coreas we will want to discuss options on what we want the UX to look like for this feature.Reacted by Kyle, Jake Lundberg and Sergey SemushinReacted by Alessandro Dal Grande and Jake Lundberg- changed the title
[-][Feature Request] - add option to watch in workflow run[/-][+]Add option to watch workflow run progress[/+]on Jun 27, 2022 I'd definitely love a
gh workflow run -woption to bring up the browser to watch the run.Terminal would be cool too, but I'd want to see the detailed output rather than the summary provided by
gh run watchtoday.For the time being I think this will probably be good enough since the top entry in
run viewis usually the one I just triggered. Posting incase it helps anyone else:gh workflow run (run args); sleep 5; gh run view -wReacted by Mislav Marohnić- added a commit that references this issue
on Jan 20, 2023 I hacked up a workaround for this that works well enough locally: mik3y@6359338
It works by polling the the list of runs before and after, then selecting the first newly-appearing run. This is naturally a bit brittle due to #4001, though is already saving me plenty of time.
I'm happy to PR the code, with any suggested improvements, if something like this would be acceptable.

on Feb 4, 2023 My workaround is this :
gh workflow run Sql-CreateNorthwindDb.yaml --field DB_IP="*" --field DB_NAME="*" --field MINI_VERSION="true" && sleep 5 && \ gh run list --workflow=Sql-CreateNorthwindDb.yaml --json databaseId --limit 1 | jq '.[].databaseId' | \ xargs gh run watch
can probably be wrapped in a function.
will break if multiple people run it at same time.
if anyone knows how to relibly get the id of the run I just launched that would be best.- added a commit that references this issue
