To solve T186208: Magul's quick tests doesn't run anymore I decided to create a Toolforge tool for Pywikibot (either in new tool, or use existing "pywikibot" tool).
The tool needs to communicate with Gerrit these ways:
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resolved | Xqt | T186206 Misleaded tests and maintenance pages after renaming of github repository (tracking) | |||
| Resolved | Xqt | T186208 Magul's quick tests doesn't run anymore | |||
| Resolved | Legoktm | T248262 Grant Pywikibot-gerritbot an access to Gerrit stream (stream-events group) |
Approved from my perspective. @Dvorapa can you create a separate account for this? I can add it to the Non-interactive users group then.
For whatever reason I don't see that account in Gerrit...have you been able to log into Gerrit with it?
I see it in LDAP though: https://tools.wmflabs.org/ldap/user/pywikibot-gerritbot
@Dvorapa I would also create the user page on wikitech so people know what the account is for.
You might find https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/labs/tools/wikibugs2/+/master/grrrrit.py#226 useful as a starting point.
Making some notes here that will be easier to find than in Striker.
@Dvorapa created https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/tools/membership/status/783 to request Toolforge membership for the new Pywikibot-gerritbot Wikimedia developer account. I have declined that request, not to block this work, but because it should not be necessary. A Toolforge membership is needed to become a tool maintainer and create or co-maintain a Toolforge tool. Toolforge members should almost always be real humans and single user accounts. We also typically decline Toolforge membership requests for a "bot" account that is an alt of a Wikimedia user.
Instead of being a Toolforge member and tool maintainer, the Gerrit ssh key credentials connected to the Pywikibot-gerritbot shared use account should be used from inside a tool that is co-maintained by @Dvorapa and other PWB maintainers. This is what is done for a tool like wikibugs which is maintained by multiple Toolforge members, but uses the Gerrit ssh credentials of the SuchABot Wikimedia developer account to communicate with Gerrit.
