Compass Version1.2

Comments

Comments are a way for users to leave details about a build for other users.  Users can use this as a communication board in cases where For instance, if a user sees that a unit test failed he might investigate why the failure occurred.  During his investigation, he discovers that the error is in an area of the code base that he is completely unfamiliar, but he tracks it down to a single file.  He might make a note of this in the comments section in Compass, so that when someone familiar with this area of code has time to look at it, they already have some starting information.  In this scenario, the comments section on the build results page would look like this:

As you can see, the the user 'sam' added a comment indicating where the bug is and that Joe or John should fix it.  To add a comment, users simply click the 'Add Comment' button which expands the comment section to include the comment editor.  The comment editor looks like this:

The editor is a rich text editor that allows bold, italics and underline text.  Also, when editing comments, users can click on the user button to bring up a list of users.  When a username is added with this method, the username is linked to the user in the comment.  Also, if the folder icon is clicked, it brings up a build history dialog that lets user link to a specific build result. 

Comments are not deletable from Compass until the entire build result is deleted.
