Q: where to find the build logs?

[yarikoptic]

https://github.com/datalad/git-annex#client-tests has bunch of red badges so it is needed to know how those jobs have failed. https://github.com/datalad/git-annex-ci-client-jobs/branches seems have no relevant branches which might contain build logs, https://github.com/datalad/git-annex/blob/master/clients/README.md has no hits for searching log.

I am even thinking may be we should

• make https://github.com/datalad/git-annex-ci-client-jobs/branches private
• do push logs in per build branches; have some branch or reference which points to the latest for each client/run
• make badges here point to those logs (now they just point to badge svg, not much use)

@yarikoptic The logs are pushed to the result-* branches, where a GitHub Action uploads them as artifacts that are then also collected by tinuous in /mnt/datasets/datalad/ci/git-annex-ci-client-jobs on smaug. (Note that, if you go look in the tinuous directory, the first couple runs lack artifacts due to a misconfiguration.)

Ah, cool -- thanks!

ATM I see builds/2022/03/push-result-s/handle-result.yaml-5-8ff806f4-success where success is probably for the entire github CI run, which succeeded despite smaug failing underneath:

datalad@smaug:/mnt/datasets/datalad/ci/git-annex-ci-client-jobs/builds/2022/03/push-result-s/handle-result.yaml-5-8ff806f4-success/result-smaug-609$ tail git-annex.log
    required_content:                                     OK (3.54s)
    add subdirs:                                          OK (3.65s)
    addurl:                                               OK (2.20s)

3 out of 994 tests failed (1362.87s)
  (Failures above could be due to a bug in git-annex, or an incompatibility
   with utilities, such as git, installed on this system.)
+ cd /mnt/datasets/datalad/git-annex-build-client
+ chmod -R +w 609
+ rm -rf 609

• smaug's log filename doesn't reflect that it did fail -- should we reflect status there?
• shouldn't overall CI run also reflect status of individual clients (if any fail -- "failed")?

@yarikoptic

smaug's log filename doesn't reflect that it did fail -- should we reflect status there?

The test exit codes are stored in the .rc files next to the .log files in the artifacts.

shouldn't overall CI run also reflect status of individual clients (if any fail -- "failed")?

No, I think the CI status should reflect whether the CI post-processing succeeded in updating the badges and uploading the artifact.

ok, thank you.
