Summary
This PR refactors the ghpr_check2 Jenkins pipeline job and related scripts for the pingcap/tidb repo. It centralizes path definitions using variables like fullRepo, branchAlias, and jobName, renames pipeline and pod files to standard names (pipeline.groovy and pod.yaml), and replaces hardcoded workspace directory names with REFS.repo. It also adds conditional parsing of Bazel test results, sends cloudevents on test completion, archives Bazel logs, relocates environment variable declarations, removes a debug stage, and re-enables parallelsAlwaysFailFast in a next-gen pipeline. The changes improve maintainability and pipeline flexibility. Overall, the refactor is clean and well-structured, but some improvements can be made on error handling, naming clarity, and minor organization.


Critical Issues

  • Potential silent failures in shell scripts (pipelines/pingcap/tidb/latest/ghpr_check2/pipeline.groovy, lines ~130-160):
    The Bazel test log parsing and cloudevents sending scripts use || true to ignore errors, which might hide failures that should be investigated.
    Suggestion: Add logging or notifications when these commands fail, e.g.:

    sh label: "Parse flaky test case results", script: './scripts/plugins/analyze-go-test-from-bazel-output.sh tidb/bazel-test.log || echo "Warning: Bazel flaky test parsing failed"'

    Or capture the exit code and log it for transparency.

  • Hardcoded FILE_SERVER_URL environment variable (pipeline.groovy, line ~16):
    The URL is hardcoded as 'http://fileserver.pingcap.net', which may cause issues if this needs to be changed per environment or region.
    Suggestion: Consider parameterizing this URL via Jenkins parameters or config maps to increase flexibility.


Code Improvements

  • Use consistent workspace directory referencing with REFS.repo everywhere:
    The PR updates many dir('tidb') to dir(REFS.repo), which is good. Ensure this is consistent in all stages and scripts for future-proofing and to avoid confusion.

  • Improve naming clarity for branch alias and job name:
    Variables like BRANCH_ALIAS and JOB_BASE_NAME appear in the pipeline.groovy but their values or origins are not shown in the diff. Make sure these are clearly documented or set explicitly near the top of the script for readability, e.g.:

    final BRANCH_ALIAS = 'latest'  
    final JOB_BASE_NAME = 'ghpr_check2'  
  • Avoid repeated shell script construction by extracting into separate functions or shared libs:
    The archive and cloudevents steps involve complex shell scripts embedded as multi-line strings. Moving these to shared script files or Jenkins shared libraries will improve maintainability and testing.

  • Add timeout or error handling around curl for cloudevents:
    Currently the curl command has a 10s timeout but ignores errors due to || true. Consider retry logic or at least logging failures for diagnostic purposes.


Best Practices

  • Add comments explaining key new environment variables and the purpose of Bazel-specific logic:
    For example, the condition if ("$SCRIPT_AND_ARGS".contains(" bazel_")) controls important test parsing and archiving behavior. Add a brief comment on why and when this condition is met.

  • Add Jenkins pipeline unit or integration tests for the new pipeline.groovy logic:
    If not already present, tests validating that the workspace directory switching, Bazel log parsing, and cloudevents sending work as intended would help prevent regressions.

  • Follow Groovy/Jenkins style for string interpolation:
    In some places double quotes are used without interpolation, or single quotes with interpolation (e.g., '${VAR}'). Prefer double quotes with ${VAR} for clarity and consistency.

  • Document the removal of the Debug info stage clearly:
    The debug stage was removed, presumably to clean up the pipeline. It is helpful to keep a comment in the Git history or in the pipeline describing why (e.g., no longer needed in prod).


Summary of recommended changes:

  • Add logging/error handling around shell scripts that currently ignore failures.
  • Parameterize hardcoded URLs like FILE_SERVER_URL.
  • Ensure consistent variable initialization and usage (BRANCH_ALIAS, JOB_BASE_NAME).
  • Extract complex shell commands to shared libs or scripts.
  • Add comments explaining Bazel-specific conditional logic.
  • Add or improve tests covering the refactored pipelines.
  • Use consistent string interpolation style.
  • Document the rationale for removed stages or relocated environment variables for future maintainers.

Addressing these points will improve reliability, maintainability, and clarity of the pipeline refactor.

Code Review

This pull request primarily refactors the Jenkins pipeline for the ghpr_check2 job to improve maintainability and flexibility. The changes include centralizing path definitions using variables, renaming files for consistency, and using dynamic repository references instead of hardcoded values. Additionally, a debug stage has been removed, and post-build steps for Bazel tests have been added. The changes are solid and align with the stated goals. I've identified a couple of minor issues where a hardcoded repository name was missed during the refactoring and have provided suggestions to address them.

