Action Items / Takeaways from Last Week

Discussion Items / Updates

• Jenkins job changes
  • Disable wipe out workspace
  • Find/remove results/pyc files
  • Use pip cache
  • Upgrade when installing Python packages
• Specifying versions in Python package dependencies
• Should we standardize our use of py.test marks across projects? What should they be?
  • My opinion (and it's just that): it's easier to mark @NoProd and do py.test -k-NoProd in your [projectName.prod] build than to mark all tests for their specific environment (most projects ship from trunk/master weekly) - stephend
• Use branches when some tests are only appropriate to certain environments
  • Mozilla.com was using this until recently. Need to to discuss why it was changed? Were there issues?
    • See Stephen's update (and tentative apology) :-)
• http://pypi.python.org/simple/ makes me cry:
  • [21:41:33.703] GET http://pypi.python.org/simple/ [HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error 21875ms] - stephend
• Mobile-testing infra update from Raymond?
• Like to have someone answer https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702605#c2, so we can try to move it right along - stephend
• BHAGS -- what do we want WebQA to be/look like/do, in 2012?:
