533539 - Implement a script to sync smoketest/bft results on the couchdb with litmus

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Testing Graveyard :: Mozmill, defect)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

We are able to send reports to couchdb now. Only support for restart tests is missing. That will be done in bug 533227.

To lower the amount of work we have to do for release testing, which means to enter results manually into litmus we should have a script which automatically synchronizes the results right out of the couchdb with litmus.

Just finished breaking up all this logic so you can do this.

pull from mikeal/mozmill/tree/reports and it should be clear how to go about implementing this by looking at my code for the restart tests.

Sorry, that last comment was made for a different bug.

It *might* be easier to do this the opposite way of the one proposed in this bug. Pull results out of Litmus in to CouchDB and create a few new pages to view the results :)

Why should that be easier? You would have to write a reporting module for Litmus AND the sync script. We already have everything in place to report to brasstacks. We should use this feature because we always wanna report to brasstacks and only sync special reports (user needs permissions to do that) with Litmus.

WONTFIX, we don't need this feature anymore. We do it manually and it works fine.
