1045531 - Automate the publication of fennec on Google play

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Release Automation: Other, defect, P2)

Description

[Sylvestre Ledru [:Sylvestre]]

Google announced the "Publishing API":
https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/

It enables "Uploading new versions of an app"
We, the release team, would appreciate to have such feature. For now, the beta & release uploads of the APKs are done by hand. It wastes our time and introduce the risk of human error.
Just like we do with Desktop, we would like a more transparent push (why not as part of the push to mirror)

Thanks to Benjamin Kerensa for the info.

[Lawrence Mandel [:lmandel] (use needinfo)]

This is a high priority from relman's perspective as we do spend a fair amount of time uploading to the Play store, this does introduce the potential for human error (although the Play store is pretty good about catching this), and we are a bottleneck in the release process.

I think this is the API method that is of interest:
https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/api-ref/edits/apks

For v1, we can simply upload the APKs. For v2, I would like to see us pull recent changes information from Nucleus (will require Nucleus changes):
https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/api-ref/edits/apklistings

You could set up a test account, or a test product on the existing account to do the development here. The latter may need builds which have a different identifier than org.mozilla.firefox.

It seems that the current API has some bugs: https://github.com/googlesamples/android-play-publisher-api/issues/8

Cannot upload the same APK version for two different archs

Attachment: push_apk.diff

Here is a first proposition of the Google play upload.
That works fine for me.

Some information:
* This is the first time that I use mozharness. Don't hesitate to let me know if I used it incorrectly.
* I have been testing using the old (and not published) aurora app (org.mozilla.fennec_aurora).
* I manage the various google play track (Production, beta or alpha).
* I don't really know how sanity checks are done in mozharness. So, I wrote a method to do it.
* You will need the client_secrets.json to test (give me your PGP key if you want it).
* I haven't find how to do use a list of final arguments like:
python push_apk.py --package_name org.mozilla.fennec_aurora --push_apk fennec-35.0a2.multi.android-i386.apk  fennec-35.0a2.multi.android-arm.apk 
Instead, I did:
python push_apk.py --package_name org.mozilla.fennec_aurora --push_apk --apk-x86 fennec-35.0a2.multi.android-i386.apk  --apk-armv7 fennec-35.0a2.multi.android-arm.apk
(note that the arch doesn't matter)
* I added an optional arg to manage armv6 files (--apk-armv6).


As a sample, the command:
python push_apk.py --package_name org.mozilla.fennec_aurora --apk-x86 fennec-35.0a2.multi.android-i386.apk  --apk-armv7 fennec-35.0a2.multi.android-arm.apk  --push_apk

The normal way of doing this is by passing the --foo more than once. Eg: --push_apk foo.apk --push_apk bar.apk. I don't know if Mozharness supports that, but it's worth a try...

We may end up needing a config file for package_name rather than passing it on the command line. Not sure, so this is fine for now. We should know for sure when this gets integrated with the buildbot parts of the release automation.

A few things on this method:
1) Accessing sys.argv directly here is really weird. If you need stuff from args, it should be stored and used from the config IMO.
2) Am I reading this right that the Mozharness args (like --push_apk) mirror some flags in the google play api methods? If so, that seems like a bad assumption to make - it'll be more difficult to update this script if the google api changes.
3) It should probably go in a Mixin class, so that it can be used in other scripts (which I'm sure we'll have in the future). BalrogMixin might be a nice simple example of Mixin usage in Mozharness.

Jordan, we could use some advice here re: using 3rd party libraries in Mozharness. Sylvestre's patch depends on a few, and it's not really possible to implement this without at least oauth2. This is expected to be run through Buildbot (probably ScriptFactory) eventually, if that matters.

since it is third party and a specific need for this script, it may be best to isolate this via creating a virtualenv within the work_dir and installing google-api-python-client via or pypi server.

* Note this would require us to push a tar ball of the package up to http://pypi.pvt.build.mozilla.org/pub/ so it is available

would that solve your issue?

to create a virtualenv in mozharness, inherit from this mixin[1] and add 'create-virtualenv' to your list of actions. You will also want to add to your config:

  {
    # this will pip install it automajically when we call the create-virtualenv action
    'virtualenv_modules': ['google-api-python-client'],
    "find_links": [   # so mozharness knows where to look for the package
        "http://pypi.pvt.build.mozilla.org/pub",
        "http://pypi.pub.build.mozilla.org/pub",
    ],
     # the path inside the work_dir ('build') of where we will install the env.
     # pretty sure it's the default and not needed.
    'virtual_env': 'venv',
  }

if you are going to be using this on multiple platforms and the virtualenv executable is not in your path (i.e. windows), you will also want to add the following to your config.

    # At which point, we will want to have a config file per platform for this script rather than only
    # relying on the script for self.config items:
    'exes': {'virtualenv': '/path/to/python /path/to/virtualenv'}

as we won't be creating a virtualenv for subprocess commands (we need to avail of oauth2 within the mozharness script itself), we probably have to go this route[2] (recent patch from mshal):

alternatively, instead of going with query_python_site_packages_path() and messing with sys.path, you could also activate the newly created virtualenv within the script[3]. This technique does require that you use the same version of python to call mozharness as the virtualenv you created[4]. When calling mozharnesss from ScriptFactory, our buildbot-configs usually use mozharness_python key as the interpreter. You just have to set that explicitly to what you want (e.g. a 2.7 one). That's good practice anyway instead of using the one from a slaves path.

Does this strategy still work when the Mozharness script itself needs extra packages? Note that Sylvestre's script imports oauth2client at the top of the file.

