1100150 - Setup alder for taskcluster work

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Nick Thomas [:nthomas] (UTC+12)]

Alder was last used for the Firefox decade release so the configuration is rather unusual.

jlal, what configuration would you like Alder to have for the taskcluster work ? Perhaps the same as mozilla-central, or mozilla-inbound ? If m-c, would you like nightlies with updates ? Or maybe no buildbot builds at all ?

mozilla-inbound would be ideal ( + I would assume this without nighties is the least amount of work required to get this running )


thanks!

I'm assuming this overrides comment #1 in this bug, since it's a capacity win. In fact it sounds like you don't need buildbot at all, just a repo (a new one could be created), and that enabled on treeherder. That would leave Alder free for someone else to use. How does that sound ?

Yes sorry for any confusion but I do think for full testing we need at least some (preferably only linux/build tests) running. Primarily we have conducted testing via try but I would like to test more deeply our branch configuration and how running TC/BB jobs side by side work.

Alder is ideal since treeherder is already configured (https://treeherder.allizom.org/#/jobs?repo=alder).

This removes all desktop customization for the fx10 release (bug 1083853), then adds in linux b2g gecko and mulet builds, and the tests we're running (actually closer to b2g-inbound and mozilla-inbound).

Builders added:
b2g_alder_linux32_gecko build
b2g_alder_linux64_gecko build
b2g_alder_linux64_gecko-debug build
Linux x86-64 Mulet alder build

Tests added:
b2g_ubuntu32_vm alder opt test mochitest-1
b2g_ubuntu32_vm alder opt test reftest-sanity
b2g_ubuntu64_vm alder opt test gaia-build
b2g_ubuntu64_vm alder opt test gaia-build-unit
b2g_ubuntu64_vm alder opt test gaia-js-integration-1
b2g_ubuntu64_vm alder opt test gaia-js-integration-2
b2g_ubuntu64_vm alder opt test gaia-js-integration-3
b2g_ubuntu64_vm alder opt test gaia-js-integration-4
b2g_ubuntu64_vm alder opt test gaia-linter
b2g_ubuntu64_vm alder opt test gaia-ui-test-accessibility
b2g_ubuntu64_vm alder opt test gaia-ui-test-functional-1
b2g_ubuntu64_vm alder opt test gaia-ui-test-functional-2
b2g_ubuntu64_vm alder opt test gaia-ui-test-functional-3
b2g_ubuntu64_vm alder opt test gaia-ui-test-unit
b2g_ubuntu64_vm alder opt test gaia-unit
b2g_ubuntu64_vm alder opt test mochitest-oop-1
b2g_ubuntu64_vm alder opt test reftest-sanity-oop
b2g_ubuntu64_vm alder debug test gaia-ui-test
Ubuntu VM 12.04 x64 Mulet alder opt test mochitest-1
Ubuntu VM 12.04 x64 Mulet alder opt test mochitest-2
Ubuntu VM 12.04 x64 Mulet alder opt test mochitest-3
Ubuntu VM 12.04 x64 Mulet alder opt test mochitest-4
Ubuntu VM 12.04 x64 Mulet alder opt test mochitest-5

Removes a lot more builders than it adds.

This is perfect thanks :D

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I think this is right.

There are some perma failing test jobs in here that may add confusion if tbpl/treeherder does not automajically hides them like it does with other branches but at least this includes similar tests.

e.g. Ubuntu VM 12.04 x64 Mulet alder opt test mochitest-2
     Ubuntu VM 12.04 x64 Mulet alder opt test mochitest-4
     b2g_ubuntu64_vm alder debug test gaia-ui-test

::: mozilla-tests/b2g_config.py

come to think of it, locking to these platforms might make it so we skip this hidden perma failing test job anyway:      'b2g_ubuntu64_vm alder debug test gaia-ui-test'
