The new version of CatLight can monitor and show desktop notifications for GitHub actions, issues, and pull requests.

• Get reminders about pending GitHub PRs and notify others that you are reviewing a PR with one click.
• See the progress and ETA for your GitHub Actions workflows and jobs. Notify your team that you are investigating a broken GitHub Action job.
• Get a prioritized list of your issues, alongside other action items for your project. See desktop notifications about the new GitHub issues.

Available in CatLight 3.0.19+ . Download it from https://catlight.io/downloads 

Usually, when connecting to GitHub, you can use an option to "Sign in online", and CatLight will request all necessary permissions. 

If you are connecting to GitHub Enterprise, or online sign-in does not work for you, use a token to authenticate.

To get a token from GitHub, open the token page:

1. Go to GitHub
2. Click on your profile, then on "Settings"
3. Go to the "Developer settings" tab
4. Click on "Personal access tokens", then "Tokens (classic)"
5. Click on Generate new token
6. Set expiration to "No expiration" to ensure that the token works indefinitely. You specify another value if needed.
7. Select the

In the new version, we add extra context to tooltips. Hover over the build square to see who started it and when. Release squares tooltips will show the detailed status of each environment. Investigation and review icons will also show detailed information about people working on the item.

These features are available in v3.0.17+ https://catlight.io/downloads 

In CatLight v3 preview 2 we focus on real-time notifications about work progress for teams.

You can now let your teammates know that you are reviewing a PR, or actively working on a specific task:

Your teammates will get a toast notification. They can also see that you are working on a PR or a task on their watch list.

This feature is available in CatLight 3.0.14+, you can download it from https://catlight.io/downloads 

To troubleshoot complex issues, our support team might need extended application logs.

Here is how you can collect them:

1. Go to edit menu/settings/advanced and check "Enable extended logging". This will turn on the logging of requests and responses from the server. Sensitive data will be masked.
2. Repeat the action that you had trouble with (e.g. connecting to a new server).
3. Put the log folder into an archive and attach this archive to a private support ticket. Location of the log folder:
   • Windows: %AppData%\CatLight\logs
   • MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Catlight/logs
   • Linux: ~/.config/Catlight/Logs

This can happen for some CI builds that are running in non-batch mode. Due to a bug in Azure DevOps that incorrectly reports the user that triggered the build.

As a workaround, you can switch to batch mode

In Azure DevOps, go to edit pipeline -> triggers , and check the "Batch changes while a build is in progress". 

This happens because Azure DevOps incorrectly reports the triggered user for the build in continuous integration mode when batching is disabled.

Workaround:

In Azure DevOps, go to edit pipeline -> triggers , and check the "Batch changes while a build is in progress". 

I am using Azure Devops. Is there a way of filtering out the pull requests that I have approved (or Approved with suggestions).

The main goal would be to have a "green" status icon when I have approved a pull request I am assigned on, instead of the status icon remaining blue until the PR is completed ?

Pull requests that I have rejected or "waiting for author", I would like them to stay in my action list.

- by Alain Bolduc

New version fixes several issues that can occur for certain Azure DevOps users:

• Problems with using PAT token for authentication.
• Problems with multiple Azure DevOps accounts.
• The app shows only pull requests assigned to the team, and not the pull requests assigned to current user.

They were caused by the same underlying issues of identifying the current Azure DevOps user, which should now be resolved.

We also corrected the list of necessary permissions that users need to use PAT tokens.

Those changes are also present in V3 Beta.

I am evaluating CatLight.  I work on a team of about 200 developers, and the noise from the build notifications is just incredible.

I'd like to configure CatLight so that it shows notifications only for my builds.  I'd also like to filter the dashboard to show only builds triggered for me.  Are these things possible?

I understand focus mode will only show when I personally break the build, but I'd also like to know when my builds are green.

We're excited to announce CatLight v3 preview! It includes re-designed dashboards with action and watch lists, and support for multiple dashboards that you can share.

New dashboard with action center

The new dashboard is split into two groups - the action list and the watch list. The action list shows alerts and action items that are sorted by priority, so you can handle them from top to bottom. It includes broken build and release pipelines, incoming pull requests, and work items. You can define your own priority rules in settings. The action list will not show any

The new dashboard is split into two groups - the action list and the watch list. The action list shows alerts and action items that are sorted by priority, so you can handle them from top to bottom. It includes broken build and release pipelines, incoming pull requests, and work items. You can define your own priority rules in settings. The action list will not show any items that are in a good state and don't need your attention. Use a watch list to keep track of things that you care about, but which are not actionable at the moment. By default, it includes

This article applies to CatLight V3. Before configuring the settings, you can learn more about how Action Center works in CatLight V3.

On the dashboard, click on settings on any of the panels to configure item groups and priority rules.

Action list settings

Use the item groups section, to select specific things that you want to monitor (build and release pipelines, pull requests for repositories, work items). Then you can create priority rules that will apply additional filters to the item group. The dashboard panel will display items that match the rules.

Priority rule settings:

Sometimes you might need to change the team that you are currently on. For example, if your current team does not have an active subscription, and you want to join the one that has.

To change the team:

1. In the CatLight app, click on the "Team" button, then on "Leave team".
2. Click on "Enable collaboration" button on the dashboard and select the new team to join. If you don't see the right team on the list, ask the team admin to add you to the team at https://service.catlight.io 

I have tried 3 times today to login and I get to the page that says an email has been sent with a link and I never receive the email.

Hallo,

wir haben eine Email über [email protected] erhalten mit der Aufforderung USD 299 zu bezahlen. Wir sind dem Link in der Email gefolgt, finden aber auf der Website keine Billing-Informationen. Wir nutzen CatLight schon seit sicher einem Jahr nicht mehr und würde gerne dieses Konto löschen, da dies über ihre web-Plattform nicht möglich ist. Freundlche Grüsse, Thomas Huber

Windows 11 introduced "Focus assist" feature that can hide notifications from apps.

If you don't get any toast notifications from CatLight, try disabling it by searching for "Focus assist" in the Windows search menu, and then turning it off.

If you have "Priority only" option selected, you can click on "Customize priority list", and add CatLight app to it.
