Zuul exposes its status via https://integration.wikimedia.org/zuul/status.json which can then be used by a JavaScript to add a status somewhere in Gerrit interface.

Change https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/60662/ made to Wikimedia Gerrit repository let us inject Javascript in Gerrit.

So we need:

• to write some javascript
• enhance Zuul status.json to accept queries for a given change

Needs Zuul status.json page to be updated: bug 47609

This is still a valid enhancement request, it is still blocked by bug 47609 that we can start implementing whenever Zuul is upgraded on Wikimedia installation. Once that is done, we could provide the status of change and add some Javascript magic in Gerrit interface to show the build progress.

Pending someone to implement the relevant code in Zuul status page/Gerrit customized javascript.

We can now fetch the status of an individual change using:

https://integration.wikimedia.org/zuul/status/change/170067,1

See attached output for an example.

That feature has been added upstream recently and deployed on production. Was Bug 47609 - [upstream] Zuul: status.json API should be able to filter by change

Also, since the creation of this ticket, we've built the visual dashboard:

https://integration.wikimedia.org/zuul/

Which allows one to see where it is in the queue and how long it'll take.

And in general these kind of delays usually relate to downtime. When things are up, the delay isn't worth building an infrastructure for so I'm wontfixing the request for communicating the delay back to Gerrit (or Phabricator). It'll be there when it's there.
