Making the status text more useful

[gr2m]

Instead of just showing in progress – Work in progress I’d like to show something like in progress – "WIP" found in title

Hey @gr2m, I was wondering what exactly you are looking for in this feature? Might take a crack at it if I have time.

Nice, thanks for offering help!

Right now, when WIP sets a status to pending, it’s shown like this in the list of statuses:

In progress — Work in progress

Which is quite repetitive.

The "Work in progress" part is actually the title of the check:

So instead I’d set the title to something more useful, like title contains "WIP". The check title is in two places:

app/lib/free/set-status.js

Line 15 in 8f55e47

title: 'Work in progress',

app/lib/pro/set-status.js

Line 22 in 8f55e47

title: 'Work in progress',

If I recall correctly, there might be a problem with emoji when setting a status description directly, I’m not sure if checks have the same problem, we’d need to test.

Do you know how to run the app locally for testing?

@gr2m Thanks for the detailed response!

So if I'm not mistaken this is what you're looking for correct? 😄

I tried setting an emoji and it appears you were right about it not working correctly.

Any recommendations here?

Thanks for looking into it!

Yes!

I tried setting an emoji and it appears you were right about it not working correctly.

Maybe try to use the markdown code instead and see if it works? E.g. in this case it’s :construction:: https://api.github.com/emojis

If that works, we can look into a way to replace emoji into their markdown counterpart.

No luck 😞
