Description

Motivation

See parent #19720

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: Any changes in packages installed on worker machines between "last good" and "current" are available in "investigation" UI tab
  • AC2: The solution within openQA is agnostic to the operating system of the openQA worker, e.g. no hardcoded rpm -qa within openQA code

Suggestions

  • see #19720#note-14 and #19720#note-15 for preliminary evaluations
  • 1st step: Collect the data, e.g. if a hook is defined in worker config, call command on worker at end of job, e.g. with suggestion rpm -qa for openSUSE/SLE machines, save data in text file, upload text file (same as other log files)
  • 2nd step: Show the diff in "investigate" route if file(s) exist, same as we do for vars.json

Further details

  • It might be that overall this is producing too much data to handle on worker side

Discussing with @ilausuch what's missing here:

  • Are the code changes complete?
  • Should PACKAGES_CMD be set in the worker.ini to enable the feature?
  • Can we have a post somewhere explaining how this works? Demonstrating configuration as well as results.

You are right. IMHO PACKAGES_CMD should be within etc/openqa/workers.ini as an example.

I am adding this ticket back to our backlog as we work on it and I think we should better track it in "Ready". Also setting a due date.

I recommend to do three things now:

  • Enable in o3 workers
  • Enable in osd workers
  • Add as example in PACKAGES_CMD

I am stumbling over this ticket again. As the main feature is properly done with good test coverage I would regard this as "Resolved" as I don't see us having the capacity to enable and test in o3+osd infrastructure and also not urgent. Let's see what the next opportunity will be where we would benefit from that :)
