Remove a Repository from Travis

[joshk]

Pro customers, and Org users, request for us to remove repos from Travis time to time.

It would be good to add, under the cog, 'Archive'.

This would hide the repository until another build request comes through. We can also add to the service hook list, a marker to say it has been archived, and a button to unarchive.

👍 I moved a repo from my personal account to an org, and would like to remove the personal one from Travis.

[steveyken]

👍 I have a build that failed and has since been removed from github... would be good to remove build status as well as the "My travis chrome bar" reports as failed. Perhaps projects that are removed from github could be automatically hidden until another build comes in?

[sarahhodne]

From #1181:

It would be nice, if i delete a repo, that it will be also completely deleted from Travis.

Maybe we should auto-archive when we detect that a repository no longer exists on GitHub?

[steveyken]

sounds good to me! 👍

[giodamelio]

I too would like this functionality 👍

[mraxilus]

👍 agreed

👍 This would be very handy

I think it should be auto-archived when it is disabled under “accounts”.

[sarahhodne]

@nomeata Good suggestion. We have considered this, and I think the plan is to implement something similar to this, where we only display "active" repositories by default.

[J7mbo]

👍 From a UX perspective, this seems like a no-brainer. I was searching for a while wondering "they can't have left this out, could they?". Looking forward to this being implemented.

If delete repository on GitHub and then recreate (push from local) there will be 2 same repos (when logged in) on https://travis-ci.org/profile (visually identical) and https://travis-ci.org/ (with different build history). It will be greate to have opportunity to hide/remove/archive deleted ones.

[natesholland]

Are there any plans to make this happen? I would love to see it implemented.

[joshk]

There are plans, but we are likely to wait until the UI changes we have in the works. I don't have an ETA to share at the moment sorry.

I just found that the travis job for the old duplicate github repository was masking the new one, because they had the same url. This meant that the badge was pointing to the old build.

As a workaround, I renamed my github repository.

[GrahamCampbell]

You know you can contact support and ask nicely for them to remove data from travis if you really need to. It's a better solution to renaming repos.

[felipec]

I don't understand, there's already a configuration for that in https://travis-ci.org/profile; if I turn it OFF, why am I still seeing it in "My Repositories".

I've even delete the repository from GitHub, it's still there.

Why?

[BanzaiMan]

@felipec "OFF" means that builds are off.

[felipec]

@felipec "OFF" means that builds are off.

Of course, but any normal person would think of OFF/ON as symmetrical operations, but in this case if I turn a repository ON, the builds will start, and I will never ever be able to remove it, not even with OFF.

ON turns A and B on, and OFF only turns B off. Very intuitive.

[sarahhodne]

We have considered hiding a repository from the sidebar when turning the repository "off" in the repository list. I think the main reason we don't do that right now was because that field in the database wasn't always up to date or sometimes led to confusing behaviour?

[felipec]

Even if the field is not up-to-date, and the user scratches his head as to why the repository is not there, he could simply go to the list of the repositories, see that it's off, and turn it on.

Besides, how useful is it to have a repository listed that is not being tested anyway (according to the database).

[roidrage]

Could we start by adding a deleted_at field to repositories and start checking that in the relevant queries?

[joshk]

A lot of our queries for finding repos to show look at the slug but not the permissions. If a repo is removed from GitHub then we remove the permission records on Travis, thus, if we check permission records correctly we should be able to improve what we show to users.

[roidrage]

Sure, but we could enhance these queries to look for this flag as well, no? I think both approaches have merit, ideally, they'd be combined.

[joshk]

Sure, was not ruling out the deleted_at addition at all. I think combining both would be great.

I have the same problem like @roll

If delete repository on GitHub and then recreate (push from local) there will be 2 same repos (when logged in) on https://travis-ci.org/profile (visually identical) and https://travis-ci.org/ (with different build history). It will be greate to have opportunity to hide/remove/archive deleted ones.

My new recreated project is failing because the old, on github removed, project was failing on the last build. It will be nice to remove repos on travis.

[anikalindtner]

hej @sebastianbrosch I've looked into your issue and it should be resolved :) Let me know, if you still are having problems!

[sebastianbrosch]

thx @anikalindtner great and fast support. The build status image shows failing but the last build (rebuild over travis-ci) was successfully. I will commit and push on weekend and look if the image will be changed.

[android-leha]

I have problem with repository count in left panel after removing.

[ekryski]

Hey @anikalindtner. I also have the same issue as @sebastianbrosch for the report PetroFeed/roach. We have duplicate build projects in Travis.

[rocket-js]

I've got the same issue as @android-leha

[horsik]

I'm also affected by the issue @android-leha described

[jdanbrown]

+1 for adding a way to remove repos from the "My Repositories" list.

[egeste]

+1

[endyjasmi]

+1

[denis-sokolov]

Can somebody please lock this issue to prevent all these +1s and "me-toos"?
@henrikhodne, @BanzaiMan, please.

[MariadeAnton]

There's a possible workaround:

• Create a repo named the same way in GitHub
• Sync in Travis CI without enabling it
• Delete it again in GitHub
