Hi, This is to discuss the status of convergence patches and plans for making it default. The convergence gate jobs have been running successfully since more than a month now. There were three integration tests skipped: 1. StackValidationTest 2. UpdateStackTest.test_stack_update_alias_type 3. UpdateStackTest.test_stack_update_alias_changes 2 and 3 of above are addressed by patches and have been running successfully: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/248676/ https://review.openstack.org/#/c/259865/ The StackValidationTest fails because the test uses an image without cfn-tools and convergence heat will wait for the signal to arrive. https://bugs.launchpad.net/heat/+bug/1486281/comments/3 . This should be fixed when we address https://bugs.launchpad.net/heat/+bug/1533176 . The delete request can cancel the currently running check-resource requests and it can then proceed without having to wait for resources to complete. Also, if we use a proper image, this is is not seen. There are few important patches in review which should close most of the bugs: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/264748/ https://review.openstack.org/#/c/262374/ https://review.openstack.org/#/c/261208/ https://review.openstack.org/#/c/264675/ https://review.openstack.org/#/c/208790/ There are other bugs for which the patches should land soon. We should plan to make convergence default earlier in m-3 phase so that we can thoroughly test it before release. Let me know your opinion on this. - Anant
