QA Task generation works unreliably
I've noticed that we do not get notified when the latest of the QA tasks gets generated in the #announcements slack channel when deploys occur for gstg. We do get notified when deploys occur on production and canary, but that was after the issue was already created. A QA Task is created when we deploy to gstg, we simply aren't notified about it. Though minor, this has led to other questions.
-
Where in our pipeline is the QA task created? -
Why are we missing the QA Task when deploys occur on staging? -
Why was the last QA task not generated when it should've contained at least this MR: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/32933
-
Did the QA Task generation simply not run? -
Did it run, but for some reason the aforementioned MR was excluded so we simply skipped the QA Task issue creation?
-
Example of the missing gstg notification:
Our latest deploy that included the above MR is for tag: 12.3.201909120420-ccfcf9cc0e8.7743bbb839e
which is missing a QA task entirely.
