Questions in 'raw' format
{{TableOfContents}} Here are some unanswered questions. FIXTHIS - answer all of the questions on the [[Questions]] page (1 remaining) = Questions = == Fuego questions == == Jenkins questions == * why does the Exclusion administration page have all tests dependent on $JOB_NAME? = Answers = == Questions that were answered == * How does a job get the result of "unstable" or "aborted", in the Jenkins interface? * the job result has to be changed by some entity. Jenkins does not detect 'unstable' itself. * 'unstable' is intended to reflect a build that maybe only partially completed. Something went wrong somewhere, but the build results may still be usable. * what is postbuild.groovy used for in Fuego 1.0? * It was used to set the job description in the build.xml file * Benchmark.dbench failed on 5/13/16 due to postbuild.groovy problem * how can I easily make a change in fuego inside the container (say to a test script), and then push it to my fuego-core repository outside the container? * should I write a script to set up my own tools to work in the container? * yes - see ~/work/fuego/setup-container-git.sh * how does ovgen.py work? * see [[Overlay Generation]] * how does Jenkins know whether a fuego test succeeded or failed * See [[Fuego test results determination]] * what does the notepad icon mean in the 0.History tab on the home dashboard screen? * It means that the test run has a build.description, and the notepad is a link to that. * This view is a "Latest tests run" portlet, provided by the Dashboard-view plugin, with the 0.History pane configured by Cogent Embedded. * See: [[Dashboard_view#the_0.History_notepad_icon_mystery]] for details * how does Jenkins know the path to the jobs directory under /home/jenkins/fuego jobs? * there's a symlink from /var/lib/jenkins/jobs to /home/jenkins/fuego/jobs * Jenkins creates the build.xml file, and the symlinks for the build number, and last*Build files * see also: [[build.xml]] * what plugins are installed in Jenkins in fuego, and what are they used for. * see [[Jenkins Plugins]] * How can you see the devlog, systemlog and test log for a test? * If you go to http://localhost:8090/fuego/userContent you can see the directories that are in /var/lib/jenkins/userContent. This include fuego.logs, which is a symlink to /home/jenkins/logs * why are there so many instances and links to tests.info? * Answer: Bad design. * Answer2: all the symlinks were removed in Fuego 1.1 * which of tests.info is used by the plotting feature? * inside the container, you can find tests.info at: * 1. /fuego-core/logs/tests.info (the one from fuego-core git repository) * mod.js used to reference tests.info, but as of Fuego 1.1 it now references metrics.json inside /fuego-core/logs/<test-name>/ directory. == Questions answered, but not documented elsewhere in the wiki yet == * why is the log not copied for Functional.hello_world.log (on test failure on Sep 1) * because the test program itself returned failure. It should only indicate failure in the log, and return success * or, the test script should force success after the test runs * FIXTHIS - document that test programs should exit with 0 indicating a successful run, even if what they are testing failed. Exit of non-zero indicates a failure of test infrastructure, not failure of the test.
