What is a disposable project branch?

These are project branches that can be cloned fresh from any mozilla-central based repo with the full gambit of tests enabled. No l10n or nightlies for now. In order to book one:

  • Sign up below
  • Make a request to IT to reset the repo for you as a clone from your own project repo (or default mozilla-central:tip). Copy the script below into bug request, replacing the REPO_PATH and TWIG with your repo and booked branch.
export REPO_PATH = # path to your repo eg: users/lsblakk_mozilla.com/staging
export TWIG = # {maple,cedar,birch} whichever twig you booked

cd /repo/hg/scripts/
./reset_pp_repo.sh -s /repo/hg/mozilla/$REPO_PATH -r tip -d $TWIG
  • Sit back and watch your builds and test results roll in (Maple, Cedar, Birch).
    • Special note - READ ME: the first push to your newly cloned repo will NOT trigger a build so you must push twice to get things started

Just like Build:TryServerAsBranch but for longer, and just for you.
