1303214 - Expire uploaded taskcluster artifacts (uploaded from BB by Mozharness) in try at 28 days

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Applications: MozharnessCore, defect)

Description

[Greg Arndt [:garndt]]

Mozharness currently creates artifacts with a default of 52 weeks, but for Try this could be shortened greatly.  For taskcluster tasks we have adjusted this to be 14 days for Try jobs and 1 year for everything else.

Btw how does this apply to builds and test packages which are part of the index? I assume those live forever? Or are those also getting removed after 1 year, and we still have to rely on archive.mozilla.org as the one and only true archive solution for now?

Henrik, indexes expire when the task does (well, in theory.. in practice, never).  Greg's talking about artifact expiration.

Greg, to be clear, you're suggesting changing the *explicit* expiration of tasks uploaded by mozharness, rather than the queue's default.

[Armen [:armenzg]]

Please let the gecko decision expiration dates higher in order that developers be able to add new jobs beyond 2 weeks.
The 'add new jobs' feature on Treeherder depends on it.

Thanks.

[Dustin J. Mitchell [:dustin] (he/him)]

Armen, there are no decision tasks for these -- they are Buildbot jobs.

Comment 5

[Greg Arndt [:garndt]]

Sorry for not being clearer, I opened this bug against mozharness and only am referring to the explicit artifact expiration that is set by mozharness when creating the artifact, which is set here:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/mozharness/mozharness/mozilla/taskcluster_helper.py#96

I'm not suggesting changing this for anything other than Try.  For TaskCluster we have determined that after 14 days, most artifacts are no longer needed for try jobs.  I hope this to be the same for the artifacts uploaded using mozharness from Buildbot.

[Greg Arndt [:garndt]]

Confirmed with bz on the dev-platform list that 28 days for try artifacts should be acceptable.
