#436: SSH access to systems in Beaker lab --------------------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: atodorov | Owner: tflink Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Blocker bug tracker page | Version: Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | --------------------------------------+--------------------- = bug description = Currently systems in Beaker lab can be accessed only through bastion.fp.o which is not as convenient as direct SSH into the system. There's also the question whether or not to open the systems directly to the Internet. This needs to be discussed with infra. Filing here so it doesn't get lost. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/436> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance

openQA: Rawhide needle issues
by Adam Williamson 29 Mar '16

29 Mar '16

Hi folks! We finally got a Rawhide compose with a non-busted anaconda for the first time in a while today. Several of the tests are failing on needle match issues. It seems like rendering of some text elements has changed in Rawhide anaconda. I'm not sure whether the anaconda folks actually want it to look that way now, or if these would be considered rendering errors and they're caused by a GTK+ change or something. I will talk to the anaconda folks about it in the morning (my time) before we go through and create new needles. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

Proposal to CANCEL: 2016-03-28 Fedora QA Devel Meeting
by Tim Flink 27 Mar '16

27 Mar '16

Monday is a holiday in the Czech Republic and that means a lot of folks won't be present - to the point where I don't think it'll be productive to hold a meeting. If there is a topic that you would like to see discussed, reply to this thread with that topic and we can hold the meeting as it would have been scheduled. Tim

openQA update: chained test failures
by Adam Williamson 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Hi folks! So those of you who watch the openQA results might have noticed that for the last month or so, there have been lots of problems with the 'chained' tests - the _base_ tests that run for various of the media after default_install has been run, and use a hard disk snapshot uploaded by default_install. I think I've made some progress on this. I've made one change, and proposed another. The first change: I made it possible to configure openQA's total asset size limit in the Ansible plays for deploying openQA, and set the limit for our deployments to 300GB (the default is 100GB): https://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ansible.git/commit?id=cb7bfcb… (plus a couple of follow-up commits). That's the value that openQA uses for cleaning up old assets: when there's more than that amount of assets, it wipes some. What I suspect was happening there is that since we already have more than 100GB of assets all the time (...depending on exactly how you count, there's some subtlety there) gru was sometimes wiping uploaded disk images as part of the 'remove old assets' task before they could be used. This, I think, accounts for the cases where the chained tests did not run at all, and reported 'setup failure'. The second change: https://phab.qadevel.cloud.fedoraproject.org/D787 . What that does is make it so that tests which upload a disk image try to shut down the VM cleanly before doing so. Without that change, we were actually uploading the disk image file while the virtual machine was still running, I think. I believe that was the cause of the cases where the Server DVD post-install tests ran, but all failed due to the system failing to reach a login prompt at all. I'm hoping with D787 reviewed and applied, almost all openQA tests should be working again. We're left only with the i386 kernel problem and whatever's going wrong with server_kickstart_hdd (I don't *think* that's a corrupt image problem like server_updates_img_local was, I think it may be a genuine bug). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

Proposal to CANCEL: 2016-03-21 Fedora QA Devel Meeting
by Tim Flink 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

I don't have any hugely important topics for the QA Devel meeting this week so instead of taking up 30-60 minutes of everyone's time this week, I propose that the meeting be canceled. If there is a topic that you would like to see discussed, reply to this thread with that topic and we can hold the meeting as it would have been scheduled. Otherwise, I'll sync up with folks about tasks during the week. Tim

Quick update on openQA / check-compose / validation event creation status
by Adam Williamson 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Hey folks! Just so I'm not the only one who knows this, here's a quick update on how all the compose process magic I'm dealing with is working now. We now have three fedmsg-hub consumer implementations: 1. OpenQAConsumer (lives in openqa_fedora_tools) 2. CheckComposeConsumer (lives in fedora-qa/check-compose) 3. RelvalConsumer (lives in fedora-qa/relvalconsumer) The first two are running on the openQA server hosts, installing and enabling them is part of the ansible plays: https://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ansible.git/tree/roles/openqa… https://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ansible.git/tree/roles/check-… The third is running on my web server. This is not for any good reason, it's just because that's where we used to do the same job. It could really run anywhere, we just need to make sure exactly one of its RelvalProductionConsumer instances is running somewhere all the time. All three listen out for the org.fedoraproject.prod.pungi.compose.status.change fedmsgs for Pungi 4 composes and fire when the status is FINISHED or FINISHED_INCOMPLETE. The first two also listen for the org.fedoraproject.prod.compose.23.cloudimg-staging.done messages for two-week Atomic nightly composes, RelvalConsumer does not, because we do not create validation events for those. OpenQAConsumer creates openQA jobs for new composes. Right now we do *not* have anything which reports results to the wiki, because we don't have openQA emitting fedmsgs and we can't have a consumer block for two hours waiting for tests to finish. I'm hoping to get openQA emitting fedmsgs soon; if this turns out to be harder than anticipated, we can use the same hack CheckComposeConsumer uses (see below). CheckComposeConsumer produces the 'compose check' emails. In order to do this, the openQA jobs have to be finished, but we don't have a fedmsg for that. So as a temporary hack, the consumer simply forks off a run of the `check-compose` script, which will wait for the openQA jobs to complete, then send the email. One limitation of this is that if the fedmsg-hub service gets killed or restarted while a check- compose process is sitting there waiting for openQA jobs to finish, the check-compose process gets killed, because it's part of the hub service's cgroup. I haven't found a way to avoid this yet (the attempt in the code only works for process groups, and systemd acts on cgroups). So we can lose mails if we get fedmsg-hub restarts at unfortunate times. RelvalConsumer creates release validation events (i.e. it makes all the wiki pages and sends out an announcement mail). It does exactly the same job that used to be done by a cron job on the same box which ran `relval nightly --if-needed` every day, at a time we hoped the compose was complete. It uses all the same logic, so it should create events on much the same frequency as before. Note it actually *replaces* relval for this task, it does not use it; it actually uses wikitcms directly. Right now, it only handles nightlies. This is because we still haven't decided what milestone composes will look like, so I couldn't write the code to handle them. But once we *do* decide that, I intend to enhance the consumer to handle them, and all compose event creation will entirely automated (we won't have to run relval by hand to create milestone events, as we have had up till now). Longer term I would like to make it so all these things are taskotron tasks, obviously. We just need to work through the process of adding the trigger and resolving the question of how we run the tasks in an environment with the necessary credentials available. -- Adam WilliamsonFedora QA Community MonkeyIRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . nethttp://www.happyassassin.net

Workboards and Sprints
by Tim Flink 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

After talking about the workboards in phabricator during the meeting earlier today, I mentioned trying to figure out a way to have workboards for more than just a single project. I've been futzing around with qadevel-stg today and have a proposal to make. * Keep the existing projects * Remove workboards from at least the Taskotron related projects (libtaskotron, resultsdb, taskotron-trigger etc.) * Create a new project named "QA Devel" which has the same workboard columns as the libtaskotron workboard currently does. The "process" for getting tasks proposed and worked on would then be: 1. add the "QA Devel" tag to the task, putting it on the "backlog" for that project 2. If the task has enough detail to move forward, it can move to "groomed" 3. Immediate priorities are in the "On Deck" column, in priority order from top to bottom 4. In progress and "ready for completion" are pretty self explanatory I'd also like to start a 2 week cadence again. It may go away again as we get closer to F24 final but I think it will help organize things a bit better. Thoughts? Tim
