Hi All, We have been seeing a large amount of changes that are not deployed into tested lately because of failed build-artifacts jobs so we decided that perhaps we need to explain the importance of fixing a failed build-artifacts job. If a change failed a build-artifacts job, no matter what platform/arch it failed in, the change will not be deployed to tested. Here is an example of a change that will not be added to tested: [image: Inline image 1] As you can see, only one of the build-artifacts jobs failed but since the project specify that it requires all of these arches/platforms, the change will not be added to tested until all of the jobs are fixed. So what can we do? 1. Add the code which builds-artifacts to 'check-patch' so you'll get a -1 if a build failed (assuming you will not merge with -1 from CI). 2. post merge - look for emails on failed artifacts on your change (you will have to fix the job and then re-trigger the change) 3. you can see all current broken failed artifacts jobs in jenkins under 'unstable critical' view [1] and you will know if your project is being deployed. 4. Remove the broken OS from your project ( either from Jenkins or from your automation dir if you're using V2 ) - ask us for help! this should be an easy patch 5.Don't add new OS builds until you're absolutly sure they work ( you can add check-patch to keep testing it, but don't add build-artifacts until its stable ). Please contact myself or anyone else from the CI team for assistance or questions and we would be happy to help. [1] http://jenkins.ovirt.org/ Thank you, Dafna
