Hi Antoine,

Thanks for the positive feedback! I'll make a PR to move my documentation edits over to the Quibble repo - thanks for the pointer there.

Happy you like the Quabble script - it's definitely not intended as a long-term solution for anything - I just wrote it as a quick way to get my local setup to do what I wanted. I would be happy to take a look at contributing to Quibble itself and making it a bit more friendly for debugging purposes.

I tried `quibble -c bash` this morning, or more completely I tried:

```

docker run --entrypoint=quibble-with-supervisord     --tmpfs /workspace/db:size=320M         --volume "$(pwd)"/src:/workspace/src    --volume "$(pwd)"/cache:/cache  --volume "$(pwd)"/log:/workspace/log   --volume "$(pwd)"/ref:/srv/git:ro    --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE   --security-opt seccomp=unconfined       --env-file=env-Wikibase-Master-20240410        --init --rm    docker-registry.wikimedia.org/releng/quibble-buster-php74:1.7.0-s1      --packages-source composer      --db mysql --db-dir /workspace/db      --git-parallel=8 -c bash

```

and didn't get a shell. The command just exited immediately:

```

...

INFO:quibble.commands:>>> Start: User commands: bash
INFO:quibble.commands:User commands, working directory: /workspace/src
INFO:quibble.commands:bash
INFO:quibble.commands:<<< Finish: User commands: bash, in 0.006 s
INFO:quibble.commands:Shutting down backends: <ExternalWebserver http://127.0.0.1:9413 /workspace/src> <Xvfb :94> <ChromeWebDriver :94>

...

```

so I'm not sure that addresses my wish to have an interactive debugging environment with the backends running. But maybe I'm doing something wrong there. Pointers welcome.

Will try and get to the documentation this week,

Many thanks,

Arthur

Hello,

That documentation was merely an helper for people maintaining the CI
stack linking to the releasing doc which is in the repository, how to
rebuild the CI and then switch the jobs.

The Quibble manual / user documentation is inside the source repository
under the doc/source directory
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/integration/quibble/+/refs/heads/master/doc/source
.  It ends up being published at https://doc.wikimedia.org/quibble/
which is the canonical place.

The wiki edit at
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Continuous_integration/Quibble&diff=prev&oldid=6476384
<https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Continuous_integration/Quibble&diff=prev&oldid=6476384>
is amazing, and it would be really great to have it moved to the source
repository.  I like the Quabble.py script to pause before running tests,
though one can also ask Quibble to run bash as a test command: `quibble
-c bash`.
