1814661 - Help me patch holly so it doesn't run everything when I push

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: Task Configuration, task)

Description

[Tom Ritter [:tjr]]

The Updatebot team uses holly as a testing ground for Updatebot. This is so we can restrict the secrets to L2 and not grant them to try. If you peruse https://treeherder.mozilla.org/jobs?repo=holly you'll see that the general operating process is

1. Write a patch
2. Push to holly
3. Wait a bit for the Decision task to run
4. Cancel all the jobs
5. Wait for them to be canceled
6. Manually schedule the jobs I want (which is usually docker-image-updatebot, updatebot-cron, and updatebot-cron-win)

This is error prone and even when I do cancel them right away, most of the time they've started and it just wastes resources.

In the past I've tried to limit the tasks run but I never got the patch correct. I am wondering if someone would be able to write it for me correctly so I can stop wasting resources (and slowing down my dev cycles.)

When I push to holly I would like to only run docker-image-updatebot, updatebot-cron, updatebot-cron-win, and source-test-mozlint-*

We now pull in updatebot tasks explicitly; docker-image-updatebot will run automatically whenever relevant files change, and setting enable_always_target means tasks such as source-test-* will also be picked up based on changed files on each push. Let me know if you want further adjustments.
