That's worse than we imagined .. I'm wondering where the flakiness is coming from, just to make sure we do not carry it over with us into the re-written wdio tests. Did you get to figure out a little more why they are flaky already? I know browser tests can waste great amount of effort in getting them working and useful, and at the end of the tunnel one would wonder whether the benefit justifies the costs. So let's do this: 1. timebox this (4 hours?) to figure out where the flakiness coming from. Is it selenium (we use selenium for wdio too)? is it race-conditions between client and server state? or is it just cucumber/capybara? 2. shift focus entirely to re-writing those tests in javascript using wdio, taking with us any useful learnings from 1. @Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE since you've put enough effort into this already, please make the appropriate decision on the above TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T221104 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE, alaa_wmde Cc: hoo, noarave, Aklapper, alaa_wmde, joker88john, CucyNoiD, Nandana, NebulousIris, Gaboe420, Versusxo, Majesticalreaper22, Giuliamocci, Adrian1985, Cpaulf30, Lahi, Gq86, Baloch007, Darkminds3113, Bsandipan, Lordiis, GoranSMilovanovic, Adik2382, Th3d3v1ls, Ramalepe, Liugev6, QZanden, LawExplorer, WSH1906, Lewizho99, Maathavan, _jensen, rosalieper, Jonas, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Lydia_Pintscher, Mbch331
