Digging in even further, it looks like you’re asking about tests across test pipelines, including some of the platform pipelines. I don’t believe there’s a cohesive way to do that, as some of them require platform-specific parameters (such as the --FlashRom parameter for OvmfPkg).
Can you share the specific PR you’re failing so that we can talk in concrete terms? My guess (from experience failing this myself) is that you are failing the spell check remotely and not running it locally (because Node, npm, or cspell are not installed). It’s possible that we should investigate documenting cross-pipeline and cross-package CI dependencies in a central place. Right now it’s distributed (e.g. did you follow the steps here: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/tree/master/.pytool#spell-checking---cspell). - Bret From: Bret Barkelew via groups.io<mailto:bret.barkelew=microsoft....@groups.io> Sent: Thursday, March 4, 2021 10:22 AM To: devel@edk2.groups.io<mailto:devel@edk2.groups.io>; rebe...@nuviainc.com<mailto:rebe...@nuviainc.com>; ler...@redhat.com<mailto:ler...@redhat.com> Cc: Sean Brogan<mailto:sean.bro...@microsoft.com>; Kinney, Michael D<mailto:michael.d.kin...@intel.com> Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: [edk2-devel] generating the test matrix for local CI runs Thinking further, it will skip some tests if you haven’t installed the prerequisites (e.g. spell check). We could potentially add a single script to install the prerequisites, but then there are the prereqs for the prereqs (e.g. Node). To more clearly address your question, the “tests” that a GitHub CI is broken up into are arbitrary subdivisions of the tests that run locally (when you run “stuart_ci_build” without parameters) so that the workload can be divided amongst the available worker agents. If you were to compare the individual test logs against your local, monolithic test log, you would find that all cases were covered in both (assuming the aforementioned prereqs are installed). - Bret From: Bret Barkelew via groups.io<mailto:bret.barkelew=microsoft....@groups.io> Sent: Thursday, March 4, 2021 9:57 AM To: devel@edk2.groups.io<mailto:devel@edk2.groups.io>; rebe...@nuviainc.com<mailto:rebe...@nuviainc.com>; ler...@redhat.com<mailto:ler...@redhat.com> Cc: Sean Brogan<mailto:sean.bro...@microsoft.com>; Kinney, Michael D<mailto:michael.d.kin...@intel.com> Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: [edk2-devel] generating the test matrix for local CI runs *An* answer is: - There’s a DevOps virtual environment that you can run that will pretend to be a build agent. I played with it years ago, but that was before the CI tooling (and it was years ago) so I don’t know how the capabilities compare. My real answer is: - If you run the three commands -- setup, update, and build -- without any parameters other than your TOOL_CHAIN_TAG, it should run all tests on all packages for that particular OS/toolchain. - Bret From: Rebecca Cran via groups.io<mailto:rebecca=nuviainc....@groups.io> Sent: Thursday, March 4, 2021 9:45 AM To: devel@edk2.groups.io<mailto:devel@edk2.groups.io>; ler...@redhat.com<mailto:ler...@redhat.com> Cc: Sean Brogan<mailto:sean.bro...@microsoft.com>; Bret Barkelew<mailto:bret.barke...@microsoft.com>; Kinney, Michael D<mailto:michael.d.kin...@intel.com> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [edk2-devel] generating the test matrix for local CI runs On 3/4/21 10:04 AM, Laszlo Ersek wrote: > (Sigh, my address book pulled one over me -- resending to the correct > list address now.

FWIW it looks like people have been looking for similar functionality of testing a pipeline locally, and not found it. e.g.: https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fmicrosoft%2Fazure-pipelines-agent%2Fissues%2F1764&data=04%7C01%7Cbret.barkelew%40microsoft.com%7Ce4e5493578cf45b804c608d8df354b05%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637504767278995847%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=XMxZesyKxVN9Wg3SyRpUbnnmKzojevHCqQhzQ1Pc4%2Bg%3D&reserved=0<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fmicrosoft%2Fazure-pipelines-agent%2Fissues%2F1764&data=04%7C01%7CBret.Barkelew%40microsoft.com%7C17527a8762f346729ca508d8df3a3118%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637504789795410853%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=zGzaxR6bPunlm3EY4vW%2BATWI9vaJIe74J87kL0yHQng%3D&reserved=0> https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopercommunity.visualstudio.com%2Ft%2Fyaml-how-to-test-yaml-locally-before-commit%2F1302759&data=04%7C01%7Cbret.barkelew%40microsoft.com%7Ce4e5493578cf45b804c608d8df354b05%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637504767278995847%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=gwGZAQJAIXIS0LODFpglrCf5Ua2JeMnNm3A3auCrhx8%3D&reserved=0<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopercommunity.visualstudio.com%2Ft%2Fyaml-how-to-test-yaml-locally-before-commit%2F1302759&data=04%7C01%7CBret.Barkelew%40microsoft.com%7C17527a8762f346729ca508d8df3a3118%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637504789795420809%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=%2Fwrs35d%2FlFuxjoedyRv2tI%2FWF7h0SsicPfbtgawxIKI%3D&reserved=0> -- Rebecca Cran -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
