Thanks Andrew. I see the trick now in jjb/global/rebase-jobs.sh;#l12, and this is the expected behaviour 😊 I’ll try to avoid asking for a manual trigger unless it’s a big rush. However, if others are as impatient (and overdue) as me, I wonder if it might be worth adding a manual trigger (e.g. a comment keyword or something) ? Thanks, You help is greatly appreciated, as usual 😊 From: Andrew Fenner <Andrew.fenner@est.tech> Sent: Monday, June 24, 2024 4:38 PM To: John Keeney <john.keeney@est.tech>; nordix@lists.openinfra.dev Subject: Re: Question about nordix gerrit & new remote branches John, We're here to help! The rebase jobs do create the branches and they are triggered by patchset changes and they are also triggered nightly. The nightly jobs sync all the branches and this is what you were seeing. The patchset changes only sync branch the change is on so doessn't create the new branches , therefore your problem. I can trigger the job manually and that creates the branch so that is done for the a1-interface below. Do you need it done for others just let me know. /Andrew ________________________________ From: John Keeney <john.keeney@est.tech<mailto:john.keeney@est.tech>> Sent: 24 June 2024 16:28 To: nordix@lists.openinfra.dev<mailto:nordix@lists.openinfra.dev> <nordix@lists.openinfra.dev<mailto:nordix@lists.openinfra.dev>> Subject: [Nordix] Question about nordix gerrit & new remote branches (Note: I am a complete amateur with Git, so maybe my question is silly – but I’ll risk it … ) Hi all I’m in the process of releasing some functions in both ONAP and O-RAN SC today. As part of this process I am creating new branches on the remote (‘remote:origin’ ) repositories using their web-based gerrit GUI (e.g. https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/admin/repos/sim/a1-interface,branches (j-release branch)) However, it takes about a day for the new branch to appear in the Nordix gerrit (‘remote:gerrit’). (i.e. I can’t see the new branch using various combinations of : ‘git fetch -v –refetch --all’ and ‘git ls-remote gerrit’ and ‘git ls-remote origin’ and ‘git branch -r’ and ‘git remote -v update’) As a result, I can’t make any updates (via ‘nordix, remote:gerrit’) on the new branch until then. (e.g. trigger new documentation build, roll-up version numbers etc) Is there anyway to speed up or trigger the sync between nordix_gerrit <- onap-/oransc-gerrit ? Or maybe I should use a different method to create the new remote (‘origin’) branch – e.g. through Nordix, or via command line – which would get the Nordix repos up-to-date quicker? Or maybe there’s some other trick that other people use? Or maybe it’s a Linux Foundation issue? Thanks, John PS: Is it is the onap-*-rebase or oransc-*-rebase Jenkins jobs that do this branch syncing (tracking)? I see in the logs that the *-rebase jobs have some git fetch’s in their logs – and those fetch jobs ‘see’ the new remote branch almost immediately, but the nordix-local branch creation doesn’t happen for ages after that. (e.g. jenkins.nordix: oransc-sim-a1-interface-rebase: #1862<https://jenkins.nordix.org/view/ORANSC/job/oransc-sim-a1-interface-rebase/1862/console> see the new ‘j-release’ branch (as shown in remote ‘origin repo’<https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/admin/repos/sim/a1-interface,branches>), but the sync-ed branch in Nordix does not exist<https://gerrit.nordix.org/admin/repos/oransc/sim/a1-interface,branches> - yet) [logo]<http://www.ericsson.com/> John Keeney Master Developer Ericsson Software Technologies Phone: +353 87 3791678 John.Keeney@est.tech<mailto:John.Keeney@est.tech> John.Keeney@ericsson.com<mailto:John.Keeney@ericsson.com> Ericsson EST Ericsson Software Campus Athlone, Westmeath, Ireland https://www.est.tech<https://www.est.tech/> https://www.ericsson.com<https://www.ericsson.com/>
