QA (public) » openQA Project (public)

Motivation¶

We have the new "force_result" openQA feature (see #95479) and there is auto-review which allows to automatically comment on jobs. As an alternative to retriggering on sporadic issues we can use auto-review to change the result of jobs showing known acceptable failures. This allows to mark failures that should be ignored for an auto-approval process, e.g. as used by qa-maintenance/bot-ng, while ensuring that there is an according open ticket to properly fix the failures. Additionally this allows to search easily for jobs related to tickets.

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: tickets with a special command in the subject line can change the job result of openQA jobs
• AC2: The "retry" command of auto-review still works
• AC3: jobs with changed results still have a reference to the according tickets

Suggestions¶

• Extend https://github.com/os-autoinst/scripts/blob/master/openqa-label-known-issues to also parse commands like :force_result:softfailed which should trigger a comment including label:force_result:softfailed:poo#<id> with <id> referring back to originating ticket
