The automated make check for Ceph bot runs on Ceph pull requests. It is still experimental and will not be triggered by all pull requests yet.
It does the following:
- Create a docker container (using ceph-test-helper.sh)
- Checkout the merge of the pull request against the destination branch (tested on master, next, giant, firefly)
- Execute run-make-check.sh
- Add a comment to the pull request with a link to the full output of run-make-check.sh.
A use case for developers is:
- write a patch and send a pull request
- switch to another branch and work on another patch while the bot is running
- if the bot reports failure, switch back to the original branch and repush a fix: the bot will notice the repush and run again
It also helps reviewers who can wait until the bot succeeds before looking at the patch closely.
