485363 - setting enable_l10n = False in config.py does not completely disable l10n

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 508672

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[[e-mail] (:bhearsum)]

To help cope with a much smaller pool of slaves we set enable_l10n to False for mozilla-central. As it turns out, all this seems to do is not create the builders. The next time someone checked into mozilla-central that was supposed to trigger l10n builds the Scheduler failed to submit it, because the builders did not exist, but kept submitting the job over and over to the dep/unittest/leak test builders.

It looks like all of the l10n bits in master.cfg are protected behind 'if branch['enable_l10n']' code, so I'm not quite certain what's going on here.

It looks like the Scheduler in l10n.py doesn't verify that its builders exist at config time, which isn't very happy making.

Not going to have time to tackle this soon.

This will be fixed when l10n.ini is gone from buildbot-configs, happening in bug 508672
