Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/55773 ## Junio C Hamano, 2021-05-25 22:25 Subject: CI: 'seen' minus a few passes tests, eh, almost Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/xmqqcztecuy7.fsf%40gitster.g ``` It is sad that the tip of 'seen' rarely passes all tests these days. I excluded a few topics (chosen primarily by prejudice after looking at which tests failed earlier, without locating exactly where and why they fail) from 'seen' and the exclusion of them seems to have made 'seen' finally pass the tests, eh, almost [*1*]. 82b1e47 is such a "reduced" 'seen' branch, and the CI run for it can be found here: https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/876448385 Excluded are: ab/fsck-unexpected-type hn/reftable hn/refs-errno-cleanup zh/ref-filter-raw-data Any of these may not be broken by themselves, and it could be that the tests may still pass even if one or some of them are merged on top of 82b1e47 and the problem may manifest only when two or more of these topics in certain combinations are merged to 'seen'. The CI run for 'seen' with all these four topics merged back can be found here: https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/876534959 [Footnote] *1* Except for "git repack" segfaults only in one of the tests: https://github.com/git/git/runs/2669668815?check_suite_focus=true#step:5:2846 ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2021-05-26 05:32 Subject: Re: CI: 'seen' minus a few passes tests, eh, almost Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/xmqqzgwiawm4.fsf%40gitster.g In-Reply-To: ``` Junio C Hamano writes: > It is sad that the tip of 'seen' rarely passes all tests these days. > > I excluded a few topics (chosen primarily by prejudice after looking > at which tests failed earlier, without locating exactly where and > why they fail) from 'seen' and the exclusion of them seems to have > made 'seen' finally pass the tests, eh, almost [*1*]. > ... > Excluded are: > > ab/fsck-unexpected-type > hn/reftable > hn/refs-errno-cleanup > zh/ref-filter-raw-data > > ... > [Footnote] > > *1* Except for "git repack" segfaults only in one of the tests: > > https://github.com/git/git/runs/2669668815?check_suite_focus=true#step:5:2846 Just with a hunch, I further excluded tb/multi-pack-bitmaps from 'seen', in addition to these four topics. It seems to pass the whole test suite on both 32- and 64-bit build combinations. https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/877225207 Except that vs-build sometimes fails to download the sdk, that is. ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2021-05-26 06:07 Subject: Re: CI: 'seen' minus a few passes tests, eh, almost Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/xmqqtumqauz3.fsf%40gitster.g In-Reply-To: ``` Junio C Hamano writes: > Junio C Hamano writes: > >> It is sad that the tip of 'seen' rarely passes all tests these days. >> >> I excluded a few topics (chosen primarily by prejudice after looking >> at which tests failed earlier, without locating exactly where and >> why they fail) from 'seen' and the exclusion of them seems to have >> made 'seen' finally pass the tests, eh, almost [*1*]. >> ... >> Excluded are: >> >> ab/fsck-unexpected-type >> hn/reftable >> hn/refs-errno-cleanup >> zh/ref-filter-raw-data >> >> ... >> [Footnote] >> >> *1* Except for "git repack" segfaults only in one of the tests: >> >> https://github.com/git/git/runs/2669668815?check_suite_focus=true#step:5:2846 > > Just with a hunch, I further excluded tb/multi-pack-bitmaps from > 'seen', in addition to these four topics.

And https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/877379968 tests the above with hn/refs-errno-cleanup added back. The usual tests all seem to pass, even though vs-build fails to download the sdk. ``` ## Taylor Blau, 2021-05-26 14:39 Subject: Re: CI: 'seen' minus a few passes tests, eh, almost Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/YK5dubBcSwm9c4Ta%40nand.local In-Reply-To: ``` On Wed, May 26, 2021 at 02:32:19PM +0900, Junio C Hamano wrote: > Just with a hunch, I further excluded tb/multi-pack-bitmaps from > 'seen', in addition to these four topics.

Thanks for letting me know. I have accumulated a few local changes that I wanted to include in a reroll of that topic, but I was waiting on other reviewer eyes before sending it. I should be able to spend some more time pushing that topic forward after the release. There are a few other patch series waiting on it from GitHub, too. Thanks, Taylor ``` ## ZheNing Hu, 2021-05-26 15:02 Subject: Re: CI: 'seen' minus a few passes tests, eh, almost Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAOLTT8SEmb6AXQPie7oYK8FruC2-9_yytojYYKxkVWLpks246A%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Junio C Hamano 于2021年5月26日周三 上午6:25写道： > > It is sad that the tip of 'seen' rarely passes all tests these days. > > I excluded a few topics (chosen primarily by prejudice after looking > at which tests failed earlier, without locating exactly where and > why they fail) from 'seen' and the exclusion of them seems to have > made 'seen' finally pass the tests, eh, almost [*1*]. > > 82b1e47 is such a "reduced" 'seen' branch, and the CI run for it can > be found here: > > https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/876448385 > > Excluded are: > > ab/fsck-unexpected-type > hn/reftable > hn/refs-errno-cleanup > zh/ref-filter-raw-data > Hi, Junio, I find my patch may cause some bug: I ignored those blobs with no content (objectsize == 0) before, Some things about "--sort=contents:raw" need to be changed. so please remove my patch from `seen`. -- ZheNing Hu ``` ## Jeff King, 2021-05-26 15:53 Subject: Re: CI: 'seen' minus a few passes tests, eh, almost Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/YK5u%2FqxFJUr9d%2FqS%40coredump.intra.peff.net In-Reply-To: ``` On Wed, May 26, 2021 at 10:39:53AM -0400, Taylor Blau wrote: > On Wed, May 26, 2021 at 02:32:19PM +0900, Junio C Hamano wrote: > > Just with a hunch, I further excluded tb/multi-pack-bitmaps from > > 'seen', in addition to these four topics.

I think the best thing in a situation like this (where reviewers like me have been very slow to respond) is to repost it explaining the situation. That makes it clear what the current state is, and brings it to the forefront of the list's attention (both reviewers you'd expect to look at it, but people in general). Doing that too often can be obnoxious, of course, but after 6-8 weeks saying "hey, this didn't get attention; can anybody take a look at it?" is perfectly reasonable. > I should be able to spend some more time pushing that topic forward > after the release.

But yeah, waiting until after the release is good, to keep attention on regression fixes in the meantime. -Peff ``` ## Taylor Blau, 2021-05-26 16:48 Subject: Re: CI: 'seen' minus a few passes tests, eh, almost Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/YK5754JqOUXL%2F%2B%2FL%40nand.local In-Reply-To: ``` On Wed, May 26, 2021 at 11:53:34AM -0400, Jeff King wrote: > On Wed, May 26, 2021 at 10:39:53AM -0400, Taylor Blau wrote: > > > On Wed, May 26, 2021 at 02:32:19PM +0900, Junio C Hamano wrote: > > > Just with a hunch, I further excluded tb/multi-pack-bitmaps from > > > 'seen', in addition to these four topics.

Indeed, but I had been putting even doing that off. I've had some sporadic time off in the last few months (as you know) and so usually by the time that I'm back enough other stuff has accumulated that I don't feel like adding more to the list by encouraging further review. So the topic (and my participation on the list in general) has kind of languished, but I'm hoping that since things have mostly cooled down for me outside of work that I'll be able to participate and submit patches more consistently.

I have a patch series to help with that (at least a little bit), but I am holding it until after v2.32.0. Ciao, Dscho ```
