625168 - we should be able to retrigger multiple jobs

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P4)

Description

Today I had a lot of fun to re-trigger few hundred test jobs that had gone red.

I went to each testing master and I re-triggered each failing job from the one_line_per_build?numbuilds=300 view.

I have thought of few ways to do this:

a) add a checkbox beside each build job on the one_line_per_build and big fat button at the bottom to "resubmit" (It would mean that I would have to visit each master but I bet buildbot would want this feature)

b) add a checkbox beside each build job on the buildapi/recent page and a big fat button at the bottom to "resubmit"

c) improve tools/buildfarm/maintenance/try_sendchange.py (this does not sound as good but I thought of it)

a tool that works with self-serve might be the best bet here.

Armen, does mozci address this?

Let's close this.
It is unclear if I wanted to trigger *all* failed jobs on a master or what.

We can easily implement something like it if the sheriffs had some sort of need like re-trigger all failed jobs between rev A and rev B.
