Recent and upcoming Try Server changes

Ben Hearsum — Fri, 15 May 2009 14:11:26 GMT

This morning I landed bug 486567 - which cleaned up the try server code significantly. There's still more to be done there, particularly running unittests on packaged builds once it's production counterpart lands (bug 383136). Both of these things help us keep the Try Server in sync with the rest of the world - which has always been a problem. Looking forward a little bit, I'm looking to land a patch that enables e-mail notification for try server builds and unit tests on Tuesday. With this patch, every try submission would result in 6 e-mails to the submitter: (1 per platform/build type combination). Here's what they'll look like: Build: Your Try Server build (try-1c170baeac1) was successfully completed on linux. It should be available for download at http://build.mozilla.org/tryserver-builds/bhearsum@mozilla.com-try-1c170baeac1 Visit http://hg.mozilla.org/MozillaTry to view the full logs. Unit test: Your Try Server unit test (try-1c170baeac1) completed with warnings on linux. It should be available for download at http://build.mozilla.org/tryserver-builds/bhearsum@mozilla.com-try-1c170baeac1 Summary of unittest results: check: 2/0 Visit http://hg.mozilla.org/MozillaTry to view the full logs. (The unittest e-mails will have the full results listed, of course). E-mail notification has been an oft requested feature so I'm really excited that this will be landing soon.

[repost] Try Server Update - Building from mozilla-central with a patch is now possible!

Not much else to say - bug 437143 (try servers need to support building from a mercurial repository with a patch) has been fixed. You can now submit patches against HG repositories with a patch. Many thanks to Vlad, who did most of the work on this.

On April 21, 2008 between 5am and 7am PDT the Try Server will be down for maintenance. For the curious, details of the work are in bug 428308. The Mozilla2 and Mobile Buildbots will also be down for migration to a new host. Details of this work are in bug 429562. If there's any reason we can't go ahead with this please e-mail release@mozilla.org.

Try Server Symbol Server

Ben Hearsum — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 17:28:18 GMT

As of earlier today, the try server began uploading windows debugging symbols to a symbol server. For those of you interested in debugging your Windows try server builds you can follow the same instructions listed on devmo replacing http://symbols.mozilla.org/firefox with http://build.mozilla.org/tryserver-symbols. (For posterity, this information is also recorded on the try server wiki page. Any problems discovered should be filed (as always) in Webtools:Try Server.

Try Server Updates

Ben Hearsum — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 20:00:53 GMT

There's been some small but important updates to the Try Server the past week. Here's a list!:

One additional Windows slave and one additional Linux slave were added. This should reduce the length of time it takes to get your patches tested.
configure.in changes can now be tested.
The build timeouts were bumped up to an hour (of inactivity). This will allow builds that take a long time to link libxul (such as WPO optimizations) to build successfully.
A Bugzilla Webtools::Try Server component has been created. Any future Try Server bugs should be filed there.
