a correction to CLOBBERin’ time

the correct path for the clobber files is mozilla/tools/tinderbox-configs/firefox/$platform/CLOBBER. Not mozilla/testing/… as I posted earlier.
Watch this space for further updates!

It’s CLOBBERin’ time!

That’s right, gentle reader, the unit test boxes (qm-rhel02, qm-winxp01 and qm-xserve01) are now supporting Tinderbox’ clobber support. Updating the contents of (or just touching) mozilla/tools/tinderbox-configs/firefox/$platform/CLOBBER (where $platform is in [macosx, linux, win32]) will cause mozilla/objdir to be deleted. Ideally, you should include a short note in the CLOBBER file about why you’re clobbering. This [...]

qm-winxp01 going down for upgrades and maintenance

I’m taking qm-winxp01 offline for some TLC. On the menu:

mozillabuild
buildbot, twisted, python upgrades

Hopefully we’ll have it back up in a couple of hours.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Yesterday, while doing some updates to the machines in the test farm, I noticed something a little funny on qm-winxp01:
The pagefile allocation had ballooned to 1.27GB, while the physical memory on the machine only had 574MB out of 2GB left to it. That was some serious fragmentation. I took a snapshot of the process list [...]

Buildbot Testfarm going down for updates

Sorry for the short notice. I’m taking the ‘bots offline for a few minutes to make a change to the reftest summary reported on Tinderbox — now it will show number of tests passing / tests failed / tests known to fail, similar to mochitests’ numbers. Tests known to fail have been removed from the [...]

qm-winxp01 dep unit test going down for RAM upgrade today

The unit test box (with the name you can tap your foot to) is going offline for a RAM and processor upgrade today. We’re hoping to decrease build times on it for even more rapid test cycling.

I’m sure they were here a minute ago…

The testfarm buildbots have been moved to the main Firefox tree on Tinderbox and given spiffy new names. They are now known as “Linux qm-rhel02 dep unit test”, “MacOSX Darwin 8.8.4 qm-xserve01 dep unit test” and “WINNT 5.1 qm-winxp01 dep unit test”. Sure rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?
We haven’t really nailed-down what it means [...]

buildbot testfarm: 1 week later

One week later and the OS X test box turns green just in time for the long weekend. It didn’t happen by magic. Rob Sayre graciously donated some of his busy schedule to help track down an error in the configuration files. If I weren’t so happy it was fixed, I’d be feeling a little [...]

it’s the little things

That little page was my first view of the new testing buildbots living in the Mozilla colocation facility. It may not look like much yet, but it’s overflowing with potential. What does it do, you wonder? It runs test-enabled builds, then runs make check, reftest and mochitest. From the three columns, you might infer that [...]
