DickJC123 opened a new issue #20888:
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/20888


   ## Description
   **When the unittests are run, the built repo under test is not the PR's HEAD 
commit, it's a merge of master into the PR.**  One nice thing about this is 
that if the PR is accepted, the result of merging the accepted PR into master 
is exactly what was tested.  Also, if a different PR is merged into master that 
fixes test failures, it immediately helps all PR's in development- they don't 
need to merge the new master into the PR to pick up the fix.  Sadly, there's a 
dark side to this: an accepted PR that introduces a flakey test will hamper 
in-development PR's immediately.
   
   We recently had a linkcheck failure fixed on master by PR 
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/20879, but the linkcheck failure 
was not eliminated for in-development PRs.  Only after remerging master into 
the PR did the failure disappear. **Shouldn't the same approach of merging 
master into the PR be used with linkcheck, as it is with the unittests?**
