+:title: Project Gating
+
+Project Gating
+==============
+
+Traditionally, many software development projects merge changes from
+developers into the repository, and then identify regressions
+resulting from those changes (perhaps by running a test suite with a
+continuous integration system such as Jenkins), followed by more
+patches to fix those bugs. When the mainline of development is
+broken, it can be very frustrating for developers and can cause lost
+productivity, particularly so when the number of contributors or
+contributions is large.
+
+The process of gating attempts to prevent changes that introduce
+regressions from being merged. This keeps the mainline of development
+open and working for all developers, and only when a change is
+confirmed to work without disruption is it merged.
+
+Many projects practice an informal method of gating where developers
+with mainline commit access ensure that a test suite runs before
+merging a change. With more developers, more changes, and more
+comprehensive test suites, that process does not scale very well, and
+is not the best use of a developer's time. Zuul can help automate
+this process, with a particular emphasis on ensuring large numbers of
+changes are tested correctly.
+
+Zuul was designed to handle the workflow of the OpenStack project, but
+can be used with any project.
+
+A particular focus of Zuul is ensuring correctly ordered testing of
+changes in parallel. A gating system should always test each change
+applied to the tip of the branch exactly as it is going to be merged.
+A simple way to do that would be to test one change at a time, and
+merge it only if it passes tests. That works very well, but if
+changes take a long time to test, developers may have to wait a long
+time for their changes to make it into the repository. With some
+projects, it may take hours to test changes, and it is easy for
+developers to create changes at a rate faster than they can be tested
+and merged.
+
+Zuul's DependentQueueManager allows for parallel execution of test
+jobs for gating while ensuring changes are tested correctly, exactly
+as if they had been tested one at a time. It does this by performing
+speculative execution of test jobs; it assumes that all jobs will
+succeed and tests them in parallel accordingly. If they do succeed,
+they can all be merged. However, if one fails, then changes that were
+expecting it to succeed are re-tested without the failed change. In
+the best case, as many changes as execution contexts are available may
+be tested in parallel and merged at once. In the worst case, changes
+are tested one at a time (as each subsequent change fails, changes
+behind it start again). In practice, the OpenStack project observes
+something closer to the best case.
+
+For example, if a core developer approves five changes in rapid
+succession::
+
+ A, B, C, D, E
+
+Zuul queues those changes in the order they were approved, and notes
+that each subsequent change depends on the one ahead of it merging::
+
+ A <-- B <-- C <-- D <-- E
+
+Zuul then starts immediately testing all of the changes in parallel.
+But in the case of changes that depend on others, it instructs the
+test system to include the changes ahead of it, with the assumption
+they pass. That means jobs testing change *B* include change *A* as
+well::
+
+ Jobs for A: merge change A, then test
+ Jobs for B: merge changes A and B, then test
+ Jobs for C: merge changes A, B and C, then test
+ Jobs for D: merge changes A, B, C and D, then test
+ Jobs for E: merge changes A, B, C, D and E, then test
+
+If changes *A* and *B* pass tests, and *C*, *D*, and *E* fail::
+
+ A[pass] <-- B[pass] <-- C[fail] <-- D[fail] <-- E[fail]
+
+Zuul will merge change *A* followed by change *B*, leaving this queue::
+
+ C[fail] <-- D[fail] <-- E[fail]
+
+Since *D* was dependent on *C*, it is not clear whether *D*'s failure is the
+result of a defect in *D* or *C*::
+
+ C[fail] <-- D[unknown] <-- E[unknown]
+
+Since *C* failed, it will report the failure and drop *C* from the queue::
+
+ D[unknown] <-- E[unknown]
+
+This queue is the same as if two new changes had just arrived, so Zuul
+starts the process again testing *D* against the tip of the branch, and
+*E* against *D*.

+Zuul - A Project Gating System
+==============================
+
+Zuul is a program that is used to gate the source code repository of a
+project so that changes are only merged if they pass tests.
+
+The main component of Zuul is the scheduler. It receives events
+related to proposed changes (currently from Gerrit), triggers tests
+based on those events (currently on Jenkins), and reports back.

+:title: Launchers
+
+Launchers
+=========
+
+Zuul has a modular architecture for launching jobs. Currently only
+Jenkins is supported, but it should be fairly easy to add a module to
+support other systems. Zuul makes very few assumptions about the
+interface to a launcher -- if it can trigger jobs, cancel them, and
+receive success or failure reports, it should be able to be used with
+Zuul. Patches to this effect are welcome.
+
+Jenkins
+-------
+
+Zuul works with Jenkins using the Jenkins API and the notification
+module. It uses the Jenkins API to trigger jobs, passing in
+parameters indicating what should be tested. It recieves
+notifications on job completion via the notification API (so jobs must
+be conifigured to notify Zuul).
+
+Jenkins Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Zuul will need access to a Jenkins user. Create a user in Jenkins,
+and then visit the configuration page for the user:
+
+ https://jenkins.example.com/user/USERNAME/configure
+
+And click **Show API Token** to retrieve the API token for that user.
