Align actions status icons and texts with GitHub by silverwind · Pull Request #37206 · go-gitea/gitea

silverwind · 2026-04-14T01:26:17Z

Action workflows have 8 statuses but the UI only showed 5 (from the commit status api). The three action statuses were always static yellow dot. Align all 8 to GitHub as closely as possible:

waiting — octicon-circle (hollow circle), gray
blocked — octicon-blocked (slashed circle), yellow
running — gitea-running (rotating spinner), yellow
cancelled — octicon-stop (gray), was octicon-x (red)

Descriptions also aligned with GitHub:

"Has started running" → "In progress"
"Has been cancelled" → "Cancelled after {dur}"
"Has been skipped" → "Skipped"

Fixes: #32228

This PR was written with the help of Claude Opus 4.7.

The PR merge-box tooltip collapsed Actions waiting/blocked/running into a single yellow-dot icon because `CommitStatus.State` maps all three to `CommitStatusPending` and the `createCommitStatus` dedup is keyed only on `State`. Transitions among the three also left the stored `Description` frozen at whichever was written first. Fix by enriching the loaded `CommitStatus` rows with the live `ActionRunJob.Status`: - Add transient `CommitStatus.ActionStatus actions_model.Status` (xorm:"-") - Add `LoadActionStatuses` enricher (one batched IN query) - `GetDescription` method overrides `.Description` for waiting/blocked/running - Call the enricher at every CommitStatus tooltip render site (merge box, PR list, commit list, branch list, release list, Diff view, file viewer) - External CI statuses don't set an Actions TargetURL, so `ActionStatus` stays zero and the template falls through to the existing `repo/commit_status` icons — no external-vs-Actions branch needed - `templates/repo/icons/action_status.tmpl` consolidated with a `fill` param: `true` for filled-circle icons (Actions UI / runs list), omitted for bare icons matching `repo/commit_status` (merge box) - Delete `templates/repo/actions/status.tmpl`; sole caller inlines the tooltip span Co-Authored-By: Claude (Opus 4.6) <[email protected]>

Matches the ongoing-state phrasing in both createCommitStatus (stored value) and GetDescription (live override). Co-Authored-By: Claude (Opus 4.6) <[email protected]>

AI doesn't know how to make the code maintainable.

There are a lot of "LoadActionStatuses" calls now.

ActionStatus should not be added to the model. Only prepare it as a separate template value or function when it is needed.

wxiaoguang

And the design is completely wrong.

Commit status can come from ~~woodpecker~~ (update: the IsUnknown branch handles it), or by API (e.g.: commit status is changed by API call from "warning" to "success"). If the commit status is "success", then it must be displayed as "success", no matter what Actions status is.

Commit status can come from woodpecker (update: the IsUnknown branch handles it), or by API (e.g.: commit status is changed by API call from "warning" to "success"). If the commit status is "success", then it must be displayed as "success", no matter what Actions status is.

The commit status renders like before, same 5 statuses, completely unaffected. Only actions sets the additional statuses added via LoadActionStatuses.

I agree the littering of LoadActionStatuses is not ideal, maybe there is a common place to do it. I'm working under the restriction that not all places in the UI should show action status, e.g. if the icon is for a commit, only show commit status, only if it's for action workflows, show the enriched action status with the 8 states.

I think add some new frature like github checks which provide more status and more params than commit status is a better solution.

silverwind · 2026-04-16T10:38:23Z

I think add some new frature like github checks which provide more status and more params than commit status is a better solution.

Yes, GitHub distinguishes between:

commit status (5 statuses, same as gitea)
check_runs (at least 8 statuses)

Not sure if a full check_runs implementation is warranted currently. My goal is to just get the actions-specific statuses to render correctly on Gitea.

Reworks the previous attempt: instead of mutating git_model.CommitStatus.ActionStatus from a LoadActionStatuses helper called at every status-loading site, build a side map services/actions.CommitStatusActionInfo (CommitStatus.ID → live ActionRunJob status) and stash it in ctx.Data for templates to read via ctx.RootData. The model no longer imports actions_model. Only pending CommitStatus rows backed by Gitea Actions are enriched — non-pending state from any CI source (Woodpecker, API-set, …) is trusted as-is, addressing the "if commit status is success it must display as success" review note. Adds PrepareCommitStatusesUI / PrepareCommitStatusesMapUI helpers that fold the existing CanRead(unit.TypeActions) → HideActionsURL pattern together with the new enrichment so each route's status-loading site reduces to one call. Mirrors the established CommitStatusesHideActionsURL precedent. Co-Authored-By: Claude (Opus 4.7) <[email protected]>

Sibling of action_status; both render a single status icon. Co-Authored-By: Claude (Opus 4.7) <[email protected]>

silverwind · 2026-04-20T07:22:51Z

Also, "cancelled" has a wrong "X" icon, not matching GitHub.

