info in a help section?

Comment on attachment 8633834 [details] Backfill Icon Eh, I don't think it's a frequent enough thing to warrant space in that row of buttons. I'd say it could just be a text link in the "Job Details" pane.

Chris, yes it shows "Backfill this till last seen job" when we hover over it, as you can see in this pic.

Is this way in the UI better?

There is a "Backfill this job till last seen" link in the "Job Details" pane of Backfill Type 2 Button. Let me know if that is better to have.

Comment on attachment 8633843 [details] Backfill Type 2 I'll defer to the sheriffs on this.

How about this?

Ok. Cool!

Comment on attachment 8633852 [details] Backfill option #3 Thanks Wes for the prompt feedback!

:mdoglio, could you please review this patch? I am placing the link in the job-details-pane view, as advised by :KWeirso

:vaibhav1994, if this completes the bugfix, can you mark the bug fixed? Thanks :)

(Moving to a Treeherder component; it breaks the component watching workflow if Treeherder changes are made in non-Treeherder components :-))

There is still some work remaining to pass the pulse messages to listeners and act on it. So, when that will be in place, I will close this bug.

Let's use a separate bug, since that work is outside of treeherder, so a different bugzilla component. (Bugs are cheap :-) )

The dropdown that now lives on the button makes it require two clicks to retrigger a job, which is super annoying when doing a bunch of retriggers. :-( Can't we just add fifth button or something?

Bug 1207460 or bug 1207592. Alternatively, the 'R' keyboard shortcuts can retrigger a selected job many times really quickly.
