Run ATVM Automation Runs

This file stores run-specific examples only when a run produced a new learning relevant to future automation tasks.

Entry Rule

• Add an entry only when a run changed workflow behavior, exposed a failure mode, or confirmed a required new check.
• Do not add routine runs with no new learning.

Current State

• No run-learning entries recorded yet from atvm-automation-guide.md source material.

Run Learning: 2026-03-08 (E2E redhat9.7, pure/fc)

• Request:
  • template: cmc-e2e
  • filter: --containsVm redhat9.7
  • integration: --integration_type pure
  • plugin: --use_specified_plugin fc
• Observed result:
  • Cypress spec execution passed (1 test, 1 passing, 0 failing).
  • Cloud run URL was produced and marked uploaded.
  • run-sorry-cypress.py remained running afterward with a defunct npm exec cypress-cloud child process and did not exit cleanly on its own.
• Action for future runs:
  • If pass/upload is confirmed but run-sorry-cypress.py does not exit, treat it as a runner hang condition.
  • Capture run URL and pass/fail status first, then terminate the stuck runner process cleanly.

Run Learning: 2026-03-09 (Blacklist handling and status format)

• Observed requirement:
  • Some ATVM machines must be skipped even when a broad selector such as --containsVm or --randomize would otherwise include them.
• Machines to blacklist via --exclude_partial_match:
  • BLACKLISTED: CMC INSTALL - CAN'T COMPILE:
    • atvm6-centos6.0
    • atvm41-redhat6.0
    • atvm73-oracle6.0
  • BLACKLISTED: SUPPORT REQUEST - WAITING:
    • atvm113-debian9.0.0
    • atvm115-debian9.1.0
    • atvm116-debian9.2.0
    • atvm156-debian9.3.0
  • Needs re-creation:
    • atvm157-debian13.0.0
• Action for future runs:
  • Add these machine names to --exclude_partial_match when building broad-scope automation commands.
  • When reporting run status, include skipped blacklisted machines separately with their reason, in addition to completed and remaining machines.
  • Use the run build_name as the heading/title for status responses so the test type is obvious.
  • For failed machines in status responses, include the failure reason taken from the run log.
  • Include timing details in status responses: start time, end time when complete, and total or elapsed runtime.
  • Also include timing stats in status responses: quickest completed test runtime, longest completed test runtime, and average completed test runtime.
