Kill or rework auto refresh

XMLWordPrintable

    • jenkins-2.223

      The auto_refresh query parameter (and associated hudson_auto_refresh cookie) not only wreaks havoc on forms or any other pages that forget to add norefresh=true, it can cause serious performance issues in large Jenkins installations if some team members naïvely turn on auto refresh on the dashboard or some other expensive page and then go home for the night. Options:

      1. Delete this (mis)feature, adding back in more AJAXy behaviors to various pages upon request.
      2. Allow a Jenkins administrator to disable it for a given installation.
      3. Keep it, but make the Refresh time (Functions.configureAutoRefresh) increase exponentially after each automatic refresh, resetting to 10s only after an explicit page load (if these can be somehow distinguished).
