Hey, this got amended a little while ago, if you're in one of these teams [1] you can trigger tests for a new package
[1] https://git.launchpad.net/autopkgtest- cloud/tree/charms/focal/autopkgtest-web/webcontrol/request/submit.py#n39 ** Changed in: autopkgtest (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Canonical's Ubuntu QA, which is subscribed to autopkgtest in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1987121 Title: Can't trigger tests if the package never had tests before Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I'm unsure if this is the right place to file this bug, as it's a server-side issue. Specifically what happened, is that I added DEP8 tests to a package that never had DEP8 tests before, uploaded it to a ppa, and tried to trigger a test run with this url: http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/request.cgi?release=kinetic&arch=amd64&package=libp11&ppa=ahasenack/libp11-update&trigger=libp11/0.4.12-0ubuntu1~ppa4 The reply from the server was: You submitted an invalid request: Package libp11 does not have any test results Bryce investigated it a bit and found this code: def is_valid_package_with_results(self, release, arch, package): """Check if package exists and has any results on that release+arch Use this for validating *tested* packages (not triggers, as they don't necessarily have tests themselves). """ c = self.db_con.cursor() if release: c.execute('SELECT count(arch) FROM test ' 'WHERE package=? AND arch=? AND release=?', (package, arch, release)) else: c.execute('SELECT count(arch) FROM test ' 'WHERE package=? AND arch=?', (package, arch)) return c.fetchone()[0] > 0 ... if not self.is_valid_package_with_results(None if (ppas or skip_result_check) else release, arch, package): raise ValueError('Package %s does not have any test results' % package) Where it looks like the server is checking a local database, and not the package that is being used in the test, and as a consequence, if the package never had DEP8 tests before, they won't be attempted, even if the package now has them.
