@smlambert I do not think this will affect adoptium, but could you run a Grinder to check?

[smlambert]

16:55:33       [exec] hint: You can replace "git config" with "git config --global" to set a default
16:55:33       [exec] hint: preference for all repositories. You can also pass --rebase, --no-rebase,
16:55:33       [exec] hint: or --ff-only on the command line to override the configured default per
16:55:33       [exec] hint: invocation.
16:55:35       [exec] fatal: couldn't find remote ref main
16:55:35       [exec] Result: 1
16:55:35       [echo] Performing hard reset...
16:55:35       [exec] fatal: ambiguous argument 'origin/main': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
16:55:35       [exec] Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
16:55:35       [exec] 'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

I believe it implies we would have to change our *-unzipped repositories (which we do not have read or write access to do). We do not use the tagged aqa-tests repo for running TCKs, we use the master branch. We will need to raise a EF helpdesk in order to make changes to *-unzipped repos and I would not want to be attempting to do it prior to our July release.

What is your JCK_GIT_BRANCH value in Grinder? Is it set to master?

[smlambert]

I do not have that parameter in our Grinders, so it was unset. I see in our test jobs it is set to master. I am going to create a metric called NumberOfAQAvitParams which must be nearing 100 by now. What can be done to reduce the number, or at least slow the steady growth.

I think we should raise an EF helpdesk ticket to update Adoptium *-unzipped repos to main after the July release so that we do not have to maintain code for both master and main.

💯 agree
