<br>
we've been struggling with functional and fullstack jobs for a while<br>
now and we'd like to bring a better stability to it as the failure rate<br>
is still quite high. This is getting annoying, specifically for voting<br>
functional job, which makes it sometimes harder to get some of our<br>
beautiful precious patches merged.<br>
<br>
The very basic pillar on the way to improve the jobs is to understand<br>
what is wrong with them. Without having an overview of current failures<br>
it's very hard to make any improvement.<br>
<br>
Hence I'd like to ask you for help. When you see a failed job, don't<br>
just 'recheck' with the best hope that your patch won't get hit by gate<br>
failure again. Take a minute, please, open the failure and eventually<br>
report a new bug.<br>
<br>
Armando already sent similar email in the past [1], where he<br>
encouraged to have a look at the failure and report a bug. I have also<br>
sent a new policy to our docs with recommended steps [2]. Ideas on<br>
improvement are very welcome!<br>
<br>
It's really crucial to get a better grasp of our job failures and I<br>
believe if we can make this a habit into our day to day work, it will<br>
really make a difference at the job stability.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
Jakub<br>
