847471 - Add win8 to every branch except mozilla-esr17, b2g18 and b2g18_v1.0.1 (also ride the trains for m-b & m-r)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P1)

Description

[Armen [:armenzg]]

I assume it would be fine to add it to mozilla-aurora, mozilla-beta and mozilla-release as long as we hide the jobs that are orange *AND* we unhide them on every merge day (we should add a note in our code).

I want to enable closer to everywhere to have a better understanding of what our load would be.

I don't know at what time we should do this bug.
If we should wait until we have cleared up most oranges (bug 847447).

Tomcat, this can be adjusted in here:
http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/file/default/mozilla-tests/config.py#l1286

I think I would use a tuple like this (instead of using sets):
("mozilla-release", "mozilla-esr17", "mozilla-b2g18", "mozilla-b2g18_v1_0_1")

Hi Tomcat,
When you work on this bug, you can try to figure out if your patch works correctly by following this:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/ReleaseEngineering:TestingTechniques#config.py_is_executable.21

You can also do:
./setup-master.py master bm15-tests1-windows
buildbot checkconfig master
buildbot start master
It might need you to do this as well:
sudo mkdir /dev/shm
sudo chown `whoami` /dev/shm
and then, after you start the master, you can load up the webview:
http://localhost:8201/builders

This can let you see what the differences are before your changes and after your changes.

There are more testing techniques on that page but that first one should be good for now.

I use the following one but it can take a while:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/ReleaseEngineering:TestingTechniques#builder_list.py_.2F_dump_master.py

I want to add more load on the machines and show those tests that are green.
All other tests will be hidden.

Ugh, that gets uglier the more branches we add to it. At least it goes away eventually.
