At this point, most trees are reopened. Mozilla-inbound is the only one still 
closed a I'm cleaning up failures that are trickling in as Treeherder catches 
up on processing finished jobs. I expect to be done in the next hour or so and 
then reopen mozilla-inbound.

./mach try empty

2017-09-26 Thread KWierso
I've recently landed a new way to push things to the tryserver. With `./mach 
try empty`, mach will just push whatever commits you're working on to try, 
without prompting you for anything and without scheduling any builds or tests. 
Once pushed, you can sign in to Treeherder and manually add whatever jobs you'd 
like via Treeherder's "Add New Jobs" button in the per-push menu.

The tryserver wiki page[1] has a section showing how to manually add jobs to a 
push, with some pictures, if it's helpful.

You'll need to be on a somewhat recent checkout of mozilla-central, and it 
wouldn't hurt to run `./mach mercurial-setup --update` again, though I don't 
believe that's strictly necessary.


Enjoy,
Wes

There's a Treeherder bug on file for providing a view like that.

Just to close the loop here, the DB issues were resolved this morning. Trees 
remained mostly closed while the usual post-extended-closure backlog cleared 
up. All trees were re-opened this afternoon.

I would say adding a link to 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Bug_writing_guidelines (or 
maybe https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/contributors-guide-writing-good-bug 
) in the "More links" section at the bottom of 
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/contribute/ would go a long way toward having a 
better onboarding experience for filing bugs.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/How_to_Submit_a_Patch
 would be the patch for patch submission.

Just as a side note, that "0" in the URL can sometimes be "1" or a higher 
integer if the job had failed in a way that made taskcluster automatically 
retry/rerun the job. (It's the [runId] or [retryId] mentioned up-thread)
