Disclaimer: use this carefully as you could cause a lot of trouble if too many jobs are scheduled.

Usage

NOTE: You can now trigger jobs without having to find the installer and tests urls.
NOTE: This script will now trigger the associated build if there is no available completed build.

Run it like this:

python scripts/trigger.py \
--rev 6610f4646b3c --repo-name try --buildername "Android 2.2 Debug try build"

Hacks

• You can run a test/talos job against:
  • your own installer located at any web-host
  • your own tests.zip located at any web-host
  • This allows you to hack a tests.zip on your people account and zip it back
    • use it with zip -rq9D && chmod 644
• You also don't need a build to happen on a revision to trigger a test/talos job

Solved issues

• There's some logic to prevent you from triggering jobs against non-existing builds/test.zip (to some extent)

Known issues

• You can attempt to trigger a revision that doesn't exist
• You can try to trigger a builder that doesn't exist
• You can be tempted to write a script to run a lot of jobs
  • Remember that these are shared production resources
• We could have a web page to make this easier
