I'm sure most of you have experienced the pain of long backlogs on Try
(Windows in particular). While we'd all love to have larger pools of test
machines (and our Ops people are actively working on improving that!), one
often-overlooked thing people can do to help with the backlog Right Now is
to cancel pending jobs on pushes they no longer need (i.e. newer push to
Try, broken patch, already pushed to inbound, etc).
Based on a conversation yesterday, it seems that the features of |mach
try| are not well known. In particular it allows running only a subset
of tests in cases that you are doing an experimental push that you
expect to affect mainly one area of the code. For example:
mach try -b do -p linux64 dom
would run every test under dom/ on linux64 only. The other command line
arguments work like trychooser syntax. For technical reasons the
resulting tests will all be run in a single chunk (hopefully TaskCluster
will eventually allow this limitation to be lifted).
