Motivation¶

In #134933 and related tickets openQA gained new features to filter by group_glob including not_group_glob to filter out certain job groups. However it is either not possible or not clear how to filter out groupless jobs, e.g. see https://github.com/os-autoinst/openqa-mon/issues/76 and https://github.com/os-autoinst/openqa-mon/issues/135 . Also mgriessmeier wants to not see the investigation jobs anymore on /tests

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: It is possible to filter out groupless jobs on request using the openQA API
• AC2: A specific suggestion is provided on https://github.com/os-autoinst/openqa-mon/issues/135 how to filter out groupless jobs using the openQA API

Suggestions¶

• Take a look how group_glob is used in https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aos-autoinst%2FopenQA%20group_glob&type=code to understand that it's not too hard to extend that :)
• Extend the openQA API query functionality to filter out groupless jobs applicable for UI queries on /tests and /tests/overview as well
  • Maybe add not_groupid which would behave like not_group_glob except that it takes a group ID and 0 is interpreted as "no group".
  • Maybe tweak the existing groupid parameter to also interpret 0 as "no group" for the sake of consistency.
• Consider extending documentation in github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/tree/master/docs/
• Provide a specific on https://github.com/os-autoinst/openqa-mon/issues/135 how to filter out groupless jobs using the openQA API

Out of scope¶

• No need to read any code of openqa-mon, just make sure that /api/v1/jobs can filter out groupless jobs.
• Take a quick look on https://github.com/os-autoinst/openqa-mon to see the video what openqa-mon is to understand it's really no magic ;)
• Check what query openqa-mon is using exactly (https://github.com/os-autoinst/gopenqa/blob/5f738612588915cb8964da7c6683981ce95c8559/gopenqa.go#L318)
