Test process

Process

We center Mer contribution around our Gerrit instance and git, http://monster.tspre.org:8080 . Every single package is in git and the Core (+ ports) is described in xml files inside a git repository.

Terms

QA build server: OBS that does builds to verify if sources work okay

Code review: ssh -p 29418 username@monster.tspre.org gerrit review PATCHSET -m "Message" --code-review SCORE

When a change to a package is done =

Step X: Checking if it builds on it's own

1. Create unique OBS repository, REPO

2. Create package (basename of project/packagename) in REPO

3. Locally, check out git (GERRIT/project/packagename) and merge proposed change from branch. Change ref can be found with 'ssh -p 29418 username@monster.tspre.org gerrit query status:merged --patch-sets --format JSON' (status:merged can be any kind of query) and it will give you patchsets + refs.

4. Upload sources to OBS package in REPO

5. Point to repositories in REPO:

for each ARCH, ARCHSCHEDULER, add in

<repository name="Core_ARCH">
 <path repository="Core_ARCH" project="fakeobs:Core:ARCH" />
 <arch>ARCHSCHEDULER</arch>
</repository>

6. Wait for build to finish of package for each architecture. For 'succeeded' build, code review with +1 "Looks good to me, but someone else must approve", for failed, code review with -1 "I would prefer that you didn't submit this" along with URL to build log,. For 'excluded', report which architecture in comment with 0, no score.

Step X+1: Integration testing

This will check the package does not break other packages.

For each ARCH, ARCHSCHEDULER:

1. Create unique OBS repository, REPO

2. Create package (basename of project/packagename) in REPO

3. Locally, check out git (GERRIT/project/packagename) and merge proposed change from branch. Change ref can be found with 'ssh -p 29418 username@monster.tspre.org gerrit query status:merged --patch-sets --format JSON' (status:merged can be any kind of query) and it will give you patchsets + refs.

4. Upload sources to OBS package in REPO

5. Set up localdep:

<link project="fakeobs:Core:ARCH" />
<repository name="Core_ARCH" linkedbuild="localdep">
 <path repository="Core_ARCH" project="fakeobs:CORE:ARCH" />
 <arch>ARCHSCHEDULER</arch>
</repository>

6. Wait for it to finish building. If there is 'failed' packages, review to gerrit -1 "I would prefer that you didn't submit this", along with which packages it broke and URLs to their build logs, else +1 "Looks good to me, but someone else must approve"

7. Delete project REPO
