834921 - Don't make builds on platforms that doesn't run the requested tests anyway (to save resources)

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Mats Palmgren (inactive)]

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. push something to Try to run shiny new crashtests with:
try: -b do -p all -u crashtest,crashtest-ipc,crashtest-2,crashtest-3 -t none

ACTUAL RESULTS
https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=f4cad60bbbc7

Apparently we don't run crashtests on B2G and some Androids.
Doing those builds were a waste of resources.

No, I shouldn't need to know in advance the exact set of tests that we
run on each platform by default this particular week.  :-)

For the exception that you actually want the builds anyway, you could
add a --build-even-when-requested-test-is-not-run option, or some such.

We're not going to fix this in the existing try parser.
