1325168 - unable to run reftests and webgl tests on tc win7 due to needing gpu ami instance types

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Taskcluster :: General, defect)

Description

[Joel Maher ( :jmaher ) (UTC -8)]

I had tried to run windows-gpu-tests on try server:
https://hg.mozilla.org/try/rev/a4b5be9de9f03f9315df6871e5d39ce2bf49155f#l2.35

unfortunately none of these jobs ran on the try push:

:pmoore, can you help figure out how to run these tests on gpu ami's?

Comment 2

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

There are different workerTypes for instances with GPUs -- gecko-t-win7-32-gpu.  That's driven by different test platforms, with windows7-32 being the platform you want to get a GPU (windows7-32-vm has no GPU).

I don't see those workerTypes referenced in your patch, so I'm guessing that's why it didn't work!

Sorry, the "more info" is "have you tried this.." :)

Thanks Dustin for jumping in so quickly!

Attachment: enable win gpu workers

jmaher: i believe this is what you're looking for. eg: https://hg.mozilla.org/try/raw-rev/e0db0e3246862742fcc9f06f24bc295ff21914c6

I had a try push and the jobs were scheduled!  Here are the results:
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&author=[e-mail]&filter-tier=1&filter-tier=2&filter-tier=3&filter-searchStr=tc&selectedJob=33266968

you can see a lot of orange- primarily in the e10s jobs- is it possible the worker/ami changes we made for the win7-vm instances are not the same as the win7 (gpu) instances?

jmaher: you are spot on. i didn't expect you to be so quick. the win7 gpu amis are currently building...

It looks like these run great, I will close this and open bugs on specific failures at this point :)

Thanks for the quick help everyone.
