Gerrit drafts aren't currently testable:
- there is a undocumented recheck feature to run basic Jenkins tests, but no documented testing command
- it's not possible anymore to manually trigger a build from Jenkins through Query and Trigger Gerrit Patches ("No jobs triggered for this event")
This is at least a major priority, perhaps a critical one as any serious work on core is currently impeded by the following double constraint:
(1) any change has to be tested (and by the way I'm not writing tests not to run it)
(2) any change on Gerrit changes should be drafts, to avoid flood (per TimStarling request)
Run tests locally can't seriously considered as a viable solution, per the RAM/CPU required for these tests compared to the Jenkins servers power and the fact Jenkins tasks are comprehensive and up to date.
