Analyze current GraalPy periodic job failures for ROTA. Use when asked to triage, summarize, or plan work for current periodic job failures, starting from scripts/rota_ci_failures.py output, validating linked Jira issues, inspecting logs, forming hypotheses, reproduction commands, and implementation order.

ROTA Periodic Job Check

Overview

Triage current GraalPy periodic job failures and produce implementation-ready plans.

Workflow

  1. Verify dashboard environment and run the periodic failure collector:
  • This workflow starts from scripts/rota_ci_failures.py, not from a Jira search.
  • The script requires OTDASHBOARD_URL and OTDASHBOARD_TOKEN.
  • If either variable is missing, stop and ask the user to set the missing variable(s). Do not fall back to querying Jira for the failure list.
  • Run from the repository root:
scripts/rota_ci_failures.py
  1. Parse the script output:
  • If it reports no failed jobs, report that there are no current failed periodic jobs and stop.
  • For each failed row, capture target, job name, last successful run, Jira ID(s), and log URL.
  • If a failed row has no Jira ID, flag it in the report and continue log analysis.
  1. Validate every reported Jira issue:
  • Fetch each Jira issue linked by the script output:
gdev-cli jira get-issue --json -id GR-XXXX
  • Check that the Jira matches the current failure:
    • The issue summary or description should identify the same error signature/root cause from the current log.
  • Check that the Jira is not too broad:
    • A generic timeout/build-failure ticket is acceptable only if it names this job or an intentionally scoped equivalent set of jobs.
    • A ticket covering unrelated jobs, unrelated targets, or unrelated error signatures is too broad.
  • Check that the Jira has component Python.
  • Notify the user about every Jira that fails any of these checks. Include the Jira key and the failed check(s).
  1. Inspect failed job logs:
  • Use the log URL from the script output. For Buildbot URLs, fetch the executor log with:
gdev-cli buildbot get-log BUILD_ID
  • Use gdev-cli buildbot rca --build BUILD_ID --wait when useful, but still inspect the relevant raw log lines.
  • Identify the exact failing command, error signature, first meaningful failure, and whether later errors are cleanup fallout.
  1. Convert findings into an implementation-ready plan per failure:
  • Extract failing job name, error signature, and log clue.
  • Map probable source area in repo.
  • Propose the first verification command.
  • Define exit criteria to close or update the linked ticket.

Output Contract

Group the output by the Jira issue. For each, report:

  • The issue summary, status and assignee
  • The failed jobs in a table with job name, last successful run and log URL.
  • The analysis of the failure and the proposed plan

Guardrails

  • If OTDASHBOARD_URL or OTDASHBOARD_TOKEN is missing, ask the user to set the missing variable(s). Do not try to set them yourself
  • Do not echo the OTDASHBOARD_TOKEN variable and do not leak it anywhere.
  • Prefer --json for Jira issue fetches.
