Bug ID: 39380 Summary: test.winehq.org: Provide a way to know why a report was rejected Product: WineHQ.org Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: www-unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: fgouget@codeweavers.com Distribution: ---
When WineTest submits a report that report can get thrown away. Either because it's too big, because it has too many failures, because too many tests were skipped or because of other reasons unknown.
The WineTest.exe is never notified of this because the report analysis is run asynchronously with respect tot he submission process. But annoyingly there is no way for the submitter to know why the report was rejected even later, levaing him to guess as to what needs fixing.
One way to plug this hole would be to send an email with the reason to the address field in the report. But that could probably be abused to send emails to arbitrary persons.
A very simple alternative would be to create a per-commit text file containing one line per ignored report with the report's tag, timestamp of when it was analyzed and the reason why it was ignored.
