The most common use case for a one click loaner is likely to debug a failing job. However, when a user clicks on one of these jobs in treeherder, they get the failure tab, which just shows a list of failure lines and bug suggestions. I think we ought to detect if reproducing a job on a one-click loaner is possible for these jobs, and pop up a prominent and informative button that lets the user go straight to the one-click loaner page from the failure tab. [ possibly not too prominent, as sheriffs still need the information in the failure summary for other reasons ] We shouldn't do this before the basics of one click loaners are in place, as we don't want to heavily advertise a feature that won't work well "out of the box".

I think I may have already suggested this and someone said it was a bad idea, but now I can't remember.. so I'm going to suggest it again :). But what if one-click-loaner was added to the 'retrigger dropdown', along side retrigger and backfill? After all a one-click-loaner is essentially just retriggering the task with TASKCLUSTER_INTERACTIVE set. I think the argument against doing this was that the retrigger button shouldn't be a dropdown in the first place. I agree with that, but as long as it is, it seems like a decent place to put it. If there is already a timeline to remove that dropdown however, then yeah, this suggestion makes no sense.

+1 to the idea

I'm going to implement something like :ahal's idea here

Comment on attachment 8822731 [details] [treeherder] wlach:1285007 > mozilla:master There's a screenshot of the way the functionality works in the pull request. I'm pretty happy with how this came out, and it gives us space to expose more taskcluster-specific options (e.g. bug 1322433) in the future.

Comment on attachment 8822731 [details] [treeherder] wlach:1285007 > mozilla:master r+ with my comments added to the PR on possible consistency improvements. I assume we are ok with the following also: o Backfill requires two clicks to invoke, w/recent changes it needed only one o Inspect Task and One Click Loaner are now in two places

Commit pushed to master at https://github.com/mozilla/treeherder https://github.com/mozilla/treeherder/commit/8614ecfec4deb8842659cce44f85c5bcbdfed55d Bug 1285007 - Make Taskcluster options more discoverable (#2052) Create an per-job "extras" job button in Treeherder and put "backfill" and the current set of taskcluster options (one click loaner, inspect task) in there, if they exist.

Let's call this fixed.
