When a plan starts behaving differently or an environment loses its variables, you can now find the change behind it in the activity feed. Previously, a plan or environment update only showed who saved it and when. Now the event says what changed, and you can open the full list of changes from the Actions column in Settings > Activity feed.
Plan changes
A plan update now summarizes the change, for example:
- "Disabled the Nightly regression plan"
- "Added 2 tests to the Smoke plan"
- "Updated 3 settings in the Smoke plan"
- "Saved the Smoke plan with no changes"
To see each changed setting with its value before and after, or what was added and removed, click the View plan changes icon in the Actions column. The dialog covers:
- Name, description, labels, status, and triggers
- Tests, stages, and environments
- Browsers and devices
- Login and HTTP basic auth credentials, and HTTP headers
- Run settings such as retries, run multiplier, page interaction speed, and Runtime Recovery Refresh
Tests, environments, and credentials appear by name. Updates whose summary already tells the whole story, such as enabling or disabling a plan, have no icon.
Plan changes also appear on updates saved before this release, so you can look back at earlier edits right away.
Environment variable changes
An environment update now says how its variables changed, for example "Removed 3 variables from the Staging environment" or "Changed the values of 2 variables in the Staging environment". To keep secrets safe, the activity feed records the names of environment variables and HTTP headers, never their values.
Click the View variable changes icon to see which variables were added, removed, or had their values changed. A delete event lists the variables that were deleted from the environment, so you know which ones to recreate.
