build status #1266

sriniefi ·
Hi Robin,
Is it possible to set a custom state to a build, like recommending a build, we would like to have some other states "APPROVED" and "REJECTED".
Right now dev team has a way (recommend) a build to QA, but there is no way QA team can "APPROVE" or "REJECT" a build.
in QB3, "Edit Description" can be used to have some comments, but it would be great if can set additional states to a build.

Thanks,
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,

QB currently does not support customized statuses. However this workflow can be achieved with build promotions. For example, you may define two child configurations: approved and rejected. And then define two promotions:
1. promotion named "approve" to promote build into "approved" configuration
2. promotion named "reject" to promote build into "rejected" configuration

You may have new promoted build has the same version as original build following this tutorial:
http://wiki.pmease.com/display/QB31/Use ... ote+Builds

Compared to additional build statuses, the build promotion approach has the advantage of executing arbitrary actions when an action is performed, for example you may notify interesting parties if a build is approved or rejected.

Hope this helps.
Robin
