This would be an easy improvement if it would show the time automatically instead of the need to refresh the page.
Version 2.332.1
We already have the time when the build started. The information how long ago the build started is only of limited help I think. Most of the time it is only interesting to me when the build started.
It should update progress dynamically, without the need to reload the page.
The progressbar itself is updated as long as the build is running.
Your Jenkins version is also 2 years old.
I’m using jenkins 2.440.2 (I know newer version exists, but still) and I’m having the same issue of the build status page not updating automatically, the progress bar not moving along with the build, etc.
In current LTS (2.452.1) the progress bar refreshes properly and the build icon is updated on the build page once the build finished. What is not updated is the info how long ago the build started.
I’m having similar problems to the OP.
Jenkins 2.464
The right side of the dashboard does not auto update. When builds are started, the progress bar on the left comes and goes and builds are happening. But the last completed/last failed times on the right are not updated until I manually refresh.
Thus this doesn’t work well for a “public” dashboard for our devs.
I am not using a HTTPS certificate right now. Could that be the problem?
Currently there is no auto refresh for the dashboard as a whole. Only the widgets on the left have this feature right now.
In the past there was an auto refresh for the whole page done via the meta tags in html but this was removed long time ago.