The path to bazel-test.log is hardcoded as tidb/bazel-test.log. This is inconsistent with the refactoring's goal to eliminate hardcoded repository names. Please use the REFS.repo variable to construct the path dynamically.

  • The shell variable reference \$SCRIPT_AND_ARGS will not be expanded correctly in the shell context because SCRIPT_AND_ARGS is a Jenkins matrix axis variable, not a shell environment variable. The escaped dollar sign \$ means the shell will try to expand it, but the variable won't exist. This should use Groovy interpolation instead: "${SCRIPT_AND_ARGS}" (without the backslash). Compare with line 145 where $SCRIPT_AND_ARGS is correctly used for Groovy interpolation.

Summary
This PR refactors the ghpr_check2 Jenkins pipeline job for the pingcap/tidb repo by centralizing path variables, renaming pipeline and pod files for consistency, and improving maintainability. It replaces hardcoded workspace directory names with dynamic references, adds conditional Bazel test result parsing and cloudevents integration, archives Bazel logs, removes a debug stage, relocates environment variables, and re-enables a parallelism option in a next-gen pipeline. Overall, the changes improve clarity and flexibility with minimal code complexity. The refactoring is cleanly done, but a few points can be improved for robustness, readability, and maintainability.


Critical Issues

  • Potential incorrect grep usage in Tekton trigger (tekton/v1/triggers/triggers/_/github-pr-labeled-with-lgtm.yaml, line ~69)
    The change from:

    gh pr view "$pr_url" --json labels --jq '.labels | map(.name)' | grep -E '^lgtm$'

    to

    gh pr view "$pr_url" --json labels --jq '.labels[].name' | grep -E '^lgtm$'

    might cause false negatives or unexpected behavior if multiple labels exist because the latter outputs labels one per line, but grep -E '^lgtm$' only matches exact lines. This is probably intended, but safer to use grep -w 'lgtm' or consider using jq entirely for filtering to avoid shell parsing errors.

    Suggestion:
    Replace with a jq-only check:

    if gh pr view "$pr_url" --json labels --jq '.labels[].name' | grep -qw 'lgtm'; then

    or directly in jq:

    if gh pr view "$pr_url" --json labels --jq 'any(.labels[].name; . == "lgtm")'; then

Code Improvements

  • Use of hardcoded namespace string (pipelines/pingcap/tidb/latest/ghpr_check2/pipeline.groovy, line ~6)
    The K8S_NAMESPACE is hardcoded as "jenkins-tidb". Consider making this configurable or at least document its origin and expected usage for easier future changes.

  • Repeated parsing of JOB_SPEC JSON (pipeline.groovy, multiple locations)
    readJSON(text: params.JOB_SPEC) is called once and assigned to REFS. However, some fields like REFS.repo and REFS.org are used repeatedly. If the job spec might be large or costly to parse, caching REFS is good, but watch out for potential null/missing fields or malformed JSON.

    Suggestion:
    Add error handling or validation around the parsed JSON to avoid runtime failures.

  • Shell script multiline strings and quoting (pipeline.groovy, post stages lines ~130-160)
    The multiline shell scripts use a mix of double quotes and embedded variables, which can be error-prone.

    Example:

    sh label: "archive log", script: """
        str="$SCRIPT_AND_ARGS"
        logs_dir="logs_\${str// /_}"
        ...
    """

    Ensure variable expansions behave as expected inside Groovy strings and shell scripts. Consider breaking complex scripts into separate scripts or better quoting/escaping to avoid subtle bugs.

  • Hardcoded 'tidb' directory fallback in checkout stage (pipeline.groovy, line ~54)
    The checkout stage uses dir('tidb') instead of dir(REFS.repo) used elsewhere. If REFS.repo can differ, this leads to inconsistency.

    Suggestion:
    Change to:

    dir(REFS.repo) {
        ...
    }

    for consistency and correctness.

  • Repeated dir(REFS.repo) blocks in post conditions (pipeline.groovy, lines 130-160)
    Multiple dir(REFS.repo) blocks in post conditions could be combined into a single block to reduce duplication and improve readability.


Best Practices

  • Missing or minimal comments in pipeline.groovy
    The new conditional Bazel parsing and cloudevents sending block would benefit from comments explaining the purpose and when it triggers, e.g.:

    // If Bazel tests are run, parse flaky test results and send cloudevents report
  • Test coverage for new Bazel features and archiving
    There is no mention of adding or updating tests for the Bazel log parsing, cloudevents sending, or archiving logic. These are complex enough to warrant unit or integration tests (where feasible).

