Our regular team meeting occurs every Thursday @ 9am Pacific

Lead / Scribe

  • Scribe: bob
    • Scribe is responsible for:
      • adding the action items and takeaways to the current meeting's minutes
      • creating the agenda for the next meeting and carrying the action items and takeaways over to it
      • sending out a notice of the availability of that agenda along with the meeting invite
      • completing all of the above by the end of the week during which the meeting occurred

Last week's action items

  • [CARRY OVER] [matt][stephen] - The participation team are looking for someone to review their pull request for mozillians-tests - meeting with them during Orlando work week
    • [stephend] - I merged https://github.com/mozilla/mozillians-tests/pull/205 and re-enabled the mozillians.dev.* tests after the pull was r+'d
      • still trying to get a much-clearer sense (have reached out to Pierros) and blog post of the timeline and changes made/test-areas needed, so we can work with the team to invite community via a testday

Read-only

Discussion items

  • [davehunt] Changes to AMO dev caused expected failures, but due to high timeouts and reruns the amo.dev job took over 8 hours!
    • I've removed reruns from amo.dev.* and set the timeout to 60 seconds
    • I'd like to do this for all jobs, but it will cause noise due to intermittent failures
    • Thoughts/opinions? Can we handle the noise and tackle the intermittent failures?
    • Note that it is possible to mark individual tests as flaky and to indicate a maximum number of reruns.
  • [davehunt] Until recently, marketplace-tests waiting for an element to be visible would wait 600 seconds instead of 60
    • This is a good example of why it's a bad idea to mix implicit and explicit waits
  • [davehunt] Sauce Labs has announced they're dropping support for Appium 1.3.4 and older
    • We're using 1.4.13 as our default version (latest recommended version is 1.4.16)
    • For AMO we're using 1.3.7 due to issues experienced with 1.4.x, so we may want to look into this before support is dropped for 1.3.x entirely
  • [stephend] - Just FYI (shouldn't affect our test infra); Web Ops is upgrading Zeus to 10.3 during the Tree-Closing Window this weekend
