Eyal Edri commented on OVIRT-2664:
----------------------------------
I'm not sure I agree with the reason for not finding regressions due to the
job, the failure was reported on rhev-devel list, with specific relevant people
in the 'to' field, including you Nir, on the 23/1.
Also, developers are often capable and mindful people and should be aware which
version they are testing, regardless of the default values.
The default is usually set for the last stable release, hence it was 4.2, I
agree it should be the master if its much more common now ( probably 4.3 more
relevant once its out ).
I sent a patch to update the default to 'master'

> OST runs engine 4.2 by default, misleading developers

> Key: OVIRT-2664
> URL: https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-2664
> Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy
> Issue Type: By-EMAIL
> Reporter: Nir Soffer
> Assignee: infra
>
> When creating OST manual job, the UI select engine version 4.2 by default:
> https://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-system-tests_manual/build?delay=0sec
> A developer that want to test engine master must change the version
> manually.
> I you forget to change the version, or just do not notice that there is
> engine
> version to choose, your job may succeed when it actually fail with engine
> master.
> Watching other developers start OST jobs, they do not notice that engine
> version must be selected, and treat it as the other options that most people
> do not care about.
> This is probably the reason why OST was broken for a week, and nobody
> complained about it, since default build used engine 4.2.
> How to fix:
> - The UI must be changed to require engine version selection. You cannot
> have default for this.
> The UI should show something like:
> ENGINE_VERSION: [select version] *required
> - The "Build" button must be disabled if no version was selected.
