Hi Jason, I personally think the suggestion are still a relatively good brainstorm data for those implicated. Of course, those not implicated in the CI scripting itself, I'd say just keep in mind that nothing is black and white and every changes end-up being time consuming.

Or at least I foresee quite complicated code to handle the case of one batched merge failing the tests, or worst, with flicky tests. > - Not running CI on the master branch A small clarification, this depends on the chosen work-flow. In GStreamer, we use a rebase flow, so "merge" button isn't really merging. It means that to merge you need your branch to be rebased on top of the latest. As it is multi-repo, there is always a tiny chance of breakage due to mid-air collision in changes in other repos. What we see is that the post "merge" cannot even catch them all (as we already observed once). In fact, it usually does not catch anything. Or each time it cached something, we only notice on the next MR.0 So we are really considering doing this as for this specific workflow/project, we found very little gain of having it. With real merge, the code being tested before/after the merge is different, and for that I agree with you. > - Shutting off CI Of course :-), specially that we had CI before gitlab in GStreamer (just not pre-commit), we don't want a regress that far in the past. > - Preventing CI on other non-MR branches Another small nuance, mesa does not prevent CI, it only makes it manual on non-MR. Users can go click run to get CI results. We could also have option to trigger the ci (the opposite of ci.skip) from git command line. > - Disabling CI on WIP MRs That I'm also mitigated about. > - I'm sure there are more... regards, Nicolas _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
