QA (public) » openQA Project (public)

Motivation¶

The jobs API data shows both the group_id as well as group (name) for a job but not the parent job group. For example

openqa-cli api --o3 jobs/1464990 | jq .

yields:

{
  "job": {
…
    "group": "Development Tumbleweed",
    "group_id": 38,
    "has_parents": 0,
    "id": 1464990,
    "name": "opensuse-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Build20201108-create_hdd_textmode_ext4@uefi",

for a job within the job group "Development Tumbleweed" which is below a parent job group "Development". Another example is https://gitlab.suse.de/qa-maintenance/openQABot/-/blob/master/openqabot/utils.py#L127 looking into the name of a job group if it starts with "Test" to call it a "Development" job group and hence ignore for QAM approval. This caused problems for a job within the job group "QAM HA-SAP" which is below the parent job group "Development" but not having "Development" or "Test" in the name itself.

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: The parent job group name is available from jobs API data

Suggestions¶

• Just add a field parent_group if not-null and learn quickly that it is never as easy like that ;)
• Optional: Also include parent_group_id
