Is not exactly a subtask of #2396, but we should consider this issue while refactoring, so...

At this point checking how jenkins does it and how we can interface with it, would be worthy. (you need to speak JAVA for that though I'm afraid)

For OpenQA only solution I'd suggest this:

  • add JobDependencies table with (job_id, main_job_id, dep_type)
  • use dependency type PreReq for this case (other types can be useful for multimachine etc.)
  • when a main job fails, set all dependent jobs to "canceled" transitively
  • do not schedule dependent jobs until the main job is finished
  • add similar dependencies to Testsuites table as a template

I also looked at jenkins. It seems to be possible to connect it with OpenQA by simple script that enters the job in the queue and waits until it is finished. However, specifying various combination of parameters in jenkins (like machines or testsuites) seems to be rather complicated and I am not sure if jenkis would be any help:

Maybe we could use jenkins only for collecting results.

Usage:

In TestSuites add variable START_AFTER_TEST with name of base testsuite.

Example:

                 {
                   name => "kde+btrfs",
                   prio => 50,
                   settings => [
                     { key => "BTRFS", value => 1 },
                     { key => "DESKTOP", value => "kde" },
                     { key => "HDDSIZEGB", value => 20 },
                     { key => "START_AFTER_TEST", value => "kde" },
                   ],
                   variables => "",
                 },

From my point of view this can be closed as done, but I can't do it for some reason.
