Description

Use AI tools to convert legacy perl scripts to bash

Goals

Uyuni project contains legacy perl scripts used for setup. The perl dependency could be removed, to reduce the container size. The goal of this project is to research use of AI tools for this task.

Resources

Aider

Results:

Aider is not the right tool for this. It works ok for small changes, but not for complete rewrite from one language to another.

I got better results with direct API use from script.

Looking for hackers with the skills:

    Flaky Tests AI Finder for Uyuni and MLM Test Suites by oscar-barrios

    Description

    Our current Grafana dashboards provide a great overview of test suite health, including a panel for "Top failed tests." However, identifying which of these failures are due to legitimate bugs versus intermittent "flaky tests" is a manual, time-consuming process. These flaky tests erode trust in our test suites and slow down development.

    This project aims to build a simple but powerful Python script that automates flaky test detection. The script will directly query our Prometheus instance for the historical data of each failed test, using the jenkins_build_test_case_failure_age metric. It will then format this data and send it to the Gemini API with a carefully crafted prompt, asking it to identify which tests show a flaky pattern.

    The final output will be a clean JSON list of the most probable flaky tests, which can then be used to populate a new "Top Flaky Tests" panel in our existing Grafana test suite dashboard.

    Goals

    By the end of Hack Week, we aim to have a single, working Python script that:

    1. Connects to Prometheus and executes a query to fetch detailed test failure history.
    2. Processes the raw data into a format suitable for the Gemini API.
    3. Successfully calls the Gemini API with the data and a clear prompt.
    4. Parses the AI's response to extract a simple list of flaky tests.
    5. Saves the list to a JSON file that can be displayed in Grafana.
    6. New panel in our Dashboard listing the Flaky tests
