1232575 - Distributing the tests on try branch to a separated worker type

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Build System :: Task Configuration, task, P3)

Description

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1215766 +++

Per discussion in mozlando work week, we could create a b2gtest-emulator-try worker for the tests running on try branch.

Hi Greg, could you kindly guide me on how to patch the task graph and also help to create b2gtest-emulator-try? Thank you.

Sorry for the delayed response, this got buried while on holiday and PTO.  Now that I'm back I will be clearing these up soon.

I need to experiment with something with our in-tree configuration.  It's not initially supported to do this as I originally thought so a few options will need to be tested.

Based on the current status of tests on emulator and hidden jobs, is this still a priority?  We have people working on our next versions of in-tree configuration and it might make sense for them to work on it with this in mind rather than trying to patch our current way of doing it.

I believe that since most of these jobs either have been disabled or moved to tier 3 this is not as much of a pressing issue.  It is something to consider for the in-tree refactoring if it's something we would like to support.
