June 20, 2017: Release 9460.65.0
Moblab has been updated to 9460.65.0 Here are important features/bug fixes launched in this release: The Run Suite UI now allows CTS_N and GTS suites to be run but with a filtered list of autotest tests. By default all jobs are run but if you supply a comma separated list of test only those tests will be run in the suite. When specifying the list of tests to run do not include the cheets_CTS_N or cheets_GTS prefix An example list of test cases to run for CTS_N: arm.CtsAppTestCases, x86.CtsAppTestCases, x86.CtsCameraTestCases An example list of test cases to run for GTS: GtsGmscoreHostTestCases, GtsFeaturesTestCases Setup for Partner Console notifications is now automatic. Previously if you were enabled for the Chrome OS Partner Console you had to upload your credentials and change some "Config Settings" in the Moblab UI. This process has been automated. When you perform a setup now, your moblab credentials will be uploaded from your bucket and settings changes are applied automatically. There have been some major changes to how the apache server runs on moblab. These changes should reduce the amount of memory consumed and in general make things faster. We still require you to have 16GB RAM if you are running CTS/GTS however some qual use cases should work with just 4GB RAM. Multiple bug fixes have been made to improve Moblab’s stability & performance Testing has shown that after the upgrade some users see blank page in the web browser, if you experience any issues like this, please try holding the shift button and reload of the page on chrome browser.

Enabling this flag will tar and compress test result directories that contain more than 500 files. This particularly affects CTS / GTS results where we see reduction in amount of upload network bandwidth used.
If you want to use this feature without doing a full powerwash, please change the gs_offloader_limit_file_count in "Config Settings" of the ui moblab_setup and set the value to true. - Multiple bug fixes have been made to improve Moblab’s stability & performance
