Y'all
I have put together an initial version of the TC job that pulls in JIRAs in PA
state and find the latest attachment by date. It also creates and artifact
where all earlier processed attachments are listed to avoid duplicated
test runs. The job is here
http://204.14.53.152/viewType.html?buildTypeId=Ignite_PatchValidation_Main
Now, I need some advice from TC experts, as I have no experience with it,
really. The issue I have as this (perhaps, coming from my ignorance about TC):
1. it seems that TC builds can be triggered by creating a special remote
branch in git. That would require a job to do pushed to the git, which I
am no fan of...
2. there might be a way to use some sort of meta-runner that can fetch the
repo, create a branch using provided patch, and then trigger the test-run.
I have no idea how to do it.
3. Some other unknown-unknown functionality, that I am evidently missing?
I would really like someone on this list with TC expertise to tell me what's
the preferred way of performing such workflow? E.g. in Jenkins I can trigger a
remote job with a parameter (JIRA #), which then will download the latest
attachment from it (7 lines of Groovy), apply it to the fresh repo clone and
run the tests. How we can do something like that in TC? Looking for the
guidance and help from this list.
