1223283 - [jenkins] create a daily slave maintenance job

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Cloud Services :: QA: Test Automation, defect)

Description

[Richard Pappalardo [:rpapa][:rpappalardo]]

Create a jenkins job to download the latest browser, test code on each jenkins slave once daily so slaves will be adequately up-to-date without downloading these with every job run.  The XML for this job should be added to services-qa-jenkins/templates and pushed to the jenkins master via puppet.

Jenkins slave nodes will be "refreshed" by a refresh job (to run once / day).
Job will uninstall all firefoxes and delete profiles, download new firefoxes 
(nightly, dev-edition, beta, general release)
Script must work on: Windows, OSX & Linux

we started working on the services-test/demo project to hack out using ini manifests and realized we needed to get this in place first, hence the odd feature branch name.

feature branch is here:
https://github.com/mozilla-services/services-test/tree/bug/1209719/_utils

script is:
services-test/_utils/slave_refresh.py

depends on:
services-test/firefox_env_handler.py - sets up firefox PATHs as ENV vars
services-test/firefox_uninstall.py - removes all firefoxes
services-test/firefox_download.py - downloads all firefoxes
services-test/firefox_install.py - installs all firefoxes

no AWS support for Mac, but we could stick the one we have in the MTV lab

UPDATED (DAILY) REQUIREMENTS

[1]. update latest browsers on Jenkins slave nodes (Windows only)
    JOB: _utils_daily_maintenance (uses ff-tool)

[2]. clone latest firefox from mozilla-central
    - need to figure out how to get hg clone from _utils_daily_maintenance workspace to a 
      test workspace (i.e. sync test)

Comment 5

[Richard Pappalardo [:rpapa][:rpappalardo]]

Realize we need 1 of these per OS:
[1]. _utils_daily_update_win_server - DONE
  - update all versions of Firefox

[2]. _utils_daily_update_ubuntu_desktop
  - clone latest mercurial to shared dir

Comment 6

[Richard Pappalardo [:rpapa][:rpappalardo]]

mozilla-central will now be cloned to the _utils_daily_update_ubuntu_desktop
workspace on the UBUNTU-DESKTOP slave once daily.

the mozilla-central clone will also be symlinked via the /home/ubuntu/.bash_aliases
to /home/jenkins-slave/mozilla-central
for easier access by jobs

Will verify once daily job has run several jobs successfully

[Richard Pappalardo [:rpapa][:rpappalardo]]

need to chmod /run/user/1000  in: _utils_daily_update_ubuntu_desktop
for sync TPS job
