Simscope Release History — v310 — 319

1.319

The component dashboards are now in a dropdown, to allow many dashboard choices on the screen.

2. `feature` Dashboard Date Marker

When showing a specific date on the component dashboard (or home page), Simscope will show a red bar marker indicating the date.

3. `feature` Regression Metadata Diff

When comparing regressions, metadata are now shown.

4. `bugfix` JIRA update without email address

The simscope-jira-update.py script now works for bugs where the assignee does not have an emailAddress attribute.

1.318

In the component dashboard, Simscope will display the latest regression's metadata.

For example, if a coverage regression was run, this will show the latest coverage results.

Here is an example showing coverage:

2. `feature` Saved Charts now show owner indicators

When viewing/editing other user's charts, Simscope now shows the saved chart owner/name.

1.317

1. `feature` Test search table resizing

The test search table now automatically expands for large monitors.

2. `bugfix` Chromium bug with Rule button

The prior version had a bug where the [+] Rule button (on the Signatures page) would render incorrectly.

3. `bugfix` Job duplicate detector now inspects seed field

The duplicate detector now automatically takes the seed field into account.

4. `feature` RabbitMQ Message replies (debugging)

→ see Client Publish

This version has a new feature to improve debugging, where either invalid messages (or all messages) can be sent to a RabbitMQ queue, for later inspection.

This enables debugging regression script errors found in Simscope, even hours later after the regression has run.

Note: messages replies requires the Tunnel version 1.27 or higher.

1.316

1. `feature` Simscope regression finish JSON

Simscope now can optionally accept a JSON regression metadata update during the regr-finish event

If you don't want to change regression metadata, leave the message body blank.

The prior Simscope version had a few minor Javascript issues in chart limits on heatmap charts.

1.315

1. `feature` Saved component search

Component search configurations can now be saved and restored.

2. `feature` Triage stats

The home page and component pages now show basic Triage stats.

3. `feature` Admin Error log link

You can now click the Error Log to view the log in a full window, for easier searching and downloading.

→ This will open a browser window similar to the following:

2021-04-18 17:08:58 [WARN ] Issue restore id=. @error={.}: issues may only contain numbers, letters, dash, underscore, or dot
2021-04-18 17:08:58 [WARN ] Disabled invalid rule id=483.1 @error=invalid search field "t_config"

4. `feature` Click homepage chart to change date

Clicking on a point will change the home page date.

5. `bugfix` Detect unsupported regex

Simscope will now detect unsupported regular expressions and give the user an error message.

For example:

(!foo|bar)

This should be written as:

!(foo|bar)

→ see Regular Expressions

1.314

1. `feature` Add Rule only shows up for untriaged signatures

This prevents users from trying to triage a signature that already has a rule and bug on it.

2. `feature` Component Dashboard tiles

The Component dashboard tiles now includes new tiles:

Number of Issues
CPS

3. `bugfix` Drilldown with Regression metadata not working

The component dashboard can now drilldown properly if either regression name or metadata filters are set.

4. `bugfix` Editing rules now preserves bug

When editing rules, the popup box now restores the prior bug # (if the rule had one).

1.313

Charts can now be shared in Simscope, without needing a login to view.

In the top-right corner of the Chart Editor, click the Trigram ☰
Then click Embed this chart

→ This link contains a &share parameter, which can be viewed by anyone. For example, you can use this to embed a public chart in a Confluence <iframe>.

Here is how to make a shared chart link:

2. `bugfix` Heatmap limits

Heatmap charts with limits now visually show out-of-limit values.

1.312

1. `feature` Statistics tables can be coped to clipboard

Click the + link in the upper-left corner of a statistics table to copy to your clipboard.

Then hit Ctrl-v (or Cmd-v) to paste into an email, Excel, text file, etc.

For example, if you click the + in this table:

This would paste from your clipboard as:

+       Score   Sigs  Pass  Fail  Cycles   Comp     CPS
1c1w    93.4    1     256   18    15.2 M   2.8 d    91
1c2w    96.8    1     300   10    18.1 M   6.9 d    41
2c2w    98.5    1     67    1     3.7 M    4.1 d    13

2. `feature` Tagged-mode unique drilldown

When filtering by tag, Simscope has changed the default to a unique behavior, where only shows tags matching the filter, rather than related tags.

For example, if a job contains the tags 4core+vcs+random, and you filter by core, only 4core (or 2core, etc) will show up in the filter table.

The previous behavior would let you search for jobs containing both 4core and vcs.

To enable the previous drilldown behavior, add this to your simscope.config file:

[tests]
tagdrilldown = true

3. `bugfix` Chart bugfixes

Administrators saving charts into another user's area now displays a warning dialog with confirmation.
Large legends now render properly in fullscreen mode
Long titles now get abbreviated

1.311

`feature` Download CSV for Users and Regressions

The Users and Regressions tables can now be downloaded in CSV format.

`feature` Dashboard: Maximize

Dashboard charts can now be maximized by clicking the button in the top-right corner.

`bugfix` Chart errors now show links

Charts with errors inside of dashboards now render a link to the chart details, so they can be investigated.

`feature` Components can now have multiple Dashboard templates

This example sets up two component dashboard templates:

[chart]
dashboardtemplate = "pdq/Unit Dashboard"
dashboardtemplate = "pdq/Integration Dashboard"

`feature` Filter component Dashboard by job category

For example, you can filter to just show simulations.

`bugfix` Projects without workspacepath

[project] sections in simscope.config no longer require a workspacepath field, for groups not needing a workspace in their plugins.

1.310

1. `feature` Tanking LIVE regressions

LIVE regressions can now be tanked.

If future jobs are imported into tanked regressions, they will be dropped automatically.

2. `feature` Administrators can edit any chart

Administrators can now save over any user's chart, and can also rename or delete them.

Note: to save into a user's area prefix the chart name with USERID/Chart Name
