1110769 - Schedule Linux64 code coverage builds and tests on Try as a non-default option

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Andrew Halberstadt [:ahal]]

Non default means it will only show up on a try push if explicitly listed, it won't show up if 'all' is used.

Historically we've used Cedar for standing up new builds and tests. This was so we could stage mozharness changes without needing to land changes in production and break all the other branches. Thanks to Armen, we can now push to Try with custom mozharness repos. This basically makes Cedar obsolete as standing up new builds/tests on Try is much nicer.

For my own sanity, I'd like to schedule code coverage builds there so I can stop working on Cedar. It will also make it easier for other people to get coverage data (once that part is finished) for specific jobs/suites.

Attachment: Schedule linux64-cc on Try instead of Cedar

As usual, I'm not entirely sure this is going to do what I want. So I'll be explicit :). This patch is intended to:

1) Schedule linux64-cc builds and tests on Try.
2) Don't schedule builds by default so it doesn't get run by 'all' (I believe this is accomplished by 'try_by_default'=False which was already set). Tests should be scheduled by default if the build is run.
3) Stop scheduling them on Cedar, to save some resources.

I'm assuming this will automatically get picked up by try syntax as 'linux64-cc'? Or is there another step I need to accomplish this?

thanks for the explicit explanation of what you're hoping this achieves.

lgtm :) I don't think we can really test this but based upon what I can tell, this should do what you want.
