651802 - create_buildN_snippets fails when locales are missing

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Rail Aliiev [:rail]]

During 3.6.17 build3 updates builder turned red due to failed create_buildN_snippets step.

create_buildN_snippets failed because there were no build1 snippets (build1 was canceled) and snippets for some of the locales were missing (ml, te mac updates disabled due to updater bug). 

create_buildN_snippets should handle these situations or shouldn't turn the whole builder red.

this happened for one of the later 4.0 releases, rc2 iirc, as well.

Actually, build1 being missing doesn't turn it red. It's only the missing locales part that does that.

Attachment: ignore create_buildN_snippets failures

Since we don't really care about this step, I think, it's safe to ignore failures and send emails if other steps are OK.

ignore create_buildN_snippets failures

Can we warnOnFailure instead?

Oops, I forgot how these flags work. This is fine, since the step will still burn.
