closed[qe-core][functional][userspace] Unused QA_WEB_REPO, QA_HEAD_REPO, SLENKINS_TESTSUITES_REPO variables added to sle media -> should only be added where necessary
0%
Description
Motivation¶
Current SLE media have
QA_HEAD_REPO=http://dist.nue.suse.com/ibs/QA:/Head/SLE-12-SP2
QA_WEB_REPO=http://dist.suse.de/install/SLP/SLE-12-Module-Web-Scripting-LATEST/x86_64/CD1/
SLENKINS_TESTSUITES_REPO=http://download.suse.de/ibs/Devel:/SLEnkins:/testsuites/SLE_12_SP2/
referencing e.g. http://dist.suse.de/install/SLP/SLE-12-Module-Web-Scripting-LATEST/x86_64/CD1/ which was last changed 2014(!) and in os-autoinst-distri-opensuse I can see it used only in tests/qa_automation/qa_run.pm and I don't even know if it's useful to be added there because the module is not up-to-date. I suggest to not add these variables at all on the medium but only add necessary repos within os-autoinst-distri-opensuse where needed.
QA_HEAD_REPO is used in more locations.
Acceptance criteria¶
- AC: QA_WEB_REPO, QA_HEAD_REPO and SLENKINS_TESTSUITES_REPO are not added to test suites of teams that don't use them
Tasks¶
- Ask in email of who uses the settings
- SLENKINS_TESTSUITES_REPO
- QA_WEB_REPO
- QA_HEAD_REPO
- Proposed those teams to use YAML schedule for their teams to add those settings only to their jobs.

@yosun, @thehejik, @rpalethorpe: Can you comment on this? Can we remove the variables from the medium? Should we move them to corresponding test suites or within os-autoinst-distri-opensuse?
Updated by yosun about 7 years ago
We use only QA_HEAD_REPO and QA_WEB_REPO inside qa_run.pm, and it still in use. It's design for convenience for other product use it. It's OK to change it write those url inside testscript. But I don't see more advantage to remove those parameters than keep them.
I have no experience for SLENKINS_TESTSUITES_REPO.

We have nearly 1k jobs for each build and all jobs have these variables, only a few use them. So my feeling is that there would be less confusion about the purpose if these variables are only where they are used.

I wonder about the version of these repositories. Why do we use QA_HEAD_REPO stating 12-SP2 for testing 12-SP3 and the same for slenkins?

7 years old ticket. Please create new one if issue still current

- Status changed from Rejected to Workable
- Target version deleted (
Milestone 30)
Why should I need to create an exact copy of the ticket? I just checked https://openqa.suse.de/admin/products and the same issue is still present and still valid. I appreciate your cleanup attempt but don't just reject tickets because they are 7 years old.

@okurz but is it really an issue if no one complained about it since 7 years? No escalation or request?
I might have used the wrong words while closing, let me try to rephrase: "No one looked at this in 7 years, no one tried to escalate it. Likely will never work on it, no reason to keep this in the backlog forever"
I would rather have a ticket closed instead of keeping it for another 20 years, but I see others like to user "Low" prio as recycle bin, we can do it as well.
By the way, you are welcome to contribute if you feel like it's something relevant!

Implicitly people complain about this and related issues, e.g. when people say that openQA tests are complicated, hard to get into, have too many settings, have to many moving parts, etc.
