The B2G view in Datazilla which by default should display results for moz-app-visually-complete is currently showing no results [1]. This is because the tests are erroring from bug 1048024. This bug has been resolved, but we need to be able to flash Gonk in order to resolve the bug on the test devices. Until the fix can be applied, Datazilla will see no results for these tests.

As I understand it a single full flash should rectify this. I'm currently working on doing that and will report back.

This looks like it's fixed now, results have started to appear.

This has returned due to a recent request to reflash the automation devices with v188-1 and to subsequently only shallow flash them. I want all devices in automation to be consistent, and therefore want to avoid a one-off full flash on only the perf devices. If we know what partition(s) need to be flashed then perhaps we can find out if these would affect the functional tests, and if not we can only flash those. Tony: Please advise how we can keep all automation devices consistent but restore performance testing coverage.

Fabrice: Do you know which partitions would need to be flashed for the fix from bug 1048024? If it turns out that these will not introduce the issues that Tony is trying to avoid then it would be safe for us to flash them across all devices.

Dave, did you get what you need from dhylands?

Yes, I think so. I've commented on bug 1092002 and set it as a blocker.
Depends on: 1092002

We haven't had any automated performance results for over 10 days now, and it doesn't look like bug 1092002 has a clear indication of what's needed or when it will be resolved. In order to restore performance test coverage can we either revert to using v180 (or v184) and full flashes, or to use v188-1 and full flashes (excluding the releng boot.img). I'm planning to change the way we flash devices in our CI to a single combined flash of the base images, substituting any images produced by our own builds. The latter is usually boot.img, system.img, and userdata.img, however considering our own boot.img appears to be the cause of these issues when combined with v188 base builds, I am suggesting we just use the version in the base build.

I agree, lets not wait much longer and get perf data running again since it takes time to build up the queue.

They would be pvtbuilds, as this is what we're currently using for our on-device test automation. I will see what I can do today to unblock our performance coverage.

Tony: With bug 1092002 now resolved, can you confirm it's safe to go back to full flashing in automation?

I've switched the performance tests back to performing a full flash with the pvtbuilds. If this is successful I'll do the same for the UI tests.

We have test results again!
