I was surprised to see that the (candidate) branch
flutter-3.33.0-candidate.0
was left in a "Waiting for backfill" state in 678de86.The cause is because the back-filler is subtly hard-coded to run on:
main
ormaster
) branch for supported repositoriesflutter-X.XX-candidate.X
) that are currently live on the respectivestable
orbeta
branches in flutter/flutterflutter/flutter/ios-experimental
Unfortunately that means that new, but not yet published, candidate branches are missed.
For
flutter/flutter
, the only repository where new branches are supported, we could (1) consider backfilling any branch that has had a commit as a result of a merged PR in the past{DURATION}
, say the last 7 days. The other option (2) is a semi-manual trigger, i.e. adding branches that request aRun all tasks
to a TLLd "watch this branch for the next N days".If we could pull off option (1) it has less manual components and does not require more state tracking.