  • Naming conventions: consistent variable casing
    Variables like K8S_NAMESPACE, GIT_FULL_REPO_NAME, BRANCH_ALIAS, and POD_TEMPLATE_FILE are all uppercase constants, which is good. However, REFS is uppercase but appears to be a JSON object, which typically would be lowercase or camelCase.

    Suggestion:
    Rename REFS to refs for clarity that it’s a data object, or add a comment explaining the naming choice.

  • Removal of debug stage without replacement
    The debug stage with network commands (dig etc.) was removed. It might be useful to keep it as a disabled stage or documented snippet for troubleshooting.

  • Re-enabling parallelsAlwaysFailFast in next-gen pipeline (pipeline.groovy in pull_integration_realcluster_test_next_gen folder)
    The comment is helpful, but consider adding a link to issue/PR or rationale for re-enabling for future reference.

Summary:
This PR refactors the Jenkins pipeline for the ghpr_check2 job in the pingcap/tidb repo by centralizing path variables, renaming pipeline and pod files for consistency, and improving environment and post-build steps. It replaces hardcoded repo/workspace strings with variables, removes a debug stage, relocates environment variables, adds conditional Bazel test result parsing and archiving, and enables parallelsAlwaysFailFast in the next-gen pipeline. Overall, the changes improve maintainability and clarity but have a few areas that could be further improved for robustness and clarity.


Critical Issues

  • Potential silent failure on Bazel log parsing and event sending (pipelines/pingcap/tidb/latest/ghpr_check2/pipeline.groovy, lines ~126-140):
    The scripts for analyzing Bazel test logs and sending Cloudevents are run with || true, which swallows any errors silently.
    Why: This could hide issues in test result parsing or event sending, making debugging harder.
    Suggestion: Add logging or error handling to capture failures without breaking the pipeline, e.g.:
    try {
        sh './scripts/plugins/analyze-go-test-from-bazel-output.sh tidb/bazel-test.log'
    } catch (err) {
        echo "Warning: Bazel test result parsing failed: ${err}"
    }
    Similarly for the curl command, consider redirecting verbose output to a log file for inspection.

Code Improvements

  • Use consistent and robust way to check for Bazel tests (pipeline.groovy, lines ~126 and ~153):
    The condition "$SCRIPT_AND_ARGS".contains(" bazel_") depends on a substring match with a leading space, which might be brittle.
    Suggestion: Define a helper function or regex to detect Bazel-related commands more reliably. For example:

    def isBazelTest(scriptArgs) {
        return scriptArgs =~ /\bbazel_/  // word boundary regex
    }

    Then use if (isBazelTest(SCRIPT_AND_ARGS)) { ... }

  • Avoid repeating dir(REFS.repo) in multiple stages:
    The pipeline frequently uses dir(REFS.repo) in post steps.
    Suggestion: Refactor to use a single wrapper stage or step block scoped to dir(REFS.repo) to reduce duplication and chance of typos.

  • Hardcoded FILE_SERVER_URL in environment block (pipeline.groovy, line ~18):
    The URL is hardcoded and duplicated (moved from earlier environment block).
    Suggestion: Consider defining this as a global constant or parameter, or read from a config file or environment variable for easier maintenance.

  • Inconsistent naming for variables (e.g., GIT_FULL_REPO_NAME vs fullRepo):
    The variable names differ in casing and format between job DSL and pipeline scripts.
    Suggestion: Use a consistent naming convention (e.g., camelCase or UPPER_SNAKE_CASE) across all scripts for clarity.


Best Practices

  • Add comments explaining new Bazel-related post steps:
    The new Bazel flaky test parsing and Cloudevents send logic would benefit from short comments explaining their purpose and expected inputs/outputs.
    Example:

    // Parse Bazel flaky test results and send test-case-run-report event to Cloudevents server.
  • Add tests or validation for new pipeline paths:
    Since pipeline and pod files were renamed and paths centralized, it's important to ensure these paths are valid and tested in CI or staging environments.

  • Document the purpose of parallelsAlwaysFailFast() option in pull_integration_realcluster_test_next_gen:
    The comment says "disable for debug" but now it is enabled. Clarify why enabling this is safe or desired.

  • Standardize naming of pipeline and pod files:
    The PR renames pod files from pod-ghpr_check2.yaml to pod.yaml inside a job-named directory. This is clearer but should be documented as a convention.


