Cancelled builds show as completed successfully in PPA package overview

[Micah Gersten]

The builds themselves show as failed but the overview shows a green checkmark.

Can you post specific URLs for reference please?

Certainly guys, I'm the one who actually noticed this bug while I was waiting and sorting out some builds in my local PPA on launchpad - I had some builds which failed, I changed the settings for my build deps, and clicked to retry, but was told in kubuntu-devel's IRC channel that it would not make a difference, so rather than waste time, I cancelled the builds.

When I went to view the package details in my PPA, I saw a green checkmark indicating the builds had completed successfully, but clicking the little arrow on the far left of that row (to produce the dropdown) shows both packages failed. The link to my PPA is here, into the packages area.

Hopefully you can fix this, since the packages clearly shouldn't show as built (or give an indication that they have been) if they've been cancelled.

Thanks

I suspect this is 'well cancelled is not an error' and thus invalid, but IMBW.

Cancelled may not be an error, lifeless, but if the build is cancelled, it should not show that it completed successfully - maybe we need a third icon to indicate that a build was terminated rather than suffered an error. Maybe (as wikipedia use), a checkmark for completed, an X for failed, and a ! if the user intervened or terminated the build prior to completion.

Well, one thing to think about is that the build status of successful implies that there exists a build of the package... which there does not.
