1198728 - Stop scheduling gaia_ui_tests (Gip) on b2g_desktop across all branches

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Andrew Halberstadt [:ahal]]

On treeherder, the Gip tests have been hidden and mostly broken for many months. Recently, I made a change to marionette-client that broke them even further. After talking to jlorenzo, mwargers and jgriffin it seems like we should just remove them across all branches. As it currently stands, no one is looking at them and they are wasting machine resources.

There are some flame_kk_gaia_ui_tests_* variants in the tests directory, e.g:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/taskcluster/tasks/tests/flame_kk_gaia_ui_test_functional.yml

These don't seem to be run anywhere. Greg, you have your name in the blame.. do you know if these files are safe to remove as well? Or are they running somewhere I can't find in treeherder?

Please do not remove those files.  They currently fun against flame device imags in our remote device lab.  They are reporting to treeherder staging only right now until we have more time to look at them and green them up.  Thank you for asking about them though!

Thanks! I'll get you to review to make sure I don't mess anything up :).

This looks good to me, I don't see anything obvious breaking.  if you want, you can push to try and make sure that those jobs don't get scheduled based on the changes made to the try job_flags.yml

Here's a try run:
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=2bc35908264f&exclusion_profile=false

Didn't get scheduled as desired. The other branches can't get tested on try, so I'll go ahead and land.

RyanVM points out that these are still scheduled via buildbot on older mozilla-b2g-* branches. Might as well get those too while we're at it.

Nvm, turns out they're already disabled there.
