    Why is tray icon yellow when all builds are passing?

    catlight · 0 · Posted

    Since 1.5.4, CatLight will show yellow icon if some of the connections need configuration. 

    Typically, connection will need configuration when server no longer accepts you credentials or authentication token expires.

    To resolve this, you can either configure or remove connection.

    TFS 15 preview support

    Jesse Houwing · 1 · Last reply by catlight

    TFS 15 Preview has just been released and catlight is unable to authenticate against it. I suppose this is due to changes in the REST API, now accepting Bearer tokens as well as NTLM authentication.

    How to flag the specific user that broke the build

    Martin · 3 · Last reply by catlight

    Hi,

    I'm just trying catlight with jenkins p4 plugin. Seems lightweight and very easy to get going.

    As things stand I can see "somebody broke the build a few secs ago".

    Is there a way to configure to attach a real userid?

    Thanks!

    I use many different VSTS accounts based on what client I'm currently working with? Do you support multiple VSTS accounts?

    Question on your VSTS integration

    Abhijeet · 1 · Last reply by catlight

    Hi,

    I am a developer working in VSTS for Microsoft. In CatLight's integration with VSTS, does it make a call to the following REST API to get a list of a user's VSTS accounts?

    https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/integrate/api/shared/accounts

    And if so, which fields do you consume? I am assuming just the AccountUri field or both AccountUri and AccountName.

     

    Also, I was going through CatLight's initial start experience, and it seemed to me that you are able to figure out the VSTS account that I am currently signed into, but it's not clear to me how you pick one particular account since my user

    Is the pipeline name in CatLight customizable - e.g. to include repo name?

    Jimmy Li · 1 · Last reply by catlight

    We are in the middle of migrating from Azure DevOps to GitHub. It was great timing that CatLight now supports GitHub. Thanks! One issue we are facing is that in CatLight, we cannot tell what repo the pipeline belongs to. Most of the workflows we have in GitHub Actions are simplified - e.g. build, deploy-to-dev, deploy-to-prod, etc.. When browsing in GitHub Actions, this is not an issue because we are looking at the workflows with the repo's context. However, when looking this at CatLight, we see a bunch of "build" failure and there's no way to know which repo it

    Why is setup so big?

    catlight · 0 · Posted

    Catlight itself is a small app. It it is built on Electron and .Net Core frameworks. These frameworks are quite large and are included into setup file, so you don't have to download and install anything separately.

    How can I add CatLight to Windows startup?

    Keith · 3 · Last reply by catlight

    CatLight was not installed to my Start Menu's Startup folder. How can I add it there so that CatLight starts when Windows starts but only in the system tray, without opening the CatLight window? Is there a command line argument to do this?

    We have wpad for automatic proxy configuration in use. Catlight gives a connection timeout error while starting and doesn't even allow us to use on-prem TFS. (menu grayed out)

    Paid version

    Graham Hobson · 1 · Last reply by catlight

    There is a paid version due towards the end of this year.

    1. Can you tell me what constitutes a big enough development team to be deemed required to pay.

    2. If a company is categorized as 'bigger' and has downloaded CatLight for use in its team, what will happen to that software. Will it just be come unsupported and disallowed from updates/fixes?

    Thanks
