Due to the fixed-output derivation hashing scheme, there can be
multiple derivations of the same output path. But build logs are
indexed by derivation path. Thus, we may not be able to find the
log of a build or build step using its derivation. So as a fallback,
Hydra now looks for other derivations with the same output paths.
They're mostly redundant since there is a faster "jobs" tab on
the jobset pages now. The only thing the latter lacks is the
ability to see status change times, but those are quite expensive
to compute, and are visible on build pages if you really need them.
We now keep all builds in the N most recent evaluations of a jobset,
rather than the N most recent builds of every job. Note that this
means that typically fewer builds will be kept (since jobs may be
unchanged across evaluations).
It redirects to the latest successful build from a finished
evaluation. This is mostly useful for the Nixpkgs/NixOS mirroring
script, which need the latest finished evaluation in which some
aggregate job (such as ‘tested’ in NixOS) succeeded.
This allows users to sign in to Hydra using Mozilla Persona accounts.
When a user first sign in, a row in the Users table for the given
Persona identity (an email address) is created automatically.
To do: figure out how to deal with legacy accounts.
The catalyst-action-rest branch from shlevy/hydra was an exploration of
using Catalyst::Action::REST to create a JSON API for hydra. This commit
merges in the best bits from that experiment, with the goal that further
API endpoints can be added incrementally.
In addition to migrating more endpoints, there is potential for
improvement in what's already been done:
* The web interface can be updated to use the same non-GET endpoints as
the JSON interface (using x-tunneled-method) instead of having a
separate endpoint
* The web rendering should use the $c->stash->{resource} data structure
where applicable rather than putting the same data in two places in
the stash
* Which columns to render for each endpoint is a completely debatable
question
* Hydra::Component::ToJSON should turn has_many relations that have
strings as their primary keys into objects instead of arrays

For some reason, hg clone from a local (path-based) repo will fail if
the parent directory of the destination directory doesn't exist (though
it succeeds when cloning from an http repo).

Previously, for scheduled builds, "timestamp" contained the time the
build was added to the queue, while for finished builds, it was the
time the build finished. Now it's always the former.
The revision counting changes depending on which revision is cloned
initially, so clone the default branch first and then checkout the
required revision to match hydra's revCount.

This allows checking a jobset (say) at most once a day. It's also
possible to disable polling by setting the interval to 0. This is
useful for jobsets that use push notification or are manually
evaluated.
You can now do:
bash <(curl http://hydra-server/build/1238757/reproduce)
to download and execute a script that reproduces a Hydra build
locally. This script fetches all inputs (e.g. Git repositories) and
then invokes nix-build.
The downloaded sources are stored in /tmp/build-<buildid> and reused
between invocations of the script.
Any additional command line options are passed to nix-build. So
bash <(curl http://hydra-server/build/1238757/reproduce) --run-env
will drop you in a shell where you can interactively hack on the
build, e.g.
$ source $stdenv/setup
$ set +e
$ unpackPhase
$ cd $sourceRoot
$ configurePhase
$ emacs foo.c &
$ make
and so on.
So now "?compare=<jobset name>" is no longer a hidden feature!
P.S. Encountered this wonderful TemplateToolkit brainfuck again: if
you want to get the number of rows in (say) project.jobsets, you can't
say "project.jobsets.size". That will *usually* give the right
result, except that if there is only one row in project.jobsets, it
will evaluate to 3. Instead you have to use "project.jobsets_rs.count".
