-----------------------------------
Summary: [Developer] Provide better visibility for failed nightly
builds
Key: ARROW-8043
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8043
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Continuous Integration, Developer Tools
Affects Versions: 0.16.0
Reporter: Ben Kietzman
Assignee: Ben Kietzman
Fix For: 1.0.0
Emails reporting nightly failures are unsatisfactory in two ways: there is a
large click/scroll distance between the links presented in that email and the
actual error message. Worse, once one is there it's not clear what JIRAs have
been made or which of them are in progress.
One solution would be to replace or augment the [NIGHTLY] email with a page
(https://ursa-labs.github.org/crossbow would be my favorite) which shows how
many nights it has failed, a shortcut to the actual error line in CI's logs,
and useful views of JIRA. We could accomplish this with:
- dedicated JIRA tags; one for each nightly job so a JIRA can be easily
associated with specific jobs
- client side JavaScript to scrape JIRA and update the page dynamically as soon
as JIRAs are opened
- provide automatic and expedited creation of correctly labelled JIRAs, so that
viewers can quickly organize/take ownership of a failed nightly job. JIRA
supports reading form fields from URL parameters, so this would be fairly
straightforward:
