838789 - Release builds trigger tests too many times

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Release Automation: Other, defect)

Description

[Phil Ringnalda (:philor)]

Looking at http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/candidates/None-candidates/buildNone/logs/?C=M;O=D I thought we were triggering two or three sets of the same test suite, but looking at https://secure.pub.build.mozilla.org/buildapi/pending for the ones that haven't been picked up yet, I see that we're actually triggering five.

That's far too many, considering how never anyone actually looks at them. Does help explain why we always get a huge backlog of jobs for other branches throughout the entire day when there's a release build, though.

We should dial this down to 1 time. I almost want to turn them off completely, but that seems wrong...

Attachment: set release tests to 1

Attachment: same for mobile

Just noticed this new file.

But because of bug 836162 you would have been okay missing it, since for now at least we're actually triggering mobile tests zero times.

The first patch is in production, this is fixed (considering the second one is actually no-op).
