Link from the "add repos" page to the repo

[yaleman]

When I add/enable a new repository, the first thing I want to do from https://coveralls.io/repos/new is go to the repository to grab the token.. can you please add a link to the repo from the name of the repo (ie, user/repo) ... to https://coveralls.io/provider/user/repo ?

It's always jarring to have to go navigate to https://coveralls.io/repos and then find the new repository, and would save time.

Thanks!

Hi @yaleman. So that is exactly how that is supposed to work. Once you add a repo from the Add Repos Page (https://coveralls.io/repos/new) it should display an initial button labeled START UPLOADING COVERAGE that takes you to the New Repo / Repo Start Page for that exact purpose. Your COVERALLS REPO TOKEN is displayed prominently on that start page.

Unfortunately, I just confirmed there's a bug in that workflow.

But, until we fix it, there is a workaround:

On the Add Repos Page, after toggling your repo(s) ON, simply reload the page. The START UPLOADING COVERAGE button should then appear for any/all repos you've just added. (That way you won't have to construct the URL yourself.)

BTW, there are two versions of that CTA button. Before you have any builds for a repo, it displays as START UPLOADING COVERAGE, but once you have some builds, it displays as DETAILS. Both take you to the Repo Page, but START UPLOADING COVERAGE indicates the page will be in the New Repo / Repo Start state.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Hope that helps.

No worries, glad it's a bug and not an intentional design decision :) It'd be nice if the names were links either way 😄
