Barak Korren commented on OVIRT-1743:
-------------------------------------

The process is clunky because the whole idea if having to launch stuff manually in CI is clunky.

We needed to provide a useful tool, so we brought some things together to make this possible. But I wouldn't want to spend efforts around automating a process which is IMO fundamentally broken.

Ideally you would just get OST results for every patch before merging it, but this requires several things:

# Asynchronous result notification to Gerrit, so you can see check-patch results while OST is still running  (We have that in GitHub already, but our Gerrit framework is a bit rigid still)
# Submitting pre-merged patches to CQ
# Merge emulation, which is to say, emulate how the code will look if all patches being tested were merged together.

We have bits and pieces of everything except #3 which is by far the most complex thing to do there...

Adding OVIRT-627 as a blocker

> I am writing a patch, and would like to test it in ost. now I need to
> *  "ci please build"
> * copy el7 url
> * wait for el7 build to finish
> * copy artifacts url to ovirt--system-test-manual, start it
> * copy the ost run URL to the gerrit patch, so I have it for reference of failure/success.
