This is not according to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines. Instead, I suggest the menus should look more like this:

• Catlight
  • About Catlight
  • Preferences...
  • Add Connection...
  • Quit Catlight
• Help
  • View Help
  • Provide a Suggestion
  • Report a Problem

This is more in line with the HIG, but has one (major) caveat: It requires the "Add Connection..." menu item to open a dialogue to choose which CI Provider to add. That can be avoided by adding a "Connection" menu item in place of the "File" menu item mentioned in the HIG.

Most importantly, "Settings" is called "Preferences" and should reside in the  Application ("Catlight") menu item with "About" (not under "Help"). I also think the whole "Edit" menu as it is now isn't of much use, so it can be removed.

I have been looking at using CatLight in our organisation and you guys have a fantastic tool!

I have one rather significant issue however. Cancelled builds seem to show up as failed. This makes my catlight red most of the time as we tend to let our pull request builds cancel mid way through as we dont have them as a required pass to complete the PR.

I have read 4 years ago a post from you guys that this is related to the fact that TFS cancels after a timeout. I believe it now errors at timeout if that helps? In which case cancelled can now be labelled correctly.

Many thanks,

Gerard

Authentication needed. Error message: TF400813%3a+Resource+not+available+for+anonymous+access.+Client+authentication+required.

When I click the Configure link after it, it reconnects.

This is not desirable if I'm expecting notifications and can't tell that it is down unless I go to the dashboard.

This applies only to XAML builds. Other types of builds and other build systems should work fine.

 It keeps trying the same thing for a minute or two before giving up.

I've tried repairing some of the installed programs like .NET 4.5.2 and MVC 4 but to no avail. I also cleared everything in %APPDATA%\Catlight and reinstalled Catlight.

Any insight would be helpful, so I don't have to go looking for another program to keep me notified of my builds :)

However, catlight only shows the top-level folders.  I expected it to show the nested builds underneath.

Here is an example:

• OrgOne
  • Uno
    
    • production
  • Eins
    
    • master
    • v2.x
    • experimental
  • Singular
    
    • master
• OrgTwo
  • Duo
    • master
  • Zwei
    • master
  • Doubled
    • master
    • PR-10
    • PR-11
    • PR-12

Only the leaf nodes are actual buildable jobs. Everything else is a folder.  The Jobs that have names like `PR-XX` are github pull requests are expected to be transient (depending on the life of the pull request) do not show that anything is actually broken.

Ideally, CatLight would detect this folder layout (there are other ways to get a similar layout) and handle it gracefully:

1. The default branch (usually `master` but can be changed) is the most important.
2. Other branches are important too.
3. Pull requests aren't very important, especially if people working on it together to make it work.  I'm fine with tracking these via GitHub itself.

If you contact me directly, I can send you a docker container and some simple instructions for setting up a jenkins that connects to one or more github.com organizations for you to try this setup yourself. You'll need one or more repositories with a `Jenkinsfile` in it.

Ciao!

Connection problem

There was a problem accessing your account: Response status code does not indicate success: 302 (Found).

Please make sure that:

• Collection url is correct and accessible: https://xxxxxxx.visualstudio.com:443/defaultcollection
• User that is logged in this browser have access to https://xxxxxxx.visualstudio.com:443/defaultcollection

You can close this window and return to CatLight app.

If you need to use another Microsoft account, sign in to it in this browser before connecting.

The problem seems to be that https://xxxxxxx.visualstudio.com:443/defaultcollection now redirects to https://xxxxxxx.visualstudio.com/_home 

I am using CatLight for Windows v 1.8.7 beta.

Looking at fiddler most of the projects being polled are fine except 1 which is returning the 500. However I am not subscribing to any builds associated with that project so I wouldn't expect this one failing to bring down the rest.

I am unable to continue after SelectionBuilds screen.

- Server: on tfs 2015 sp1 on-premises

- Client: win10 updated (11/16).

- Catlight: v2.1.3 Beta

Process:

=> I go the config connection screen.

=> I access to all my projects and builds in the SelectionBuilds screen.

=> I select 0 or n projects.

=> Any case after, i have got error screen with: Offline "index was outside the bounds of the array"

I try the same action on an win8 with same user and connection string and it's work...

Thanks by advance.

I am using CatLight on Windows 10 connected to TFS online. After a windows sleep catlight showed the status of TFS from 10 hours ago (i.e. before the sleep) and would not refresh. There was no sign or error, nothing. A manual refresh would have helped though ;)

Thanks and miaow for the nice tool!!!

At the moment, CatLight cannot connect to teamcity if only NTLM is used.
GitExtensions is having the same Issue currently.
To workaround this issue it's possible to get an authentication cookie when ntlmlogin.html page is browsed.
This authentication cookie can than be passed for further rest calls.

a powsershell sample can be found in the answer from mclayton on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11020066/log-onto-teamcity-server-using-rest-api-without-passing-credentials-in-the-url

Br, Daniel

Using Windows 10. CatLight v 2.3.1

We support Jenkins versions starting from 1.644 (released in early 2016) and 2.x 

Older version of Jenkins have bugs in the API that can result in server errors. If you have old version, consider upgrading your server.

When running catlight i get a blank screen and an error that localweb has crashed
running localweb from terminal i get the following logs

Initializing logging. path: /Applications/Catlight.app/Contents/Resources/LocalWeb/wwwroot
OS: 'Mac'
AppData path: '/Users/oranshus'
Initialized logging.
Hosting environment: Production
Content root path: /Applications/Catlight.app/Contents/Resources/LocalWeb

Application started. Press Ctrl+C to shut down.

1. A person can "hang" as "investigating" on other persons' Catlight instance, while the person in question has a Catlight instance that says he/she is not currently investigating anything. - this one is critical, because we have errors that aren't looked into for a long while, until somebody asks the person why he/she hasn't fixed the error yet...!
2. "Investigating" isn't cleared after a green build, but must instead manually be cleared. This also leads to wrong behavior, because if a build breaks, a person investigates, fixes, build goes green, and another then breaks it shortly thereafter, the first person is still listed as "investigating", but no longer looking into the issue.

I get the above error message, when trying to click "Settings" on the TFS-server. I am using version 2.15.3

since today I get the following error message "Invalid URI: The Uri scheme is too long.". And tried a little bit and found out that is because I choosed too many build definitions. If I deselect some of the definitions, everything works fine.

Cheers

Jan
