Hi Everyone,
I want to update everyone with the further improvements I have made to new EWS. As always, please feel free to provide any feedback (either by filing bugs or contacting me directly).
New Features:
- Moved following queues to from old to new EWS:
• iOS 12 Tests EWS
• macOS WK1 and WK2 Release Tests EWS
• macOS WK1 Debug Tests EWS
• GTK and WPE EWS
• WinCairo EWS
• Style (and watchlist) EWS
- Added a new 'services' EWS to run Buildbot unit tests https://webkit.org/b/199994
- Separate status bubbles for builders and layout-testers
Infrastructure Improvements:
- EWS is now able to automatically recover (and retry the build) in case of certain git and network errors https://webkit.org/b/199722
- Some EWS bots now reboot periodically to ensure that start from clean state
- Added KillOldProcesses step before running API or Layout tests to increase robustness https://webkit.org/b/199592
- 'view layout test results' option is now displayed next to layout-test build step https://webkit.org/b/200048
- EWS now displays pre-existing Layout test failure names in the build summary https://webkit.org/b/199941
- Machine uptime is now reported in PrintConfiguration step https://webkit.org/b/200812
- Added EWS Buildbot support to Internal scripts to easily find/reconfigure bots
- Flakiness in API tests has been further reduced (thanks to multiple fixes by WebKit developers)
- Added more unit tests
Bug fixes:
- EWS status-bubbles are sometimes multi-row with scroll-bar https://webkit.org/b/199939
- EWS: Cannot see build status page when patch is waiting for tester https://webkit.org/b/200333
- EWS: Do not append additional '(failure)' string at the end of custom failure message in EWS Buildbot https://webkit.org/b/201140
- [ews] Status bubble should display only important messages in pop-over https://webkit.org/b/201308
Only remaining queues on old EWS are windows, jsc and commit-queue, which I will be working on next.
Thanks

>> • Added support for 'new EWS' in webkit-patch tool
>> • Added 'EWS Build Archives' (similar to 'WebKit Build Archives' https://webkit.org/blog/7978/introducing-webkit-build-archives/). For every patch uploaded to Bugzilla, EWS builders build the patch for various platforms (currently macOS and iOS) and upload the archives to S3. These archives are available to download by anyone (for 14 days). The S3 URL is in corresponding build (e.g.: notice 'uploaded archive' link in https://ews-build.webkit.org/#/builders/7/builds/2477). So, if for any reason, you want to get a built archive for your patch, you can simply upload the patch to Bugzilla. (Note that if there is interest in this, we can enhance it further)

>> Interesting info: Since last month, 'EWS for API tests' prevented API test breakage on 50+ patches (https://ews-build.webkit.org/api/v2/builders/3/builds?state_string__contains=new%20API%20Test&property=bug_id&order=-number).

>>> The new EWS comes with many new features and there are lot more I want to add. But, I don't want you guys to wait more to start getting the benefits. That's why I am rolling it out in phases, starting with EWS for API Tests and WebKitPerl Tests. These are tests which are not currently covered by the existing EWS. Next step would be to move queues from existing EWS to new EWS one by one, with the eventual goal of moving over everything to new EWS.
>>>
>>>
>>> Why new EWS?
>>> The existing EWS has certain architectural limitations. One of the prominent limitation is that there is no concept of building and testing the patch on different queues. If we have three queues: WK1 tests, WK2 tests and API tests, all three queues would need to compile WebKit independently. So WebKit would be compiled thrice instead of once. This is inefficient and thereby require more hardware.
>>>
>>> The new EWS has separate builder and tester queues. Builder queues build once and upload the archive. Multiple tester queues download that same archive and run tests on that. That way WebKit is compiled only once, and re-used on multiple tester queues. This improves system efficiency and allows us to add new test queues with substantially less hardware.
>>>
>>> The new EWS uses Buildbot at the back-end, which is a production-level CI system. It is easier to maintain and automatically provide various features like historical build logs, real-time log streaming, easier bot management, ability to retry a build etc. Plus, it’s a system most of you are already familiar with (build.webkit.org).
