Hi all,
I’ve seen a lot of cases recently where -1 votes from the test pool have been removed from
a patch due to a failure unrelated to the patch, but then nothing was filed in GitHub for
that failure. The filing in GitHub could be a new issue, or a comment on an existing
issue.
Please make those GitHub updates a priority. It’s the only way the project can understand
the frequency of those intermittent failures and gather to get them fixed. If you’re not
sure if a failure has been seen before, search GitHub issues with the “Intermittent
Failure” label, or ask on Slack if anyone else has seen the issue. There is no harm in
filing a new issue that may be a duplicate – we can always clean these up later during the
next bug scrub meeting. The important thing is that we get the failure tracked.
Thanks,
-Jim
