1372075 - Move android-api-15 tier-2 Taskcluster tasks to tier-1

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: Android Studio and Gradle Integration, enhancement)

Description

[Teng-pao Yu [:tyu]]

This is a follow-up for Bug 1370539, a side topic of that bug was to move several android jobs including android-test,android-checkstyle,android-findbugs,android-lint from tier-2 to tier-1.

Following are the pending items to make this happen suggested by :nalexander

Worklist items:

- displaying errors in TH-friendly formats.  See http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/app/build.gradle#417, which will need to grow to either set up listeners for each task or learn how to parse all the outputs.

- updating trychooser.  How hard can it be, hahaha?  I take that back: https://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/file/tip/mozilla-tests/config.py looks horrendous.

- stubbing out some documentation for the suites.

Attachment: Bug 1372075 - Make android-* Gradle test suites tier 1.

This adds a new `tc-A` Tree Herder group, similar to the `A` Autophone
(or Android) group.  (I don't want to include a `g` for Gradle because
eventually there will be nothing that is _not_ Gradle.)

Per https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1371445#c31, the
sheriffs are satisfied with the test output.

As to the rest of
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1372075#c0, the
documentation is in place, and |mach try fuzzy| has eclipsed
trychooser, so I think we should not update trychooser.

That file is not really relevant. Trychooser resides on https://github.com/mozilla-releng/services/. See bug 1375031 for an example of how to update trychooser -- it's not too bad! |mach try fuzzy| and |mach try empty| are great, but |mach try syntax| is still an option, and certainly some people currently use try syntax.

Docs look good! I think you should update trychooser, but no need to block on that.
