Request: More Extensive Failure Annotation Abilities |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Issue descriptionSometimes multiple unrelated failures happen at the same time. For example, I'm look at this failure: Builders this step failed on: WebKit Linux (dbg) webkit_tests fast/mediacapturefromelement/HTMLMediaElementCapture-capture.html svg/parser/whitespace-length-invalid-1.html virtual/threaded/fast/scroll-behavior/smooth-scroll/main-thread-scrolling-reason-correctness.html Right now, my only options for communicating information with other sheriffs is snooze, link bug, or direct chat. Direct chat is inefficient and private (other people who look at SOM will not see the information). In this example, I'd like to express some set of the following information: * virtual/threaded/fast/scroll-behavior/smooth-scroll/main-thread-scrolling-reason-correctness.html should be linked to bug 631039 * fast/mediacapturefromelement/HTMLMediaElementCapture-capture.html svg/parser/whitespace-length-invalid-1.html should be linked to bug 630967 * fast/mediacapturefromelement/HTMLMediaElementCapture-capture.html does not have a bug link There are tons of ways to communicate this. I won't bother describing them here; I'm sure you can think of them. I'd be happy if I could simply put multiple bug numbers in the "link bug" box. (In that case, I'd create a temporary bug for the third issue and put all three in the box.) Of course, a more general-purpose any-text-allowed box would be even better.

The new version of Sheriff-o-Matic will allow linking multiple bugs, which hopefully will help once it is launched. Having a place to put arbitrary notes about an alert has been requested before, and I believe this is a good idea. I would be interested in working on this later. :) --- Links similar issues that have been filed for reference: Linking multiple bugs: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=430214 Space to note reverting CL: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=589702 Adding notes to an issue: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=589703

Thanks for the update and the pointers. I'll "star" the issues. Merging this bug into the one whose solution would most satisfy me. :-)