Gitea:

GitHub:

Will fix that icon here as well and likely adjust the text. Ideally do a full pass over all statuses for correct icon and text.

- Cancelled jobs now render with octicon-stop (gray) instead of octicon-x (red). Achieved by broadening CommitStatusActionInfo to enrich all Gitea Actions rows, not just pending ones. - Align descriptions with GitHub: "Cancelled after {dur}", "Skipped". - PrepareCommitStatusesUI now enriches before hiding URLs so users without Actions read permission still see correct icons, and merges into ctx.Data across calls so multi-panel pages (PR view) render both panels correctly. - Convert missed HideActionsURL sites in repo.go and issue_view.go to PrepareCommitStatusesUI; switch branch.go to the Map variant. - Align `fill` default between Go template and Vue component (both default false); set explicitly at the filled callers. - Add integration test covering all 8 action statuses end-to-end.

PrepareCommitStatusesUI now only enriches CommitStatusActionInfo; each callsite restores the original CanRead + CommitStatusesHideActionsURL block so the diff against main stays additive. Co-Authored-By: Claude (Opus 4.7) <[email protected]>

Extends TestActionsCommitStatusRunning with a commits-list page render to confirm status.tmpl inside .tippy-target receives the live icon and description. Every page using repo/commit_statuses.tmpl embeds this tooltip, so coverage was previously only on the PR merge box. Co-Authored-By: Claude (Opus 4.7) <[email protected]>

PrepareCommitStatusesUI / PrepareCommitStatusesMapUI required every handler that loaded commit statuses to wire the enrichment into ctx.Data. Replaced with a MiscUtils.ActionsCommitStatusInfo method on the template context: repo/pulls/status.tmpl (rendered both in the PR merge box and inside every repo/commit_statuses.tmpl tippy tooltip) resolves the live ActionRunJob.Status itself. CommitStatusActionInfo + GetCommitStatusActionInfo move to models/git so the template helper lives in modules/templates without depending on services/*. All 10 handler callsites and their actions_service imports disappear. Verified by TestActionsCommitStatusRunning (tooltip) and TestActionsCommitStatusIcons (merge box). Co-Authored-By: Claude (Opus 4.7) <[email protected]>

- Relocate CommitStatusActionInfo + GetCommitStatusActionInfo from models/git (where it landed only to dodge an import cycle) to modules/actions/commitstatusinfo. That package joins models/git and models/actions and is where a reader looking for Actions-specific commit-status logic would expect to find it. - Replace MiscUtils.ActionsCommitStatusInfo (which broke MiscUtils's implicit "pure, cheap" contract) with a dedicated ActionsUtils template type. Template helpers grouped by concern mirror the existing RenderUtils / AvatarUtils / MiscUtils pattern, and a separate namespace makes "this one touches the DB" explicit. Template call is now `ctx.ActionsUtils.CommitStatusInfo .CommitStatuses`. Co-Authored-By: Claude (Opus 4.7) <[email protected]>

- Rename subpackage commitstatusinfo -> statusinfo; types drop the redundant prefix (ActionInfo, GetActionInfo) so callers read as statusinfo.GetActionInfo instead of the previous stutter. - Note the status.Repo side-effect in GetActionInfo's doc: ParseGiteaActionsTargetURL needs Repo loaded, and the RepoID cache avoids per-row lookups. - Move the $actionInfo binding inside {{if .CommitStatus}} so pages without a status panel skip the DB query entirely. Co-Authored-By: Claude (Opus 4.7) <[email protected]>

modules/actions/artifacts.go held HTTP-response orchestration (ctx.Redirect, httplib.ServeUserContentByFile) via *services/context.Base, which is a reverse-layer import from modules/ into services/. Move the whole file verbatim into services/actions next to the rest of the action service code. Callers (three router files) swap the import target; no behavior change. This also unblocks modules/actions from being imported by code higher in the layer stack without cycling through services/context. Co-Authored-By: Claude (Opus 4.7) <[email protected]>

modules/actions/statusinfo only existed to dodge the modules/actions -> services/context leak from artifacts.go. With that file moved, the subpackage is unneeded. Rename types to avoid stutter in their new home: statusinfo.ActionInfo -> actions.CommitStatusInfo and statusinfo.GetActionInfo -> actions.GetCommitStatusInfo. Also tighten doc on util_actions.go's ActionsUtils (drop drift-prone cross-file comparison and a duplicated rationale on the one-line wrapper method).

ActionInfo is not needed.
