797331 - Mark inactive intermittent failures bugs as WORKSFORME

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tree Management Graveyard :: TBPL, defect)

Description

This was done last weekend, but filing retrospectively so a copy of some of the searches/logic is kept somewhere.

Message appended to bugs:
{
Mass marking whiteboard:[orange] bugs WFM (to clean up TBPL bug suggestions) that:
* Haven't changed in >6 months
* Whose whiteboard contains none of the strings: {disabled,marked,random,fuzzy,todo,fails,failing,annotated,leave open,time-bomb}
* Passed a (quick) manual inspection of bug summary/whiteboard to ensure they weren't a false positive.

I've also gone through and searched for cases where the whiteboard wasn't labelled correctly after test disabling, by using attachment description & basic comment searches. However if the test for which this bug was about has in fact been disabled/annotated/..., please accept my apologies & reopen/mark the whiteboard appropriately so this doesn't get re-closed in the future (and please ping me via IRC or email so I can try to tweak the saved searches to avoid more edge cases).

Sorry for the spam! Filter on: #FFA500
}

Search for bugs that meet the above criteria:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?type0-1-0=notsubstring;order=Last%20Changed;list_id=4560263;field0-1-0=status_whiteboard;field0-0-0=status_whiteboard;resolution=---;query_based_on=Orange%3A%20Can%20close;status_whiteboard_type=substring;chfieldto=-6m;query_format=advanced;value0-1-0=leave%20open;status_whiteboard=[orange];type0-0-0=nowordssubstr;value0-0-0=random%20disabled%20marked%20fuzzy%20todo%20fails%20failing%20annotated%20time-bomb;known_name=Orange%3A%20Can%20close

In addition, prior to running that search, I checked for bugs whose whiteboard might need fixing (ie {disabled,...} adding), using this search:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?type0-1-0=anywordssubstr;order=Last%20Changed;list_id=4560275;field0-1-0=attachments.description;field0-0-0=status_whiteboard;type0-1-1=anywordssubstr;resolution=---;query_based_on=Orange%3A%20Unmarked%20disabled;status_whiteboard_type=substring;chfieldto=-7d;query_format=advanced;value0-1-0=random%20disable%20fuzzy%20todo%20fails%20failing%20annotate;status_whiteboard=[orange];value0-1-1=random%20disable%20fuzzy%20todo%20fails%20failing%20annotate;field0-1-1=short_desc;type0-0-0=nowordssubstr;value0-0-0=random%20disabled%20fuzzy%20todo%20fails%20failing%20annotated;known_name=Orange%3A%20Unmarked%20disabled

Approx 550 bugs were closed WFM.

Meant to add:
Whilst closing the bugs generated a lot of bugspam; it hopefully cleaned up a few component's open bug lists & also makes TBPL starring easier for cases where multiple suggestions are shown for the same test (and reduces chances of mis-starring old failures with new).
