Could it be made that it also runs if the PR/commit name has "pypy"? (preferably PR name)

It could, but I think the expression would be quite a bit longer?

I think it'd be something like github.event == 'pull_request' && (contains(github.event.pull_request.title, 'pypy') || contains(github.ref, 'pypy') ) && !failure())?

Looks good, and I don't think the expression being longer is a problem, most people wouldn't see this unless they were editing this specific part of the pipeline.

Adding some comments to deconstruct what is happening could help, tho.

For some reason, this test flaked, but it didn't mark the job as failed.

Oh weird. I thought that was failing properly before I converted that whole job to run inside the sytest container... will poke at it shortly.

(Or if you want to try to fix it yourself, turn on Actions in your fork of this repo, push up a branch to your fork, and you should be able to run and iterate on the tests to your heart's desire!)

I believe this is ready to review.

Deviations from our buildkite pipeline:

  • I'm not excluding dinsic branches from tox and mypy tests... if we still want that we can add it back in after merging the broader PR, but I wanted to keep the logic as clear as possible initially.
  • I only check for a newsfile for PRs into develop, which I think is semantically correct. Happy to broaden it back up to checking for all pull requests, though. (Or I guess we also need to check for PRs going into release branches, right? Any other targets we might need?)
  • I'm not uploading _trial_temp/*/*.log from Trial tests -- do we need these, beyond what's already in stdout?
  • I'm not uploading [ "logs/**/*.log", "logs/**/*.log.*", "logs/results.tap" ] from SyTest -- do we need these, beyond what's already in stdout?

This shouldn't be an issue since this repo's dinsic branch should be considered dead now given it's been replaced by the fork over at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-dinsic - this was done after our move to buildkite hence why it still has an exception for it.

I suspect checking for the release branches also makes sense.

  • I'm not uploading _trial_temp/*/*.log from Trial tests -- do we need these, beyond what's already in stdout?

These are the server logs of why a test fails. I usually run the test locally, but sometimes they're useful if something only fails in CI (e.g. a Python or platform difference).

  • I'm not uploading [ "logs/**/*.log", "logs/**/*.log.*", "logs/results.tap" ] from SyTest -- do we need these, beyond what's already in stdout?

What's on standard out for sytest isn't very useful. You really need the results.tap file. If something is failing, the log files are useful to see what the homeserver was doing.

this looks like it could do with a merge from develop to fix buildkite CI, incidentally.

(on which note: isn't the fact it is failing in buildkite but not GHA a red flag?)

That does strike me as a red flag, but with Buildkite not GitHub Actions: This pull request targets develop already. If manually merging develop into this branch would cause the Buildkite tests to pass, then it indicates that Buildkite isn't testing the result of the proposed merge, right?

Dumping them to stdout slowed GitHub Actions' log viewer to a crawl

@richvdh GHA, with merges, acts as if the merge has taken place before running the CI pipeline, this way you get an accurate representation of how the changes can affect develop.

(This is also why bors was mentioned by @callahad, as that tests continually while the target branch is updated, so a CI result from a week ago isn't "outdated" against the target branch (though correct me if I'm wrong on that))

Ah fair enough. The BK pipeline doesn't do the merge_base_branch for the lint steps.

Alright, I think review concerns have been addressed.

Open question: given how GitHub Actions treats artifacts (one big namespace per pipeline run), should we only upload SyTest logs when it fails? It'd make it easier to pick out the ones you want from this list:

Screen Shot 2021-04-06 at 17 45 26

Alternatively: I could name the archives to include the result status ("SyTest Logs PASS ..." or "SyTest Logs FAIL ...").

Unfortunately, I don't think there's a good way to make these viewable directly in the browser: they're just too big to stream into GHA's normal logging, and uploaded artifacts are implicitly wrapped in a zip container.

One vague suggestion i might have is to take those logs files as input for another pipeline step (if they failed) and extract some easily-readable information from there in console-readable format, or a shorter file that gives an analysis of what went wrong, something similar to what we're currently doing at the "top" of buildkite's build pages.

So that's handled by the format_tap.pl script in SyTest which gets run on results.tap upon failure. The result is passed to our annotate-buildkite-plugin... we could probably do similar things easily enough in GHA, but probably best to not block on it.

Synapse 1.32.2 (2021-04-22)
===========================

This release includes a fix for a regression introduced in 1.32.0.

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a regression in Synapse 1.32.0 and 1.32.1 which caused `LoggingContext` errors in plugins. ([\#9857](matrix-org/synapse#9857))


Synapse 1.32.1 (2021-04-21)
===========================

This release fixes [a regression](matrix-org/synapse#9853)
in Synapse 1.32.0 that caused connected Prometheus instances to become unstable.

However, as this release is still subject to the `LoggingContext` change in 1.32.0,
it is recommended to remain on or downgrade to 1.31.0.

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a regression in Synapse 1.32.0 which caused Synapse to report large numbers of Prometheus time series, potentially overwhelming Prometheus instances. ([\#9854](matrix-org/synapse#9854))


Synapse 1.32.0 (2021-04-20)
===========================

**Note:** This release introduces [a regression](matrix-org/synapse#9853)
that can overwhelm connected Prometheus instances. This issue was not present in
1.32.0rc1. If affected, it is recommended to downgrade to 1.31.0 in the meantime, and
follow [these instructions](matrix-org/synapse#9854 (comment))
to clean up any excess writeahead logs.

