1755586 - Add a tags.action value to tasks that result from a retrigger action

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: Task Configuration, task)

Description

[Marco Castelluccio [:marco]]

Tasks that are backfills have, in the "tags" dict, an "action" key whose value is "backfill-task".
It would be nice to have something similar for tasks resulting from a retrigger action, e.g. it could be "retrigger-task".

This would allow us to programmatically identify tasks that are retriggers (we can already do that by looking at the parent of the task itself and checking that it is an "Action: Retrigger" task, but it feels hacky and is not self-contained as you need to get information from outside the task itself).

Andrew, if this is a quick fix, would you mind taking it? https://github.com/mozilla/mozci/issues/649 could be implemented without this, but it would require quite a few changes (we would have to get the "parent" field from task definitions, and I'm not sure that's available as part of the data treeherder returns).
