QA » openQA Project

QCOW images in OpenQA occasionally get corrupted because multiple jobs try to publish the same file at the same time, either due to PUBLISH_* setting misconfiguration or duplicate install jobs scheduled in parallel. For example, this job failed to start:
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/8162749

because these three install jobs finished 20 minutes apart and tried to upload the same QCOW image:
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/8162347
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/8161501
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/8160547

Please add some sort of protection against asset clobbering via PUBLISH_* variables:

• two jobs must not publish the same file in parallel
• jobs must not publish a file while another job may be downloading the previous version
• PUBLISH_* misconfiguration (e.g. copy-paste mistakes among multiple testsuites) should be detected and reported in the WebUI, for example as the reason why install job was terminated
