Description Gurhan Ozen 2010-08-23 18:45:32 UTC

Description of problem:
When looking at the recipes on beaker webui, the metadata for the recipes are not easily visible. For example:

https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/recipes/24836

vs. 

https://rhts.redhat.com/cgi-bin/rhts/recipes.cgi?id=441055

It is possible to see user-submitted ones by cloning the job and looking at the xml but that's an extra step and is not as concise.

Is it possible to see this info in a straightforward way like it was in rhts webui? 

I am asking for this because in my case, the guestargs for virtual machines are stored there, which makes it harder to debug virtualization jobs, especially if there are multiple recipesets in the job. In a more general way though, this also might make it harder to see what went wrong with a particular failing/aborting job, if some of that info is needed (such as certain hostrequires/distrorequires bits)

Ironically, in all the UI improvements work we have been doing on the recipe page, the one piece of recipe metadata we forgot to include is exactly what is requested in comment 0 -- guestname and guestargs. We should remedy that, since we have managed to display all the other bits and pieces of metadata/settings that have been missing from the recipe page all these years.

Comment 5 Dan Callaghan 2016-04-28 05:28:06 UTC

I think we should do this for 23.0 because it seems like kind of a glaring omission, in light of the fact that we have added every *other* missing piece of info to that page now.

For guest recipes, the recipe summary box will include:

Guest recipe hosted by R:123.

with a link to the host recipe, and the Settings pane of the Installation tab will also show the guest name and guest args used when installing the guest.

Beaker 23.0 has been released.