+You will need this later when configuring Zuul. Make sure that this
+user has appropriate permission to build any jobs that you want Zuul
+to trigger.
+
+Make sure the notification plugin is installed. Visit the plugin
+manager on your jenkins:
+
+ https://jenkins.example.com/pluginManager/
+
+And install **Jenkins Notification plugin**. The homepage for the
+plugin is at:
+
+ https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Notification+Plugin
+
+Jenkins Job Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For each job that you want Zuul to trigger, you will need to add a
+notification endpoint for the job on that job's configuration page.
+Click **Add Endpoint** and enter the following values:
+
+**Protocol**
+ ``HTTP``
+**URL**
+ ``http://127.0.0.1:8001/jenkins_endpoint``
+
+If you are running Zuul on a different server than Jenkins, enter the
+appropriate URL. Note that Zuul itself has no access controls, so
+ensure that only Jenkins is permitted to access that URL.
+
+Zuul will pass some parameters to Jenkins for every job it launches.
+Check **This build is parameterized**, and add the following fields
+with the type **String Parameter**:
+
+**UUID**
+ Zuul provided key to link builds with Gerrit events
+**GERRIT_PROJECT**
+ Zuul provided project name
+**GERRIT_BRANCH**
+ Zuul provided branch name
+**GERRIT_CHANGES**
+ Zuul provided list of dependent changes to merge
+
+You may find it useful to use the ``GERRIT_*`` variables in your job.
+In particular, ``GERRIT_CHANGES`` indicates the change or changes that
+should be tested. If Zuul has decided that more than one change
+should be merged and tested together, they will all be listed in
+``GERRIT_CHANGES``. The format for the description of one change is::
+
+ project:branch:refspec
+
+And multiple changes are separated by a carat ("^"). E.g.::
+
+ testproject:master:refs/changes/20/420/1^testproject:master:refs/changes/21/421/1"
+
+The OpenStack project uses the following script to update the
+repository in a workspace and merge appropriate changes:
+
+ https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ci-puppet/blob/master/modules/jenkins_slave/files/slave_scripts/gerrit-git-prep.sh
+
+Gerrit events that do not include a change (e.g., ref-updated events
+which are emitted after a git ref is updated (i.e., a commit is merged
+to master)) require a slightly different set of parameters:
+
+**UUID**
+ Zuul provided key to link builds with Gerrit events
+**GERRIT_PROJECT**
+ Zuul provided project name
+**GERRIT_REFNAME**
+ Zuul provided ref name
+**GERRIT_OLDREV**
+ Zuul provided old reference for ref-updated
+**GERRIT_NEWREV**
+ Zuul provided new reference for ref-updated

+:title: Triggers
+
+Triggers
+========
+
+The process of merging a change starts with proposing a change to be
+merged. Currently Zuul only supports Gerrit as a triggering system.
+Zuul's design is modular, so alternate triggering and reporting
+systems can be supported. However, Gerrit has a particularly robust
+data model, and Zuul does make some assumptions that include that data
+model. Nonetheless, patches to support alternate systems are welcome.
+
+Gerrit
+------
+
+Zuul works with standard versions of Gerrit by invoking the ``gerrit
+stream-events`` command over an SSH connection. It also reports back
+to Gerrit using SSH.
+
+Gerrit Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Zuul will need access to a Gerrit user. Consider naming the user
+*Jenkins* so that developers see that feedback from changes is from
+Jenkins (Zuul attempts to stay out of the way of developers, most
+shouldn't even need to know it's there).
+
+Create an SSH keypair for Zuul to use if there isn't one already, and
+create a Gerrit user with that key::
+
+ cat ~/id_rsa.pub | ssh -p29418 gerrit.example.com gerrit create-account --ssh-key - --full-name Jenkins jenkins
+
+Give that user whatever permissions will be needed on the projects you
+want Zuul to gate. For instance, you may want to grant ``Verified
++/-1`` and ``Submit`` to the user. Additional categories or values may
+be added to Gerrit. Zuul is very flexible and can take advantage of
+those.

+
+Zuul
+====
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+Zuul has three configuration files:
+
+**zuul.conf**
+ Credentials for Gerrit and Jenkins, locations of the other config files
+**layout.yaml**
+ Project and queue configuration -- what Zuul does
+**logging.conf**
+ Python logging config
+
+Examples of each of the three files can be found in the etc/ directory
+of the source distribution.
+
+zuul.conf
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+Zuul will look for ``/etc/zuul/zuul.conf`` or ``~/zuul.conf`` to
+bootstrap its configuration. Alternately, you may specify ``-c
+/path/to/zuul.conf`` on the command line.
+
+Gerrit and Jenkins credentials are each described in a section of
+zuul.conf. The location of the other two configuration files (as well
+as the location of the PID file when running Zuul as a server) are
+specified in a third section.
+
+layout.yaml
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This is the main configuration file for Zuul, where all of the queues
+and projects are defined, what tests should be run, and what actions
+Zuul should perform. There are three sections: queues, jobs, and
+projects.
