- ElasticSearch Update
- Community Questions
Notes:
- Majority of folks are still installing Vagrant devstack, though some folks have chosen to go the docker direction
- There have been networking issues at the conference that have made installation in either case difficult..
- Question about whether the tagging strategy for our images on Dockerhub
- Question about CI in edX
- Small repositories/IDA typically are testing from Travis
- Integration tests across multiple systems happen in our staging environment
- For edX platform the test suite is extremely large. Tests are run in Jenkins – hosted by us – and tests are sharded across multiple workers. Jenkins sends a hook back to github with status.
- What is the best practice for flaky tests
- Currently we decorate them with the @flaky decorator which prevents the from breaking the build
- Tests can also be re-run with comments from Github, say, "jenkins run python"
