Hi, It looks like there are intermittent, but frequent, failures in the devstack-gate. This suggests a non-deterministic bug has crept into some piece of OpenStack software.
In this kind of situation, certainly could keep re-approving changes in the hope that they will pass the test and merge, but it would be better to fix the underlying problem. Simply re-approving is mostly just going to make the queue longer. Note that the output from Jenkins has changed recently. I've seen some people misconstrue some normal parts of the test process as errors. In particular, this message from Jenkins is not an error: Looks like the node went offline during the build. Check the slave log for the details. That's a normal part of the way the devstack-gate tests run, where we add a machine to Jenkins as a slave, run the tests, and remove it from the list of slaves before it's done. This is to accommodate the one-shot nature of devstack based testing. It doesn't interfere with the results. To find out why a test failed, you should scroll up a bit to the devstack exercise output, which normally looks like this: ********************************************************************* SUCCESS: End DevStack Exercise: ./exercises/volumes.sh ********************************************************************* ===================================================================== SKIP boot_from_volume SKIP client-env SKIP quantum SKIP swift PASS aggregates PASS bundle PASS client-args PASS euca PASS floating_ips PASS sec_groups PASS volumes ===================================================================== Everything after that point is test running boilerplate. I'll add some echo statements to that effect in the future. Finally, it may be a little difficult to pinpoint when this started. A number of devstack-gate tests have passed recently without actually running any tests, due to an issue with one of our OpenStack based node providers. We are eating our own dogfood. -Jim _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
