Triage Regression

This skill creates or updates triage records via the Sippy API, linking one or more Component Readiness regressions to a JIRA bug.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

• File a triage record for one or more regressions identified by the analyze-regression command
• Link multiple related regressions to a single JIRA bug
• Update an existing triage to add more regressions or change details

Prerequisites

1. OpenShift CLI Authentication: Required for authenticating to the sippy-auth API

   • Must be logged into the DPCR cluster via oc login
   • Cluster API: https://api.cr.j7t7.p1.openshiftapps.com:6443
   • Use the oc-auth skill to obtain the Bearer token

2. Python 3: Python 3.6 or later

   • Check: python3 --version
   • Uses only standard library (no external dependencies)

3. Input Data: Requires regression IDs, a JIRA bug URL, and a triage type

   • Regression IDs: from Component Readiness UI or fetch-regression-details skill
   • JIRA URL: an existing JIRA bug (e.g., https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OCPBUGS-12345)
   • Triage type: product, test, ci-infra, or product-infra

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Obtain Authentication Token

Use the oc-auth skill to obtain a Bearer token from the DPCR cluster:

# Get token from the DPCR cluster context
# The oc-auth skill's curl_with_token.sh uses this cluster for sippy-auth
DPCR_CLUSTER="https://api.cr.j7t7.p1.openshiftapps.com:6443"

# Find the oc context for the DPCR cluster and get the token
CONTEXT=$(oc config get-contexts -o name 2>/dev/null | while read -r ctx; do
  server=$(oc config view -o jsonpath="{.clusters[?(@.name=='$(oc config view -o jsonpath="{.contexts[?(@.name=='$ctx')].context.cluster}" 2>/dev/null)')].cluster.server}" 2>/dev/null || echo "")
  server_clean=$(echo "$server" | sed -E 's|^https?://||')
  if [ "$server_clean" = "api.cr.j7t7.p1.openshiftapps.com:6443" ]; then
    echo "$ctx"
    break
  fi
done)

if [ -z "$CONTEXT" ]; then
  echo "Error: Not logged into DPCR cluster. Please run: oc login $DPCR_CLUSTER"
  exit 1
fi

TOKEN=$(oc whoami -t --context="$CONTEXT" 2>/dev/null)
if [ -z "$TOKEN" ]; then
  echo "Error: Failed to get token. Please re-authenticate to DPCR cluster."
  exit 1
fi

Step 2: Run the Python Script

script_path="plugins/ci/skills/triage-regression/triage_regression.py"

# Create a new triage for one regression
python3 "$script_path" 33639 \
  --token "$TOKEN" \
  --url "https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OCPBUGS-12345" \
  --type product \
  --format json

# Create a new triage for multiple regressions
python3 "$script_path" 33639,33640,33641 \
  --token "$TOKEN" \
  --url "https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OCPBUGS-12345" \
  --type product \
  --description "API discovery regression across metal variants" \
  --format json

# Update an existing triage to add more regressions (url and type inherited from existing triage)
python3 "$script_path" 33639,33640,33641,33642 \
  --token "$TOKEN" \
  --triage-id 456 \
  --format json

Arguments:

• regression_ids: Required comma-separated list of regression IDs (integers)

Required Options:

• --token <token>: OAuth Bearer token for sippy-auth (obtained from oc-auth skill)
• --url <jira_url>: JIRA bug URL (required for create, optional for update - uses existing value)
• --type <triage_type>: Triage type: product, test, ci-infra, product-infra (required for create, optional for update - uses existing value)

Options:

• --triage-id <id>: Existing triage ID to update (omit to create new)
• --description <text>: Description for the triage
• --format json|summary: Output format (default: json)

Step 3: Parse the Output

output=$(python3 "$script_path" 33639 \
  --token "$TOKEN" \
  --url "https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OCPBUGS-12345" \
  --type product \
  --format json)

success=$(echo "$output" | jq -r '.success')

if [ "$success" = "true" ]; then
  triage_id=$(echo "$output" | jq -r '.triage.id')
  echo "Triage created with ID: $triage_id"
else
  error=$(echo "$output" | jq -r '.error')
  echo "Error: $error"
fi

