Re: External CI for external contributors

 

Hi,
As part of Mellanox team I would like to emphasize the importance of such CI for us.
For example, in RC1 there was a fix that was made and failed the Mellnox plugins, and we only discover it on our final manual testing. This could be avoided on time.

I would go with 2 different tests:

1.       CI for commits that meets filter (specific files or folders) – as in open stack community.

2.       The ability to take a nightly build and automatically configured it – to find problems that slipped through our CI filters.

Nurit

Hi Fuelers,
I think that our external contributors should definitely should have own gateway. It should be a part of integration. Their gate can -1 but won't affect on voting process though their team will be informed to take some actions and fix their/our code respectively.

Folks,

Is there an approach that external contributors, like Mellanox, should use in order to build an external CI to demonstrate build/test results?

There is a bug in launchpad created couple of months ago: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fuel/+bug/1320924, but i don't see any progress there.

My proposal is to take a look at the process OpenStack community selected for building external CI systems and adapt it for MOS/Fuel.
Jay Pypes wrote a series of blog posts with instructions for setting up external CI's:

  *   http://www.joinfu.com/2014/02/setting-up-an-openstack-external-testing-system-part-2/
Please let me know what you think about it.
Mellanox team, your opinion is extremely important here.
