Github Actions notifications in Slack: Cancelled builds should be gray, not red

Open ross-nordstrom opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When you use concurrency in your builds, cancelled build notifications show a lot of (alarming) red in Slack. This causes "red fatigue" where we start to ignore REAL failures, because the team just gets used to the build channel having red.

Describe the solution you'd like The Github UI shows cancelled workflows as gray -- Slack notifications should do the same

Describe alternatives you've considered None that I can come up with

Additional context 🚨🚨🚨 AHHH A FAILED BUILD. JK, it's just cancelled 😉 image

Obviously this was a nice ignorable gray in the Github UI image

We are having the same problem. We use concurrency for our main app deploys, and the bright red notifications are very alarming.

At the least, a different emoji than the bright red "X" as the cancelled status would help.

This issue still kills me! I imagine it would be a pretty quick fix to change that border to grey instead?
