The transition to autopilot 1.4 is done! I'm including Didier's mail
below, which contains important information for you as well.
So, as seen below, the transition to autopilot 1.4 is now done. We
can't release that image because of our sdk breaking backward
compatbility.
In addition, as the CI system will be down for the week-end (and may
as well on Monday morning). I think we are at the perfect timing to
try to get back to a green image.
If you look at image 14, we have some failing tests:
- mako:
http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/mako/14:20131107:20131031.1/4933/
- maguro:
http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/14:20131107:20131031.1/4932/
So, looking at the reports there are some core apps that still need
attention in order to be 100% passing. As of now I get to be the bully
in making this happen ;-) Let's work on getting each of the apps to be
100% passing and green. If we have flaky tests we'll fix them or
disable them. If the tests aren't green due to bugs, let's fix the
bugs. I want every merge this cycle to have passing tests, and for the
dashboard to stay passing unless there is a true bug.
So what does this mean? It means I'll be reverting anything that makes
the dashboard worse testwise, or doesn't work on the phone. I don't
want to have to do this, it wouldn't be fun for anyone. To make sure
this doesn't need to happen, please test your merges on real hardware
before accepting. If you don't have phone hardware, please add me as a
reviewer for all of your merges until all the core apps are green
again. I will personally run the tests on my phone to ensure they will
pass in the lab as well. Let's not push things that will make the
situation worse. The jenkins mergebot is an excellent approximation of
the enviroment, but it is not the same as running on the phone. You
should check the tests on real hardware before merging.
So in summary:
- We need to get our dashboard back to looking green!
- Merges that make tests worse will be reverted
- Always test on phone hardware before approving any new merges
-- Add me as a reviewer if you need someone to test your branch on
real hardware and you don't have any
- I'm going to be a bully to ensure this all happens :-)
QA Community test writers -- let's help out our core app devs where
possible. Check out the issues facing the core apps via
http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/ and fix them.
Propose merges once the fixes are ready. Add me if you lack a phablet
device and need me to double check and ensure it fixes things :-)
Thanks everyone!
