Requested Change

The set of required checks on edx-platform and/or the "unit tests successful" check itself need to be fixed, although we're not exactly sure how yet.

They don't currently enforce that all unit tests pass, as the Unit tests successful check seems to be getting skipped.

More details:

• Require or remove Tests successful checks? #32238
• fix: update shard names for GH tests #32220

We have disabled Auto-merge on edx-platform because of this. As part of resolving this ticket, please re-enable it.

Thank you for your report! @openedx/axim-oncall will triage within a business day. Simple requests usually take 2-3 business days to resolve; more complex requests could take longer.

@kdmccormick @e0d are either of you taking this, or is this a backlog eng item?

[kdmccormick]

I am not, and I doubt Ed is, so it's in the backlog, although I'd vouch for it to be high up in the backlog.

I'm just wondering if it's an on-call ticket or not. I don't know how to address this.

[kdmccormick]

Fair, I guess it's more edx-platform maintenance than on-call work.

@feanil and I are next up in the on-call queue, so I figure whichever one of us has time first can pick it up.

@feanil LMK here when you switch us over to github hosted unit test runners. I think it should make these required checks much easier to manage. I'm reeealllllyyyy looking forward to being able to auto-merge edx-platform PRs again 😄
