Just wanted to highlight some recent Treeherder changes of interest to
sheriffs and platform developers:
* As of today, we have a completely rewritten logviewer which (among
other things) has vastly improved scrolling behaviour, making it
much faster to diagnose the cause of a failing job. Many thanks to
Eli Perelman and Hassan Ali from the Taskcluster team for generalizing
the Taskcluster logviewer and integrating it into Treeherder. You can
read more about this new logviewer in Hassan's blog post here:
https://helfi92.github.io/2017/01/02/treeherder-new-logviewer.html
* The similar jobs panel is vastly faster than it was before
(accessible after clicking a job). If you wanted to use this feature
before (say, to determine whether a failure is highly intermittent)
but avoided it due to the long waits, please give it another try.
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1246196 for more
details.
* The inaccurately-named-but-still-insanely-cool "one click loaner"
feature, which lets you "check out" a test machine identical to the
ones we use in automation, is now more discoverable. Instead of
trawling through a bunch of mostly irrelevant links, you can now just
click on the "ellipsis" button on the job details panel (see attached
screenshot) for any taskcluster job to get a set of taskcluster
options, including this one. For more information on taskcluster
interactive loaners, please see
https://ahal.ca/blog/2016/taskcluster-interactive-loaner/ (note that
post is a little old, so some of the limitations described
there may no longer apply)
Happy treeherding!
Will
