Hi patchbot-interested folks, I submitted a PR [1] to the sage patchbot to add a feature I would like to have, that re-runs failed tests one or more times. If previously failing tests pass on a repeat attempt then the test is considered "passing". However, I added a new return status called "TestsPassedOnRetry" to distinguish this condition, so that it might still stand out if it's happening constantly, which may still indicate a real problem.
This will help a lot though with transient failures that occur sometimes, especially if tests timeout (e.g. due to the system being under some other load). The addition of the new return status would require an upgrade to the patchbot server if accepted, which is why I'm pointing this out. Thanks, Erik [1] https://github.com/sagemath/sage-patchbot/pull/107 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
