[gmx-developers] master post-submit breakage

[Schulz, Roland]

Hi,

Is it possible to trigger the post submit job for a specific hash/refspec? I would be surprised if the issue isn’t because of b9057925955f066. I tried to trigger for refs/changes/20/6720/8 (refspec of parent) but it didn’t build any configurations.

Hi,

Agreed. I just don't know how to make it work well.

Obviously Redmine exists for its purpose :-)

Hi,

I think it's identifying that there is an issue to fix and having a record of that that somewhere is quite important (so that someone else noticing failing post-submit can go somewhere to check for known issues).

Recording known issues and with the commit or date/CI infrastructure change that triggered it would also be helpful for the unavoidable case of compoound post-submit failure scenarios.

Therefore, unless we have a clear way to track in Jenkins what and when broke as well as new breakage, I filing redmine a issue(s) still seems the best option.

Cheers,

Hi,

Relevant are that we have had some recent fixes for ARM, and some more sensitivity for SIMD tests, and some changed maths implementations, and maybe the merges from release-2016. The last reported successful build (and its neighbours in the commit history) does not suggest anything to me (neither releng history), but we have had several issues leading to failures in post-submit, and some of them were happening at the same time.

Policy is that if we identify what patch caused an issue and there's no fix available, then we will revert so that we don't get into the multiple-failures quagmire. However that means we need people to be vigilant about fixing issues in their code, and reviewing those fixes. Some email alerts would be good, but I haven't seen any. Please see what you find!

Hi,

Some SIMD and math unit test have been broken for about a month. A quick search have not showed any redmine issue on this. Is anybody aware of the issue, perhaps working on fixing it? Can we have a redmine?

Additionally, especially if this has gone ignored (or worse unnoticed) for a month, we to instate a notification mechanism. I'm not sure authors of upstream triggers can be correctly detected in matrix jobs, but I'll enable some options and we shall see.

Cheers,
