Convert a release payload job to run multiple times with statistical analysis
# source-command-payload-job-aggregate Use this skill when the user asks to run the migrated source command `payload-job-aggregate`. ## Command Template # Aggregate Release Payload Job You are helping the user convert a release payload job to an aggregated job that runs multiple times with statistical analysis. ## Command Arguments This command accepts optional arguments: `/payload-job-aggregate [release] [stream] [arch]` - If arguments are provided (e.g., `/payload-job-aggregate 4.21 nightly` or `/payload-job-aggregate 4.21 nightly arm64`), use them directly - If no arguments are provided, prompt the user for the information ## Steps to follow: 1. **Get release, stream, and architecture**: - If ARGUMENTS are provided, parse them to extract release version, stream type, and optional architecture - If no ARGUMENTS are provided, ask the user for: - Release version (e.g., "4.21", "4.20") - Stream type (e.g., "nightly", "ci", "stable") - Architecture (optional, defaults to amd64 if not provided) - Supported architectures: `arm64`, `s390x`, `ppc64le`, `multi`, or leave blank for `amd64` (default) Construct the file path based on stream and architecture: - For `nightly` stream: - Default amd64: `core-services/release-controller/_releases/release-ocp-{version}.json` - Specific arch: `core-services/release-controller/_releases/release-ocp-{version}-{arch}.json` - For other streams (ci, stable, etc.): - Default amd64: `core-services/release-controller/_releases/release-ocp-{version}-{stream}.json` - Specific arch: `core-services/release-controller/_releases/release-ocp-{version}-{stream}-{arch}.json` Note: When architecture is specified and is not amd64, append `-{arch}` to the filename (after stream if present) 2. **Read the release file**: Load the JSON file to find all jobs in the `verify` section. 3. **Find non-aggregated jobs**: Identify all jobs that do NOT have `"aggregatedProwJob"` in their configuration. These are regular jobs that can be aggregated. 4. **Present job selection**: Display a numbered list of all non-aggregated jobs found in the release file, showing both the job key and the Prow job name. Organize jobs into logical categories (no more than 7 groups) based on platform or distinguishing characteristics (e.g., Agent, AWS, Azure, GCP, Bare Metal, vSphere, Managed & Specialized). Maintain continuous numbering across all categories. Ask the user to provide the number of the job they want to aggregate. 5. **Aggregate the job**: Edit the selected job's configuration to: - Add the `"aggregated-"` prefix to the job key name (e.g., `"gcp-ovn-upgrade"` becomes `"aggregated-gcp-ovn-upgrade"`) - Add `"aggregatedProwJob": { "analysisJobCount": 10 },` (always use 10 for the analysis job count) - Ensure blocking jobs (those without `"optional": true`) have `"maxRetries"` set (typically 2) - add it if not already present - Keep all existing fields like `"optional"`, `"upgrade"`, `"upgradeFromRelease"`, etc. - Maintain proper JSON formatting with commas 6. **Run make release-controllers**: Create a Python virtual environment if needed and execute `make release-controllers` to regenerate the release controller configurations. First check if `venv` directory exists - if not, create it with `python3 -m venv venv`. Then activate it with `source venv/bin/activate`, and finally run `make release-controllers`. 7. **Confirm completion**: Let the user know the job has been converted to an aggregated job and explain that it will now run 10 times and statistically analyze the results. ## Important notes: - **Only modify files in `core-services/release-controller/_releases/` - DO NOT modify files in the `priv` directory as those are auto-generated** - Aggregating requires adding the `"aggregated-"` prefix to the job key name - Aggregated jobs always run 10 times and use statistical analysis to determine pass/fail - The `analysisJobCount` field is always set to 10 - do not prompt the user for this value - Blocking jobs (without `"optional": true`) must have `"maxRetries"` configured (typically 2) - The job can be both aggregated and blocking, or aggregated and informing (with `"optional": true`) - Preserve all existing fields when adding aggregation - The JSON formatting must remain valid - be careful with commas - Handle different stream types correctly (some releases don't have a stream suffix in the filename)
