Problem: the nightly functional chain has not completed end-to-end.
Evidence from recent runs:
- workflow_run events are fire-and-forget: after KMS finished at 17:09Z
on 8/31 no tier run was created; rustfs-storage-test.yml has never run.
- 'if: conclusion == success' gates skip downstream suites on any
failure (security was skipped after pool failed on 9/1 01:48Z).
- rustfs-pool-expand-test.yml embedded a heal pass without
continue-on-error, so a heal failure failed the whole workflow.
Fixes:
- Add rustfs-functional-chain.yml: entry point that dispatches the first
suite via repository_dispatch; each suite hands off to the next with an
explicit, re-drivable API call instead of workflow_run triggers.
- Split heal out of the pool workflow (renamed to RustFS Pool Expansion
Test): heal now runs exactly once per chain, in rustfs-heal-test.yml
(storage -> heal -> pool).
- Every suite job gets continue-on-error so a failing test never fails
the workflow; failures are filed as issues in rustfs/backlog (report
+ redacted log tail) and the chain moves on.
- Clone rustfs/auto-testing with the PF token via 'gh repo clone' plus a
5-attempt retry loop (transient clone failures aborted whole suites).
- Stop rewriting functional/index.html from every suite (divergent
copies raced each other with stale SHAs); the canonical index now
lives in the dashboard repo.
- Standalone workflow_dispatch runs are unchanged and never forward the
chain; performance runs on its own runner, dispatched in parallel.
New RustFS Upgrade Test workflow (SUITE: upgrade) runs first in the
nightly functional chain:
- Nightly GNU Build -> Upgrade -> S3 -> KMS -> Tier -> Pool/Heal -> Security
- S3 compatibility now triggers on "RustFS Upgrade Test" completion, so an
upgrade regression gates the rest of the chain.
- Security suite moves to the end, after pool/heal, on the shared VMs.
- The upgrade suite drives auto-testing's rustfs-upgrade-test.sh
(UPG-101..402): seed golden data/identity/config on the OLD deb, upgrade
in place to the NEW deb, verify byte-identical preservation, and publish
functional-reports/upgrade/<date>.md.
- Add the Upgrade tab to every dashboard index writer so the shared
functional/index.html stays consistent.