**Note:** This release also mistakenly included a change that may affected Synapse
modules that import `synapse.logging.context.LoggingContext`, such as
[synapse-s3-storage-provider](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-s3-storage-provider).
This will be fixed in a later Synapse version.

**Note:** This release requires Python 3.6+ and Postgres 9.6+ or SQLite 3.22+.

This release removes the deprecated `GET /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>` admin API. Please use the [v2 API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/admin_api/user_admin_api.rst#query-user-account) instead, which has improved capabilities.

This release requires Application Services to use type `m.login.application_service` when registering users via the `/_matrix/client/r0/register` endpoint to comply with the spec. Please ensure your Application Services are up to date.

If you are using the `packages.matrix.org` Debian repository for Synapse packages,
note that we have recently updated the expiry date on the gpg signing key. If you see an
error similar to `The following signatures were invalid: EXPKEYSIG F473DD4473365DE1`, you
will need to get a fresh copy of the keys. You can do so with:

```sh
sudo wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg https://packages.matrix.org/debian/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg
```

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix the log lines of nested logging contexts. Broke in 1.32.0rc1. ([\#9829](matrix-org/synapse#9829))

- Make `/_matrix/client/r0/register` expect a type of `m.login.application_service` when an Application Service registers a user, to align with [the relevant spec](https://spec.matrix.org/unstable/application-service-api/#server-admin-style-permissions). ([\#9548](matrix-org/synapse#9548))


Internal Changes
----------------

- Replace deprecated `imp` module with successor `importlib`. Contributed by Cristina Muñoz. ([\#9718](matrix-org/synapse#9718))

Synapse 1.31.0 (2021-04-06)
===========================

**Note:** As announced in v1.25.0, and in line with the deprecation policy for platform dependencies, this is the last release to support Python 3.5 and PostgreSQL 9.5. Future versions of Synapse will require Python 3.6+ and PostgreSQL 9.6+, as per our [deprecation policy](docs/deprecation_policy.md).

This is also the last release that the Synapse team will be publishing packages for Debian Stretch and Ubuntu Xenial.


Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Add a document describing the deprecation policy for platform dependencies. ([\#9723](matrix-org/synapse#9723))


Internal Changes
----------------

- Revert using `dmypy run` in lint script. ([\#9720](matrix-org/synapse#9720))
- Pin flake8-bugbear's version. ([\#9734](matrix-org/synapse#9734))


Synapse 1.31.0rc1 (2021-03-30)
==============================

Features
--------

- Add support to OpenID Connect login for requiring attributes on the `userinfo` response. Contributed by Hubbe King. ([\#9609](matrix-org/synapse#9609))

- Only save remote cross-signing and device keys if they're different from the current ones. ([\#9634](matrix-org/synapse#9634))
- Rename storage function to fix spelling and not conflict with another function's name. ([\#9637](matrix-org/synapse#9637))
- Improve performance of federation catch up by sending the latest events in the room to the remote, rather than just the last event sent by the local server. ([\#9640](matrix-org/synapse#9640), [\#9664](matrix-org/synapse#9664))
- In the `federation_client` commandline client, stop automatically adding the URL prefix, so that servlets on other prefixes can be tested. ([\#9645](matrix-org/synapse#9645))
- In the `federation_client` commandline client, handle inline `signing_key`s in `homeserver.yaml`. ([\#9647](matrix-org/synapse#9647))

- Fix type-checking CI on develop. ([\#9709](matrix-org/synapse#9709))


Synapse 1.30.1 (2021-03-26)
===========================

This release is identical to Synapse 1.30.0, with the exception of explicitly
setting a minimum version of Python's Cryptography library to ensure that users
of Synapse are protected from the recent [OpenSSL security advisories](https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-announce/2021-March/000198.html),
especially CVE-2021-3449.

Note that Cryptography defaults to bundling its own statically linked copy of
OpenSSL, which means that you may not be protected by your operating system's
security updates.

It's also worth noting that Cryptography no longer supports Python 3.5, so
admins deploying to older environments may not be protected against this or
future vulnerabilities. Synapse will be dropping support for Python 3.5 at the
end of March.


Updates to the Docker image
---------------------------

- Ensure that the docker container has up to date versions of openssl. ([\#9697](matrix-org/synapse#9697))


Internal Changes
----------------

- Enforce that `cryptography` dependency is up to date to ensure it has the most recent openssl patches. ([\#9697](matrix-org/synapse#9697))


Synapse 1.30.0 (2021-03-22)
===========================

Note that this release deprecates the ability for appservices to
call `POST /_matrix/client/r0/register`  without the body parameter `type`. Appservice
developers should use a `type` value of `m.login.application_service` as
per [the spec](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/application_service/r0.1.2#server-admin-style-permissions).
In future releases, calling this endpoint with an access token - but without a `m.login.application_service`
type - will fail.


No significant changes.

Synapse 1.32.0 (2021-04-20)
===========================

**Note:** This release requires Python 3.6+ and Postgres 9.6+ or SQLite 3.22+.

This release removes the deprecated `GET /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>` admin API. Please use the [v2 API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/admin_api/user_admin_api.rst#query-user-account) instead, which has improved capabilities.

This release requires Application Services to use type `m.login.application_service` when registering users via the `/_matrix/client/r0/register` endpoint to comply with the spec. Please ensure your Application Services are up to date.

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix the log lines of nested logging contexts. Broke in 1.32.0rc1. ([\#9829](matrix-org/synapse#9829))