Buried in my last comment I noted that we have to do something special due to the fact that it is the script itself needing the extra module. It's not uncommon in mozharness to do the import after we create and activate the virtual env. Notice how here[1], we query_python_site_packages_path() before using the requests module. But I also noted that I feel it's better to activate the virtualenv into the currently running script[2] vs messing with the python interpreters sys.path.

I like this as it isolates everything into the mozharness scrict and it can be taken out of our build pool, even run locally, if neeeded. If all of this rubs the wrong way, I'd imagine we will have to add the module to built in python on our create a special virtualenv on our slaves. Both I suppose would require puppet if this was linux only.

Does that clear things up or is my logic flawed? :)

I updated the auth mechanism to use pkcs 12.

It needs: a account name + a key. The key can be downloaded from the Google play admin.

Advantages:
* it does not need to login on a website
* the code is smaller and easier to read
* the login+key are enough
* Remove the arg stuff

I added the option --service-account for the login and we are still using --credentials for the keyfile

I also added the venv stuff but I don't see how this can be used

python push_apk.py --package-name org.mozilla.fennec_aurora --apk-x86 fennec-35.0a2.multi.android-i386.apk  --apk-armv7 fennec-35.0a2.multi.android-arm.apk --service-account [e-mail] --credentials googleplay.p12  --push_apk

Now that you're in a mixin, you're sharing scope with (potentially) every single other mixin. It's best to add something that indicates this is for google play, eg, "google_play_credentials_file". r=me with that fixed (make sure you update the references in the script itself, too).

I had to reenable the esr build (for android 2.2 and armv6) on the interface itself.
Next time, I will use armv6 option to upload it.

Hooray! Feel free to land this patch, then. We'll need to keep this bug open to figure out the buildbot integration piece though.

Comment 25

[Sylvestre Ledru [:Sylvestre]]

Oh, it is landed (comment #21)

From the relman point of view, we would like the same thing as desktop.
(ie, send an email saying please push Fennec version xx build y to the beta channel).

I'm not sure this is necessary. This script will likely end up installing requirements into a virtualenv...

Chris, Ben, do you think you will be able to use this script for beta 10 (or the next)?
Thanks

It's usually Nick and Massimo shipping releases, but I doubt it. This still needs buildbot integration, and probably some additional testing before that can happen.

[Lawrence Mandel [:lmandel] (use needinfo)]

We're pretty busy the next week or so with the release but given that Sylvestre has done his part of the work, it would be good to complete this bug by getting it integrated. Is there additional testing that Sylvestre can do to help push this along? Anything that he can help do wrt buildbot integration?

It's highly unlikely this is going to get integrated this week. Honestly, the integration piece is probably more work because the testing is so much more complicated. A few of us are already busy figuring out 34.1 release mechanics, and speaking for myself, I can't prioritize this higher than the other work on my plate.

I'd like to get him up to speed on how to test things within Buildbot while we're in Portland. I don't like good work like this getting blocked either, but it's bound to happen as long as RelEng is on the hook for the integration pieces.

Comment 34

[[e-mail] (:bhearsum)]

It looks like we need two main things here still:
1) Deploy credentials to build machines.
2) Write buildbot integration piece.

We decided in an e-mail thread to not bother trying to test this in staging. Sylvestre has done manual testing of the script and it's simply not worth the effort trying to run this in staging.

I'll try to push this past the finish line in the next couple of weeks.

Comment 35

[[e-mail] (:bhearsum)]

I just had a discussion with some RelEng folks and deploying this just got more complicated. The current way we do pushes involves putting the necessary keys on all of our build machines. Many people are uncomfortable doing that with the Google Play key, so we're going to need some sort of more limited set of machines that we do these uploads on. Someone also suggested that release runner might be able to do it, which would probably mean a new button on Ship It.

Given the above, this is looking like more work than I thought it would be. I may have to put it off depending how my other Q1 work is looking.

Having the capability to push an APK from ship-it would be "Wahou" for us (Release managers).
What does it involve? Adding a new url for release-runners to scan, add a button in ship-it and update release-runners to watch this url? (or use the one for the build)

I could give it a try.

Rail, Catlee, and I talked about this a lot yesterday. This is probably going to be more involved than that, I really don't have a clear picture of what it will be yet. Probably need to talk to security folks first, too.

I was talking to coop about this and he suggested that this would be a good next bug to work on.  The work in this bug is before we had release promotion.  The work now would be to use scriptworker to upload apks to the play store via a task.  Fennec doesn't use release promotion yet but if we switch the scheduling to TC for fennec, we can run jobs in either buildbot or TC.

Comment 39

[Sylvestre Ledru [:Sylvestre]]

I have implemented this here:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/mozharness/scripts/push_apk.py
This is used by release management now.

However, it is executed on my system and having a better integration would help.
BTW, Having help in bug 1122509 would help this.

Kim, could you clarify where the apk would come from if we don't use release promotion? I'm not familiar with the fennec release process

Comment 41

[Kim Moir [:kmoir] ET]

Since the apk is not generated via release promotion yet, we could just focus on implementing the part that uploads the apk and revisit where the actual apk comes from later.

Comment 42

[Kim Moir [:kmoir] ET]

To clarify my previous comment, Sylvestre already had code the uploads the code, it would be good to get that in a format that we can use in a task for release promotion.

Comment 43

[Sylvestre Ledru [:Sylvestre]]

Francis, I think we should instead use this bug as meta and we should open a new bug to work on the integration of the script.
wdyt ?

Found in triaging. The work for this has been completed in other bugs and it's fully working for a good while now. Thanks to :jlorenzo!
