OpenShift Pipelines (Tekton) - Console

There’s a Console Too

Let’s pause from our CLI work for a moment and take a look at the OpenShift Web Console as it relates to Pipelines.

I know, I know…

You really don’t care about the GUI right?

You’re all in on the CLI.

Never fear, we’ll get back to the CLI soon enough…

;-)

If you are currently in the Developer perspective, switch to the Administrator perspective:

You should now see additional options in the left-hand nav bar.
From the left-hand nav bar, select Home -> Projects, then select the my-app project.

You should now see the overview of the my-app project.
Now select Pipelines in the left-hand nav bar.

You should see an expanded list with Pipelines, Tasks, and Triggers.
Select Pipelines from the expanded view in the left-hand nav:

From here, you can use the horizontal tabs to explore Pipelines, PipelineRuns, PipelineResources, and Conditions.

Note: PipelineResources are deprecated. Don’t use them.

We haven’t discussed Conditions yet. We’ll save that for later.
Look at the Pipelines:

Clicking into an item in the list of Pipelines will show you the details of that pipeline:

The stacked dot menu at the far right of each pipeline object in the list will expand to show you more options.

Selecting start allows you to manually start a PipelineRun by providing the parameter values.
Look at the PipelineRuns:

Clicking into an item in the list of PipelineRuns will show you the details of that run:
Select Tasks from the expanded view in the left-hand nav:

From here, you can use the horizontal tabs to explore Tasks, TaskRuns, and ClusterTasks

Clicking on any item in the list, will give you a detailed view of that item.
