In this we translate the logic of the database fields and add details that we should know
There are some resources that can be used as reference:
A tree is a set of repos and branches, normally just one pair, but more are possible. Essentially, a tree is a copy of the code base maintained separately for a particular purpose.
Maestro maintains its own database of trees, where each is given a
name (Checkouts.tree_name
), those names are generally
accepted and often recognized, but were chosen by
Maestro (KernelCI Legacy before it) developers and maintainers over a
period of time, and are not standardized, other CI systems are free
to report whatever they want there. Most choose not to report anything
in that field.
A checkout is a record of a CI system checking out a particular revision from a particular git repository and branch. The json schema also says that checkouts "represents the way the tested source code was obtained and its original location. E.g. checking out a particular commit from a git repo, and applying a set of patches on top."
Tests are linked to a build
Important thing to look at the tests table is the path
column, which is the
type of test that it is performing.They will be split in dots, which means that
is a child test from that test. eg: boot.start
is a child of boot
-
start_time
is the time that a test has started, we can use that to graph X-Axis graphs of tests over time -
status
Column show a status that can bePASS
SKIP
orERROR
-
misc
- It is important to notice that themisc
field can show the error message in case of an error
eg:
{
"arch": "arm64",
"compiler": "gcc-12",
"error_msg": "Invalid TESTCASE signal",
"error_code": "Test",
"kernel_type": "image"
}
environtment_misc
a JSON field that we can use for things about the environment like detecting the platform, this is not set in stone and can change, so we should double check the validation
{
"job_id": "14750408",
"platform": "hp-x360-14a-cb0001xx-zork"
}
NOTE: The contents of the
misc
field is not standardized, and shouldn't be relied upon to ever be used consistently by more than one CI system ("origin"), or even by the originating CI system itself, over time. The most it could be used for is a proof-of-concept.
In the tests table, the environment_compatibles
column contains a
sorted list of strings starting with the exact name of the machine, followed
by an optional list of boards it is compatible with sorted from most compatible
to least.
NOTE: For more information about
environment_compatibles
these resources can be used as a reference:
Revision has no respective table, but it is a collection of checkouts with
the same git_commit_hash
and patchset_hash
. But patchset_hash
is not commmonly used these days.
