This chrome extension primarily is used for re-running partial builds in SemaphoreCI. This will make your life easier if you have a test suite that has frequent flaky failures that are unavoidable or not worth trying to fix.
SemaphoreCI has an api to re-run just the test blocks that have failed. Why they don't make this ability available in their website, I don't know. So, to workaround this annoying limitation, I built this chrome extension that, once loaded with a Semaphore API key, will pull the pipeline id from the url of that pipeline you are on, and will issue the api request for you. Essentially this makes it take a "single click" to re-run a partial build. I do this frequently, so this saves me a lot of frequent key stokes and time.

- Copy and paste the Semaphore API key into the extension options.
- Navigate to a workflow that has a failure (ie a url that has a pipeline_id).
- Click the extension icon and if the API key is valid, it will re-run the pipeline for you within seconds
