Hello Everyone, tl;dr You should now see "L10n" jobs on treeherder with many pushes, these are tier 1 and if they break they would also be breaking Nightly so your patch would need to be backed out.
As many of you know, especially the old guard [1] here, Localized Repacks have frequently been known to fail in weird and interesting ways on Nightly and Beta builds. Throughout the movement to taskcluster we have been reducing the differences in automation to make what we ship to release users happen with the same process as what we ship to nightly users. We have recently achieved that parity now that we have finished our migration to taskcluster [2] One straggler was on our implementation of L10n builds on try [3][4] which had begun to frequently fail when users add/remove any localized file (.dtd or .ftl). And similarly we have always lacked the ability to easily vet a change to central/inbound/autoland as "will this break l10n". With the work I've now done we have aligned this "try" l10n job with what we perform in the Nightly and Release Promotion process, as well as allowed ourselves the ability to run these on every push. Implementation details: * For now these still run only when a subset of files change [5] but this list can be expanded easily, or we can rip it out and instead *always* run these jobs. * These jobs are performed using live L10n repositories, but just a small set of our total localization, specifically: en-CA, he, it, ja, ja-JP-mac [6] * As part of doing this work, we needed to specify the STUB Installer differently, if we need it on any new channels/builds we need to specify it in the build taskcluster kind, like [7]. We have a check in configure to error if its not set correctly [8] If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me/releng. ~Justin Wood (Callek) [1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Guard [2] - https://atlee.ca/blog/posts/migration-status-3.html [3] - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=848284 [4] - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1458378 [5] - https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/annotate/d7472bf663bd/taskcluster/ci/l10n/kind.yml#l177 [6] - https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/d2f587986a3b [7] - https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/diff/e250856b4688/taskcluster/ci/build/windows.yml [8] - https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/a562a809e8dc _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
