We have a weird behavior of the lpassigner.py script

[Andrey Nikitin]

Hello!

We have a weird behavior of lpassigner.py script which implemented on Custom scripts infrastructure. For example, we have a list with bugs not assigned correctly (https://custom-scripts.infra.mirantis.net/job/lp-assigner/104/console):

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1497965
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1497608.

So, this situation should be investigated and script should be updated (if it's needed) to fix the problem.

Unfortunately, the referenced console log has expired long ago - is there a more recent example or a description of script's abnormal behaviour?

[Andrey Nikitin (heos)]

Unfortunately, I have no more debug information. I think, we can investigate it, when that job will be run again. So, current bug can be marked as Incomplete and assigned on Fuel Devops team to get more information.

[Alexander Lomski (aliaksandr-lomski)]

Can you change the bug then? I do not have permissions to assign it to devops team.

I have additional information about the script from the mail thread with the subject "FYI Fuel McRobotson script is now active":

1. First of all, this script shouldn't use 'future' branche to target the bugs - We must attempt to fix all bugs in 9.0, and not making a decision now that some of the bugs should wait for a bright "future".
2. Many bugs that were fix committed or fix released are now proposed to Next release as New. That's not going to be the case. QA should be the only group to drop a bug out of fix committed or fix released state (or if we find a very obvious regression through another bug report)
3. Priority should remain the same as 8.0 as it does in 9.0/mitaka, not "undecided".

[Dmitry Pyzhov (dpyzhov)]

Moving to High because we need the script running for 8.0 on regular basis. And this bug blocks it.

Improved milestone/series version comparison.

Bugs with "Fix Committed" and "Fix Released" status will not change status
when targeting to a new series/milestone.

Bugs will retain their importance.

Version sorting for milestones/series has been exported to a new library which
correctly compares versions for Launchpad `MOS` and `Fuel` projects (including
Fuel new version names like "mitaka" etc). This should also get resolve any
issues with "future" being targeted.
