My "release manager" POV on why jenkins for that particular aspect.
(I'm not against travis (I prefer it greeeen :D) or github action. GA may have
some limitation, AFAIK Airflow own private repo on github to make their
workflow.)
Yes, think we'd all prefer those be greeeen! :-)
I think we have to be careful with our CI usage, on whatever platform.
And it might be time to consider dropping Travis - interesting stuff
from Airflow around all this, eg. at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/Github+Actions+to+DockerHub
GitHub Actions also gives us the widest OS coverage?
My thought would be -
* Migrate important and stable tests to GitHub Actions for PR validation.
* Drop Travis CI.
* Switch on option for tests to pass before PR merge is enabled.
* Look at a nightly verification step on Jenkins for wider testing,
making sure we have good reporting from it.
* Be more proactive about reverting problem PRs (eg. revert, fix,
re-review rather than fix in place in most cases).
github actions make it also easy to selectively trigger certain test
jobs. E.g it could trigger via PR labels, slash commands or parameters
entered in the PR text. There is no need for nodes testing the php
cluster for almost 2x 2h when something in the java editor changes.
i feel like every time i push to a PR someone has to cut down a tree
somewhere and feed it to the testing cluster :)
whatever the new setup will be, a basic requirement for the usefulness
of a CI server is to be able to actually display what failed. Having to
go through a few meters of logs (in a browser) should not be acceptable
for a CI server - it wastes simply too much time over the long term (and
is no fun). I have a PR somewhere with a test failing on travis and
there is no stack trace in the log of that failed test - its certainly
somewhere in a xml but the current travis setup does not display those.