Minor Suggestions

  • In the archiveArtifacts calls for Bazel logs, consider specifying allowEmptyArchive: true consistently to avoid build failures if no artifacts exist.

  • In the sh scripts that parse logs and move files, consider adding set -euo pipefail or equivalent to catch errors early.


Overall, this PR meaningfully improves the maintainability and extendability of the ghpr_check2 pipeline. Addressing the above points will harden the pipeline, improve observability, and ease future maintenance.

Summary:
This PR refactors the ghpr_check2 Jenkins pipeline configuration for the PingCAP TiDB project by centralizing path definitions, renaming pipeline and pod files for consistency, and improving parameterization with variables like fullRepo, branchAlias, and jobName. It also introduces conditional Bazel test result parsing, cloudevents notifications, and better artifact archiving. The debug stage is removed, and environment variable placement is improved. Finally, the parallelsAlwaysFailFast option is re-enabled in the next-gen pipeline. The changes are well-structured and improve maintainability and extensibility.


Critical Issues

  • None found. The logic improvements and centralization seem sound with no obvious bugs or security issues.

Code Improvements

  • Use of REFS.repo for workspace directory (e.g., lines 114 and post sections in pipeline.groovy):

    • This is a positive change but relies on REFS.repo always being set correctly. Consider adding a validation or fallback to avoid failures if REFS.repo is empty or null.
    • Example:
      def repoDir = REFS?.repo ?: 'tidb'
      dir(repoDir) {
          // ...
      }
  • Hardcoded URLs in environment variables (FILE_SERVER_URL):

    • The URL http://fileserver.pingcap.net is hardcoded in the environment block. If this URL could change, consider externalizing this to a config or parameter to make it flexible without code changes.
  • Script path construction in ghpr_check2.groovy:

    • Uses "pipelines/${fullRepo}/${branchAlias}/${jobName}/pipeline.groovy" which improves maintainability.
    • Consider extracting a helper function or constant if other jobs follow the same pattern to reduce duplication.
  • Bazel test parsing and cloudevents sending (lines 130-150 in pipeline.groovy):

    • The use of "$SCRIPT_AND_ARGS".contains(" bazel_") is a simple heuristic. Verify that this reliably captures all relevant Bazel tests, or else make the condition more robust.
    • The curl command lacks error handling besides || true. Consider logging errors or timeouts for better observability.
  • Archiving Bazel logs (lines 148-165):

    • The archiveArtifacts pattern uses globs like '*/bazel-*.log'. If artifacts are nested deeper or naming conventions vary, some logs might be missed. Confirm this matches all expected files.
  • Removal of Debug Stage:

    • The debug stage was removed. Ensure this debug info is not needed for troubleshooting. If needed, consider toggling it via a parameter or flag.

Best Practices

  • Documentation and Comments:

    • Some new variables like fullRepo, branchAlias, and jobName are introduced at the top of ghpr_check2.groovy, but their purpose is only partially explained. Adding comments explaining their role and usage would help future maintainers.
    • The conditional Bazel test processing could be explained with a brief comment to clarify intent.
  • Testing Coverage:

    • No indication of tests (unit or integration) for the new conditional logic or path refactoring. Consider adding tests or at least manual validation steps documented to verify the new pipeline behavior, especially for Bazel-related features.
  • Naming Conventions:

    • The renaming of pod files and pipeline scripts to pod.yaml and pipeline.groovy respectively is consistent and clear.
    • The environment variable FILE_SERVER_URL is appropriately named.
  • Code Duplication:

    • Similar repo and path variables appear in multiple places (ghpr_check2.groovy and pipeline.groovy). Consider centralizing these definitions in a shared config or Groovy file to DRY up the code.
  • Style:

    • The pipeline script uses consistent indentation and spacing.
    • The removal of commented-out code (e.g., disabled debug stage) is good for cleanliness.

Summary of actionable suggestions:

  • Add validation or fallback for REFS.repo usage in dir() calls to prevent potential failures.
  • Externalize hardcoded URLs like FILE_SERVER_URL into parameters or config files.
  • Add comments explaining new variables and conditional Bazel handling logic.
  • Improve error handling and logging for the cloudevents curl command.
  • Ensure artifact archive globs cover all relevant files; verify paths.
  • Consider re-adding debug info under a toggle or parameter.
  • Centralize path and repo constants to avoid duplication across multiple scripts.
  • Add or document tests/validation steps for Bazel and path refactor features.
