THIS IS A DISCUSSION DOCUMENT AND IS NOT IMPLEMENTED YET - IT WON'T WORK TODAY
There may be times that you wish to influence the building and testing carried out on your change. You might for example be fixing an issue that affects a particular distribution or combination of distributions, for this reason you can change the tests carried out by indicating in the commit message the changes you require.
To do this place the following comments with name value pairs in your commit message
Test-parameters: n=v x=y Build-parameters: a=b
You can place more than one name value pair on a line separated by spaces (e.g. a=b f=g). For lists of values, separate them with a comma (e.g. n=x,y,x). To cater for multiple requirements we might allow for lists of requirements, which is entry being a separate test.
Test-parameters: x=y,z c=e Test-parameters: e=z r=e Build-parameters: a=b f=g
The values today with permissible Test-parameters: entries are;

true |
testgroup |

review, regression, quick, full |
tests |
Comma separated list of test names to run in place of a standard test group |

The valid values for Build-parameters: entries are:
Name |

Valid Values |
|---|---|---|

You do not need to specify all the values only those values important for your requirements, the test system will use your request to alter a regular test. Also to ensure that you all reviews are fully tested to a known standard. The test system will run a regular, unmodified test set as well as the special request. Specifying a Build-parameters: arch or distro of none means that the client or server will not be built, equivalent to --disable-client or --disable-server configure params.
Here is an example:
LU-1234 recovery: handle swabbing during recover Handle byte swabbing of requests properly during recovery. There were problems with the handling of replayed creates that sent the requests with client-endian order but a little-endian LOV EA. Build-parameters: clientdistro=el5,sl11 clientarch=ppc serverdistro=rh6 serverarch=x86_64 Test-parameters: clientdistro=el5 clientarch=ppc serverarch=x86_64 ostcount=10 nettype=tcp tests=conf-sanity,replay-single Test-parameters: clientdistro=sl11 serverdistro=rh6 clientarch=ppc serverarch=x86_64 nettype=o2ib tests=conf-sanity,replay-single Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org> Change-Id: Ica9ed1612eab0c4673dee088f8b441d806c64932
