Discussion Items / Updates

  • amo.prod instance in Phoenix/Jenkins (https://ci.mozilla.org/) -- status?
    • Set up job in ci.mozilla.org
    • Start hub and node on boot
    • Restart hub and node on failure
    • Push PHX changes to moz-grid-config
    • Clone node VM for running tests in parallel
    • Documentation!
  • Need help getting the new-user registration flow back up on browserid-tests, against dev.123done.org and beta123done.org, using BIDPOM.
  • Stalled builds are back, and now we have the backup plugin there's a new side-effect: the plugin prepares Jenkins for shutdown before a backup, but waits for all jobs to complete (and enforces 'quiet node' after waiting 2 hours). If there are stalled jobs then Jenkins is essentially doing nothing until the jobs are aborted. I think we may need to investigate using the pytest-timeout plugin, however it currently clashes with pytest-mozwebqa. For now I have re-enabled abort for amo.dev and marketplace.dev.
  • After investigating the above, I noticed that the backups were failing. This was due to the drive they are backed up to not being mounted. I have fixed this, but it should be a buildmaster responsibility to ensure backups are successful.
  • There seems to still be confusion over implicit/explicit timeouts with WebDriver and Selenium Grid timeouts. The former are important to understand when writing tests. How can we improve this situation?
  • How are we doing with investigating performance testing/tools/metrics we need to measure?
