Payload Testing

TRT needs the capability to run a selected subset of release qualification jobs on selected pull requests in all repositories that contribute to OCP, before they are merged. The /payload command is provided for this purpose.

Usage

Any collaborator of the GitHub OpenShift organization can issue the command on a pull request to a branch of a repository of the organization that contributes to OpenShift official images:

/payload <ocp_version> <ci|nightly> <informing|blocking>

For example, if /payload 4.10 nightly informing is issued on a PR, the robot will reply the list of the triggered jobs:

The jobs triggered by the command are determined by OpenShift Release Controllers. The linked page from payload-tests portal at the bottom of the comment shows the status of the payload testing and the details of those jobs.

A particular job or set of jobs can be triggered by /payload-job, such as

/payload-job <periodic_ci_openshift_release_some_job> <periodic_ci_openshift_release_another_job>

A job can be executed more than once by a single /payload-aggregate command, e.g,

/payload-aggregate <periodic_ci_openshift_release_some_job> <aggregated_count>
