Re: [tracecompass-dev] Use specific commit for test CTF traces?
|
Hello
could we have a special Jenkins Job that runs in the night and just
verifies the ctf-testsuite's master branch? If there are new traces
added and it fails then we would know right away. Nobody would need to
check it manually.
For Trace Compass master and stable branches, however, we would build
from a specific commit so that we don't get these surprise test failures
when submitting patches to Gerrit or nightly build.
It should not be hard to setup such a Jenkins job. First master branch
is checked out then we could apply a patch before running the build.

Hi Marc-André,
I was thinking about the same thing, after today's breakage ;)
The advantage of always pulling the ctf-testsuite's master branch is
that we don't have to think about it, new tests come in and we get
notified right away if we are non-conforming. Making this process
manual would add more burden to the maintainers.
But having the possibility to point to a specific commit could be
useful. I would still leave master pointing to ctf-testsuite's HEAD,
but in stable branches we could point to a specific commit instead.
That way those won't break unexpectedly, and as you mention, it
guarantees that the branch keeps working in the future.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Alex

Hi,
I'm wondering if we should use a specific commit when pulling the
ctf-testsuite when running the tests. I think it would be good
because it would let older Trace Compass commits still execute tests
properly and would also reduce the risk of "bad surprises",
especially around release ;) We can periodically update that commit,
whenever we have time to tackle more CTF improvements.
Let me know what you think,
Marc-Andre
