Description

« Hide

We need some way to run a command so that a VM is rebooted or reset to a snapshot after a build.

Many builds either
1) install software and add files to the file system while running "unit" tests
2) have unit tests which fail and leave dialog boxes open

We need some way to restore from the snapshot so we can improve the robustness and ensure the integrity the builds.

Quote from email:

As you know we would definitely like to support this, although a full solution is likely to be post-2.0. Hopefully a workable solution can be derived by smaller changes in the 1.2.x timeframe.

Added in agent state changes (changes 4587, 4588, 4590 and 4591). It is now possible to use post-stage actions to reset agents. Recipe collection and cleanup is done before post-stage actions run. The recipe is held in a busy state until the actions complete, and once they have completed the agent status is established on the next ping (so we don't try to dispatch a recipe immediately when the agent is still on its way back up).
