778390 - IT would be nice to have a TBPL hotkey like "n" to display nightly builds only

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Tree Management Graveyard :: TBPL, enhancement)

Description

[Bill Gianopoulos [:WG9s]]

This is an idea I had to make it easier to get a list of changesets associated with recent nightlies to help people trying to identify regression windows in bugs.

THere is probably a better way to do this, but seemed if we could have tbpl only display changes with "N" builds as a hot-key option this would give a list of recent nightlies with associated changesets, which is the info one needs to do this.

There's no keyboard shortcut for it, but for now you can access this with a link like https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?jobname=nightly (you may need to scroll down or load more pushes in order to see anything).

I agree easily finding a list of the last X Nightlies and their changesets/pushlogs would be useful for people hunting regressions, however I'm not sure whether TBPL is the best place for this & even if it were, a keyboard shortcut would be excessive IMO. (As Matt said, you can already use the filter feature for this, so I don't really feel this warrants a shortcut key on top).

Might releng already have a script that fetches Nightly changesets? 

Also, surely people finding regression windows are using MozRegression (http://mozilla.github.com/mozregression/), which generates the changeset pushlog for you?

Oh and the Nightly Tester Tools addon has a feature that shows the pushlog of changesets between the current build and the last build you installed (which means if you skipped a nightly it shows you two day's worth, which is very useful).

Ok, seems like those are sufficient for what I was looking for.  I had no idea mozregression even existed and I forgot about the nightly tester tools thing.

SO, I am resolving this WONTFIX.
