Investigation jobs run because of the lack of automatic takeover

Observation¶

Several investigations jobs were scheduled for a test which was known to fail because of a particular issue:

https://openqa.suse.de/tests/8733778#comments

The "Next & Previous" jobs show that an issue was linked before.

In general label carry over still works, e.g. find the first flash or bug icon on https://openqa.suse.de/tests?resultfilter=Failed ending up (at time of writing) https://openqa.suse.de/tests/8733874#comments showing a carried over progress ticket reference

• okurz checked the audit log, only "job_create" events are mentioned on https://openqa.suse.de/admin/auditlog for the job id 8733778

The takeover from https://openqa.suse.de/tests/8721258 to https://openqa.suse.de/tests/8725954 simply did not happen because the set of failed modules did not match (check_registercloudguest and instance_overview vs. check_registercloudguest and patch_and_reboot). It also did not match for any further failed jobs.

Suggestions¶

• Investigate this quickly while the logs are fresh and hot
• The bug reference from the existing job wasn't taken over
• Comments were only counted as comments
