651139 - Manage bulk addon validation for compatibility w/ rapid releases

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Administration, defect, P1)

Description

[Kumar McMillan [:kumar]]

Attachment: UI mockup

As part of bug 649864 an admin needs a screen to do the following:

1. Schedule bulk validation tasks to run in the background
2. Perform actions after the validation tasks have completed

This calls for creating a simple management UI and a basic backend to support job scheduling and completion.  A mockup is attached.

This does not address the actual background tasks (such as validating all active addons) or any management actions after the validation has been completed (such as emailing addon authors)

Looks good! I like the idea of doing the emails afterwards. Eliminates the need for dry run and makes it easier to catch and correct mistakes.

Thanks, that's a lot clearer to me

Note that we should be able to email passing add-ons too.

This has been implemented in https://github.com/jbalogh/zamboni/commit/6e9fe32969b9c41e91ac40ded7fbceebd73ba7d1

The URL will be https://addons.allizom.org/en-US/admin/validation

however, it will only start to get exciting when bug 651300 (the validation task) has been completed.  Because of that, it can probably only be qa'd after at least validation is working.
