    OpenQA Golang api client by hilchev

    Description

    I would like to make a simple cli tool to communicate with the OpenQA API

    Goals

    • OpenQA has a ton of information that is hard to get via the UI. A tool like this would make my life easier :)
    • Would potentially make it easier in the future to make UI changes without Perl.
    • Improve my Golang skills

    New features in openqa-trigger-from-obs for openQA by jlausuch

    Description

    Implement new features in openqa-trigger-from-obs to make xml more flexible.

    Goals

    One of the features to be implemented: - Possibility to define "VERSION" and "ARCH" variables per flavor instead of global.

    Learn obs/ibs sync tool by xlai

    Description

    Once images/repo are built from IBS/OBS, there is a tool to sync the image from IBS/OBS to openqa asset directory and trigger openqa jobs accordingly.

    Goals

    Check how the tool is implemented, and be capable to add/modify our needed images/repo in future by ourselves.

    Enhance UV openQA helper script by mdonis

    Description

    A couple months ago an UV openQA helper script was created to help/automate the searching phase inside openQA for a given MU to test. The script searches inside all our openQA job groups (qam-sle) related with a given MU and generates an output suitable to add (copy & paste) inside the update log.

    This is still a WIP and could use some enhancements.

    Goals

    • Move script from bash to python: this would be useful in case we want to include this into MTUI in the future. The script will be separate from MTUI for now. The idea is to have this as a CLI tool using the click library or something similar.
    • Add option to look for jobs in other sections inside aggregated updates: right now, when looking for regression tests under aggregated updates for a given MU, the script only looks inside the Core MU job group. This is where most of the regression tests we need are located, but some MUs have their regression tests under the YaST/Containers/Security MU job groups. We should keep the Core MU group as a default, but add an option to be able to look into other job groups under aggregated updates.
    • Remove the -a option: this option is used to indicate the update ID and is mandatory right now. This is a bit weird and goes against posix stardards. It was developed this way in order to avoid using positional parameters. This problem should be fixed if we move the script to python.

    Some other ideas to consider:

    • Look into the QAM dashboard API. This has more info on each MU, could use this to link general openQA build results, whether the related RR is approved or not, etc
    • Make it easier to see if there's regression tests for a package in an openQA test build. Check if there's a possibility to search for tests that have the package name in them inside each testsuite.
    • Unit testing?

    More ideas TBD
