using a glob expression, the same way jobs can specify
contexts. This allows more flexibility in situations where
there are many jobs sharing limited contexts because it
may obviate the need to create a conf file for each job.

too esoteric for the front page, converting it to an example
of querying laminar db directly and using gnuplot should provide
more value to those needing deeper insights into job behaviour.
This allows build chains to be traced in the common case where
an upstream job calls `laminarc queue' instead of `laminarc start'.
Incomplete job runs now have database entries, which requires
some adjustments in queries. Queued jobs can now be viewed in
the frontend and there is a corresponding status icon.
add -h|--help usage messages to laminarc and laminard
add a mechanism to compile in a version number, and display the
version in the help messages and in the frontend.
resolves#119
navigating to a non-existent job in the frontend caused a
mutating change to the buildNums map, and returing the latestNum
field caused the frontend to repeatedly try to fetch the latest
run, which could overload the backend
User may provide a custom index.html template file to be used instead
of the built-in version. Changes to this file are watched by laminard
using inotify in order to load and compress the custom file for gzip
delivery, reusing the existing method for serving static assets.
This feature obviates the custom css feature, so remove references from
the manual and add a deprecation warning if it is used.
Add a section to the UserManual describing how to use this feature and
including a link to an example using Semantic UI.
Implement a separate process, the "leader", which runs all the
scripts for a job run, instead of directly from the main laminard
process. This makes for a cleaner process tree view, where the
owning job for a given script is clear; also the leader process
acts as a subreaper to clean up any wayward descendent processes.
Resolves#78.
The nodes/tags system has not been particularly successful, it's not as
intuitive as it could be, and in an attempt to be a single feature to address
many use cases, ends up addressing none of them particularly well.
This commit replaces nodes and tags with contexts.
Each job may define which context(s) the job may be associated with.
Laminar will only pop the job off the waiting queue when it can be assigned
to a context. A context defines an integer number of executors, which
represents how many runs can be simultaneously assigned to it. A context
may provide extra environment variables.
Essentially, a context replaces a node, and tags are gone. You just assign
jobs to contexts directly, and you can use a glob expression. This should be
more intuitive.
For grouping jobs in the WebUI, a separate mechanism called "groups" is provided.
Large refactor that more closely aligns the codebase to the kj async
style, more clearly exposes an interface for functional testing and
removes cruft. There is a slight increase in coupling between the
Laminar and Http/Rpc classes, but this was always an issue, just until
now more obscured by the arbitrary pure virtual LaminarInterface class
(which has been removed in this change) and the previous lumping
together of all the async stuff in the Server class (which is now
more spread around the code according to function).
This change replaces the use of Websockets with Server Side Events
(SSE). They are simpler and more suitable for the publish-style messages
used by Laminar, and typically require less configuration of the
reverse proxy HTTP server.
Use of gmock is also removed, which eases testing in certain envs.
Resolves#90.
Query did not always return the last run as required due to
implementation-defined behaviour of mixing aggregate and
non-aggregate columns with group-by
Lose the boost dependency since recent versions of capnproto's kj
also provide a nice filesystem library. Take the opportunity to
refactor the Run object to become more than POD and to encapsulate
some of the functionality that was done in the Laminar class
Part of #49 refactor
- regressions and recoveries: list of jobs whose run status changed,
ordered first by currently failing jobs, secondly by count of jobs
since the status change, descending for currently failing jobs and
ascending for currently passing jobs
- low pass rates: list of the jobs with the worst pass rates calculated
over all time
- run time changes: jobs with the largest changes in build time. This
is calculated as the difference between the range and the standard
deviation over the past 10 runs.
- average run time distribution: shows the number of jobs in the
system divided into buckets based on their average runtime
The computed list of filtered jobs wasn't updated when a notification
was received from the server. Switch to using a method rather than a
computed property to fix this. Also add tags to jobs reported in
job_started and job_completed notifications
This feature allows runs to be sorted by result, number, start time
or duration, in ascending or descending order, on the Job page. Request
is processed server-side so that the correct page division can be done.
Currently running jobs are not sorted.
This is a refactor that more cleanly uses the kj framework for handling
processes spawned by Runs. This obviates the workaround introduced back in
ff42dae7cc, and incidentally now requires c++14.
Part of #49 refactor
The old implementation slurped the whole artefact into memory, and
did not ensure it remained allocated beyond the first call to write().
The new implementation uses mmap and ensures the mapping lasts until
the file has been delivered
