Parallel test project Status update for May 30, 2012 Overview As warned by the Yellow retrospective meeting minutes from this past Friday, this was a tough couple of weeks for the project. An easy to understand statistic that shows our difficulties is that the last green test run we had was Monday, May 21, nine days ago. In particular, three problems wrecked the schedule and continue to have some echoes even now. Bugs 1004088, 996729 (with fallout friends 1003206 and 1003696), and 1004625 were primarily responsible for our troubles. We’re now down to eight or nine failures, all newly revealed thanks to bug 1004625. Therefore, we did not get anywhere near a 90% green test run, which we had hoped for. We simply didn’t run tests for a big chunk of the period because we knew things were broken. After acknowledging all of these difficulties, it is worth noting that we did meet all of the specific goals from the last report. A highlight there is that Robert, Francis, and IS determined what machines we would purchase, and that is in progress. Additionally, we closed more test failure bugs. Finally, on the slack time front, Francesco created a LEP for lpsetup and gathered feedback about it from the Launchpad team and Robert (https://dev.launchpad.net/LEP/LaunchpadSetupScripts); Graham worked with Laura on a blog post about the Launchpad bug fixing outreach they did at UDS (blog is not yet released); and Benji released a beta package of termbeamer, a GTK terminal broadcaster over a Jabber channel such as GTalk (https://dev.launchpad.net/yellow/Termbeamer). Progress towards biweekly action items [yellow] Bug fixes for test failures discovered in parallel test runs: 992814: could not replicate. Marked incomplete for now. 993510: fixed (frankban) 996720: NO PROGRESS, but should be a simple timing issue 996729: fix failed, causing 1003206 and 1998003696. IN PROGRESS (gmb, frankban) 998040: fixed (benji) 999770: dupe of 996729 1002796: fixed (frankban) 1002820: failed fix so IN PROGRESS (benji, bac) 1003044: fixed (benji) 1003097: fixed (frankban) 1003200: fixed (bac) 1004088: fixed (bac, gmb) 1004625: fixed (bac) Unicode decode error in our buildbot/subunit integration code: done (frankban) Cleaning out old testr runs in our buildbot/testr integration code: (bac) [yellow] Test results of two slaves on same machine, with and without CPU contention: DONE for no contention, attempted for contention, and rejected. [yellow] Continued run record at https://dev.launchpad.net/ParallelTests/ResultsLog. DONE, to the degree that we were able to run them [lifeless, flacoste, et al] Determine boxes desired in data center for tests and arrange for purchase and set up. DONE. Other accomplishments [Francesco] lpsetup LEP, work on lpsetup [Graham] UDS blog [Benji] termbeamer (see summary) Progress on tracked items Completed by others RT 50242 - get a buildbot machine for testing (gnuoy and gary_poster) New and incomplete 998040/593536 (LP/bzr): we need to upgrade LP to a newer bzr. This reportedly has difficulties. Blue squad is investigating. Carried over and incomplete 944386 (kernel): We have a workaround but IS needs a fix. apw said he would look into it. flacoste escalated. 987938 (subunit packaging): jelmer reports that he did it; we need to verify. 985812 (Juju) 959352 (LXC): the workaround is doing better than I had feared, so this is less essential, but I am still afraid this might bite us, so I’m leaving it around for a little bit longer. Goals for next meeting [yellow] Bug fixes for test failures discovered in parallel test runs, particularly those mentioned as in progress above. [yellow] Continued run record at https://dev.launchpad.net/ParallelTests/ResultsLog. [lifeless, flacoste, et al] boxes purchased and configured in data center. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
