<div dir="ltr">TLDR: If you care about Selenium tests that run daily[1], please take
ownership of repository (or repositories) that you care about.<br><br>Our Selenium tests provide useful feedback, finding problems in several places, when there is something wrong with:<br><br>#1 the repository they are testing (broken production or test code),<br>#2 beta and/or production clusters,<br>#3 continuous integration.<br><br>It is really important that all tests that run daily are green all the time. I have started cleaning up tests[2-3].<br><br>If
there is a failure, we have to investigate and fix it as soon as
possible, ideally in one business day. To be able to do that, we need
contact information for each repository. I have started collecting
contact details [3] from various sources.<br><br>What does taking
ownership mean? Your e-mail address will be added to Jenkins job
repository configuration[4] and you will receive one e-mail a day per
repository and job, but only if there are any failed jobs. In short, if
you are an owner of one repository with one job, you will receive 0-2
e-mails a day, depending on the stability of the job. It will be your
responsibility to fix the job. If you need help, I will be glad to help.<br><br>The
contact e-mail address can be one or more people, or a team mailing
list. All I need is a reply if I send an e-mail message to that address,
without having to be a member of a lot of mailing lists.<br><br>Jobs
for repositories without contact person will be running while they are
passing, and will be deleted when they start failing.<br><br>To become a contact person, submit a patch[4] or let me know off-list.<br><br>Questions? Comments? Please do let me know.<br><br>Ċ½eljko<br>--<br>1: <a href="https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/view/Selenium/">https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/view/Selenium/</a><br>2: <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T94150">https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T94150</a><br>3: <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128190">https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128190</a><br>4: <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/CICF/browse/master/jjb/selenium.yaml$1-18">https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/CICF/browse/master/jjb/selenium.yaml$1-18</a></div>
