Open-Sourcing TestGrid Frontend

[rajaskakodkar]

Currently, the backend of TestGrid is open-sourced, however, the frontend is not yet open-sourced.

Open-Sourcing of Testgrid Frontend would help in provisioning a standalone TestGrid cluster without the reference of testgrid.k8s.io. This may also help in resolving issues like #489 (comment) where the web app cannot render S3 data. Testgrid has a hard requirement that Prow JobLogs should be stored only in GCS bucket.

Currently, the TestGrid Frontend can be used as a service to render it on testgrid.k8s.io/r/bucket-name. However, this requires explicit read access to be provided for the service account [email protected] to the testgrid bucket config.

Previously, there have been discussions on this topic, linking them here for context kubernetes/test-infra#10409.

What needs to be done for open-sourcing of TestGrid Frontend? Is there any help required?

The frontend of TestGrid, fundamentally, displays a grid to users. It would probably be easier, and also improved, if it were rewritten from that guideline instead.

Hey @chases2
I'm interested in this project for LFX mentorship. Any pre-requisite tasks to be performed for this issue?
Thanks

Hi @chases2 ,I am Aditya Pote, a Dual-Degree (B.Tech+M.Tech) student at IIIT-Gwalior, experienced in Full-Stack Web Development, I would love to work on this Project. This project would be an excellent opportunity for me to learn and contribute to open-source. Collaborating, learning, and building some real-time stuff with professional Mentors would be a fantastic experience for me.

Thank you and Regards,

Hi @chases2 I am interested in learning about this project and want to work on this project under LFX Mentorship.
Please let me know about any materials or resources that I should learn to get a better understanding of the project and its requirements.

Additionally, I was wondering if there is anything else I can do to get started, such as research and learn about the project from the existing documentation.

Hey mentors, I am incredibly enthusiastic at the prospect of working as an LFX mentee under TestGrid. As a driven individual with a passion for learning and growing in the field of technology, I see this mentorship as an exceptional chance to gain valuable knowledge and experience.

I've already completed the pre-requisites for the application, and as next steps, I am now reviewing the documentation. I hope to start contributing on some issues soon. Excited to learn more! (ps: if you'd like to learn more about me, here's my patch of the internet)

Hey folks, thanks for all the interest on this! (Sean's out at the moment, so I'm replying for now.)

We don't have any pre-work required at the moment (except a general reminder, if you haven't formally applied yet via https://github.com/cncf/mentoring/blob/main/lfx-mentorship/README.md#mentees, please do so we can review potential mentees later in February! We'll have more details then).

Re:Slack, we're on the Kubernetes community Slack (on the #testgrid channel), though there is no need to join and we will not be evaluating that when reviewing mentees.

And if you have questions, feel free to ask! ^^

I see that the UI code is open-source now https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/testgrid/tree/master/web 🎉

Can we close this issue?

[michelle192837]

It's not quite feature-complete for an initial UI, though it is runnable! I think we can keep it open a bit longer until we finish out the initial work we'd planned (by end of year?) and then can close this.
