green builds not visible in mixed series

[Fabien Tassin]

In a given series, when at least one arch has either failed or is unpublished or has missing deps (...), getBuildSummariesForSourceIds() doesn't report anything about successful builds:

Compare this build: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/1153380/+listing-archive-extra
(6 arches successful, 1 failed = sparc)

only the sparc build is visible. nothing about the other 6 arches.

it's especially painful when watching this: http://people.ubuntu.com/~fta/ppa-dashboard/ubuntu-mozilla-security--ppa.html
or this: http://people.ubuntu.com/~fta/ppa-dashboard/mozillateam--ffox35.html

[Michael Nelson (michael.nelson)]

Yes, the getBuildSummariesForSourceIds() was originally created and exposed just for the PPA Ajax updating (which, by design, only shows you the one failed build in the UI, even if there are 4 successful), where we wanted the information only for the current batch of builds displayed on the page.

Now that it's being used for other things, I agree it should be generally useful (and the PPA page JS can be updated to only use the info it is interested in) - either that or we should think through a better solution to suit your needs... maybe simply: IArchive.getBuildSummaries() which returned a summary of the builds for all the currently published sources?

[Fabien Tassin (fta)]

is there a work-around i can use until it's being fixed?
/+listing-archive-extra has everything i need, but i can't find it in the API

[Julian Edwards (julian-edwards)]

That is a page fragment and is not in the API as such. Why don't you jump in and add some code in Launchpad to return what you need? One of us will be happy to sponsor you.

[Fabien Tassin (fta)]

..but the problem is that i have no idea where to start.
I assume i need a local instance and it seems impossible to replicate a setup with the build information i want to expose.

I would probably be able to do it on my own h/w if there was a package ready to install, but i understand there's none.