Triage Types

Type	Description
product	Actual product regressions (default for most bugs)
test	Test framework issues (flaky tests, test bugs)
ci-infra	CI infrastructure problems that did not impact customers
product-infra	Infrastructure problems that impacted CI and customers

API Details

Base URL: https://sippy-auth.dptools.openshift.org

Authentication: Bearer token from the DPCR cluster (api.cr.j7t7.p1.openshiftapps.com:6443)

Create Triage:

• Method: POST
• Endpoint: /api/component_readiness/triages
• Headers: Authorization: Bearer <token>, Content-Type: application/json
• Body:

  {
    "url": "https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OCPBUGS-12345",
    "type": "product",
    "description": "Optional description",

• Method: PUT
• Endpoint: /api/component_readiness/triages/{id}
• Headers: Authorization: Bearer <token>, Content-Type: application/json

Summary Format (--format summary)

Triage Create - SUCCESS
============================================================

Triage ID: 456
URL: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OCPBUGS-12345
Type: product
Description: API discovery regression
Linked Regressions: 1
  - Regression 33639

Error Handling

Case 1: Authentication Failure

{
  "success": false,
  "error": "HTTP error 401: Unauthorized",
  "detail": "",
  "operation": "create",
  "regression_ids": [33639]
}

Re-authenticate to the DPCR cluster and obtain a fresh token.

Case 2: Invalid Regression ID

{
  "success": false,
  "error": "HTTP error 400: Bad Request",
  "detail": "regression ID 99999 not found",
  "operation": "create",
  "regression_ids": [99999]
}

Case 3: Invalid Triage Type

The script validates triage type locally before making the API call:

Error: Invalid type 'invalid'. Must be one of: product, test, ci-infra, product-infra

Exit Codes:

• 0: Success
• 1: Error (invalid input, API error, network error, etc.)

Examples

Example 1: Triage a Single Regression

python3 plugins/ci/skills/triage-regression/triage_regression.py \
  33639 \
  --token "$TOKEN" \
  --url "https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OCPBUGS-12345" \
  --type product \
  --format json

Example 2: Triage Multiple Related Regressions

python3 plugins/ci/skills/triage-regression/triage_regression.py \
  33639,33640,33641 \
  --token "$TOKEN" \
  --url "https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OCPBUGS-12345" \
  --type product \
  --description "Same root cause: API discovery failure across metal variants" \
  --format json

Example 3: Update Existing Triage with Additional Regressions

# First, get the existing triage ID from regression data
existing_triage_id=$(echo "$regression_data" | jq -r '.triages[0].id')

# Update it with additional regression IDs (url and type inherited from existing triage)
python3 plugins/ci/skills/triage-regression/triage_regression.py \
  33639,33640,33641,33642 \
  --token "$TOKEN" \
  --triage-id "$existing_triage_id" \
  --format json

Example 4: Triage a Test Flake

python3 plugins/ci/skills/triage-regression/triage_regression.py \
  33639 \
  --token "$TOKEN" \
  --url "https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OCPBUGS-67890" \
  --type test \
  --description "Flaky test: intermittent timeout in discovery suite" \
  --format json

Notes

• Uses only Python standard library - no external dependencies required
• Authenticates to https://sippy-auth.dptools.openshift.org using a Bearer token from the DPCR cluster
• Use the oc-auth skill to obtain the token (requires oc login to DPCR cluster)
• Validates triage type locally before making the API call
• When creating, do not provide --triage-id; when updating, --triage-id is required
• The API will validate that all regression IDs exist and return an error if any are missing
• When updating a triage, the script automatically fetches existing regressions and merges them with the new ones (safe additive behavior)
• The API automatically looks up and links the JIRA bug if the URL matches an imported bug
