You may have noticed that the time to wait for macosx test results on try has been very long (>1day) this week.
[tracking] macosx test load is unsustainable https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1386625 There are several factors that contributed to this situation. 1) Additional macosx stylo tests were enabled on trunk which added significant test load to a system already running at capacity 2) These tests were enabled before some optimizations were in place to reduce the number of tests run per push 3) Since jobs on try have a lower priority than jobs on trunk, the trunk jobs continue to consume the the mac test machine capacity before it can be used by try jobs We have taken the following steps to address this problem 1) I have disabled the mac stylo tests on m-i to reduce load ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1386625) 2) The optimizations have been enabled for autoland and m-i branches so all the tests are not run on every push for the new stylo tests ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1386405) 3) Patches are in progress to disable some non-e10s tests to further reduce load (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1386689) We will continue to monitor the situation and implement additional measures to allow macosx test runs on try to complete in a more reasonable interval.
