citgm-smoker-nobuild not working

[sam-github]

I'm not sure if it used to.

Last failed:

• https://ci.nodejs.org/view/Node.js-citgm/job/citgm-smoker-nobuild/703/console

Earliest fail with a log:

• https://ci.nodejs.org/view/Node.js-citgm/job/citgm-smoker-nobuild/698/console

All are:

This might be related to a change @richardlau made on2019-12-19_20-14-05 :

Changed that to None, will try a build, see if that helps.

[sam-github]

seemed to have helped a bit: https://ci.nodejs.org/view/Node.js-citgm/job/citgm-smoker-nobuild/704/console

[AshCripps]

is that job working properly? looks like the builds fail immediately after one test failure?

EDIT:
examples:
https://ci.nodejs.org/view/Node.js-citgm/job/citgm-smoker-nobuild/nodes=rhel7-s390x/704/
https://ci.nodejs.org/view/Node.js-citgm/job/citgm-smoker-nobuild/nodes=aix61-ppc64/704/

Is this intended behaviour?

[sam-github]

I don't know, but doesn't look right to me, either. At this point, perhaps we should wait for the people with more experience setting the citgm jobs up to step in.

[BethGriggs]

@AshCripps that was the expected behaviour for that run - I wanted to check whether moment was failing on all platforms before skipping it in nodejs/citgm#777

Parameters now working as expected - https://ci.nodejs.org/view/Node.js-citgm/job/citgm-smoker-nobuild/nodes=rhel7-s390x/704

Sorry about that — I must have inadvertently clicked the radio button.

[sam-github]

OK, I was worried something else would break. It sounds like switching back to an scm of none was the right fix.

@BethGriggs can you close if this is now working as expected?
