1387186 - Run talos on nightly builds

Status: NEW

(Firefox Build System :: Task Configuration, task)

Description

[Justin Wood (:Callek)]

We would need to run these multiple times per build to get enough data. Also they would need to identify themselves as a new type of talos test, not PGO or non-PGO.

Maybe easier to do once we're not using BBB for Talos.

========

Not sure if we want to do this or not. We wouldn't get enough data points from nightly.

Perhaps if we ran multiple talos jobs per nightly build?

Last I spoke with Joel, we didn't think this was worth the effort at this point.

I think waiting until we're not using BBB for Talos makes sense. Then it should be a lot easier to schedule multiple runs, and properly identify them as 'nightly'.

Joel, did I capture our conversation accurately?

yes, this sounds right- once we are all on TC, it will be easier to adjust our scheduling.

are we running nightlies per push on mozilla-beta?  If so, then we should do this now :)

Making this change would also let us turn off the otherwise-useless tc(B) jobs on Beta & Release. All the other test suites run on the promotable tc(N) builds (which do run on every push, yes).