+
+Queues
+""""""
+
+Zuul can have any number of independent queues. Whenever a matching
+Gerrit event is found for a queue, that event is added to the queue,
+and the jobs specified for that queue are run. When all jobs
+specified for the queue that were triggered by an event are completed,
+Zuul reports back to Gerrit the results.
+
+There are no pre-defined queues in Zuul, rather you can define
+whatever queues you need in the layout file. This is a very flexible
+system that can accommodate many kinds of workflows.
+
+Here is a quick example of a queue definition followed by an
+explanation of each of the parameters::
+
+ - name: check
+ manager: IndependentQueueManager
+ trigger:
+ - event: patchset-created
+ success:
+ verified: 1
+ failure:
+ verified: -1
+
+**name**
+ This is used later in the project definition to indicate what jobs
+ should be run for events in the queue.
+
+**manager**
+ There are currently two schemes for managing queues:
+
+ *IndependentQueueManager*
+ Every event in this queue should be treated as independent of
+ other events in the queue. This is appropriate when the order of
+ events in the queue doesn't matter because the results of the
+ actions this queue performs can not affect other events in the
+ queue. For example, when a change is first uploaded for review,
+ you may want to run tests on that change to provide early feedback
+ to reviewers. At the end of the tests, the change is not going to
+ be merged, so it is safe to run these tests in parallel without
+ regard to any other changes in the queue. They are independent.
+
+ Another type of queue that is independent is a post-merge queue.
+ In that case, the changes have already merged, so the results can
+ not affect any other events in the queue.
+
+ *DependentQueueManager*
+ The dependent queue manager is designed for gating. It ensures
+ that every change is tested exactly as it is going to be merged
+ into the repository. An ideal gating system would test one change
+ at a time, applied to the tip of the repository, and only if that
+ change passed tests would it be merged. Then the next change in
+ line would be tested the same way. In order to achieve parallel
+ testing of changes, the dependent queue manager performs
+ speculative execution on changes. It orders changes based on
+ their entry into the queue. It begins testing all changes in
+ parallel, assuming that each change ahead in the queue will pass
+ its tests. If they all succeed, all the changes can be tested and
+ merged in parallel. If a change near the front of the queue fails
+ its tests, each change behind it ignores whatever tests have been
+ completed and are tested again without the change in front. This
+ way gate tests may run in parallel but still be tested correctly,
+ exactly as they will appear in the repository when merged.
+
+ One important characteristic of the DependentQueueManager is that
+ it analyzes the jobs that are triggered by different projects, and
+ if those projects have jobs in common, it treats those projects as
+ related, and they share a single virtual queue of changes. Thus,
+ if there is a job that performs integration testing on two
+ projects, those two projects will automatically share a virtual
+ change queue. If a third project does not invoke that job, it
+ will be part of a separate virtual change queue, and changes to it
+ will not depend on changes to the first two jobs.
+
+ For more detail on the theory and operation of Zuul's
+ DependentQueueManager, see: :doc:`gating`.
+
+**trigger**
+ This describes what Gerrit events should be placed in the queue.
+ Triggers are not exclusive -- matching events may be placed in
+ multiple queues, and they will behave independently in each of the
+ queues they match. Multiple triggers may be listed. Further
+ parameters describe the kind of events that match:
+
+ *event*
+ The event name from gerrit. Examples: ``patchset-created``,
+ ``comment-added``, ``ref-updated``. This field is treated as a
+ regular expression.
+
+ *branch*
+ The branch associated with the event. Example: ``master``. This
+ field is treated as a regular expression, and multiple branches may
+ be listed.
+
+ *ref*
+ On ref-updated events, the branch parameter is not used, instead the
+ ref is provided. Currently Gerrit has the somewhat idiosyncratic
+ behavior of specifying bare refs for branch names (e.g., ``master``),
+ but full ref names for other kinds of refs (e.g., ``refs/tags/foo``).
+ Zuul matches what you put here exactly against what Gerrit
+ provides. This field is treated as a regular expression, and
+ multiple refs may be listed.
+
+ *approval*
+ This is only used for ``comment-added`` events. It only matches if
+ the event has a matching approval associated with it. Example:
+ ``code-review: 2`` matches a ``+2`` vote on the code review category.
+ Multiple approvals may be listed.
+
+**success**
+ Describes what Zuul should do if all the jobs complete successfully.
+ This section is optional; if it is omitted, Zuul will run jobs and
+ do nothing on success; it will not even report a message to Gerrit.
+ If the section is present, it will leave a message on the Gerrit
+ review. Each additional argument is assumed to be an argument to
+ ``gerrit review``, with the boolean value of ``true`` simply
+ indicating that the argument should be present without following it
+ with a value. For example, ``verified: 1`` becomes ``gerrit
+ review --verified 1`` and ``submit: true`` becomes ``gerrit review
+ --submit``.
+
+**failure**
+ Uses the same syntax as **success**, but describes what Zuul should
+ do if at least one job fails.
+
+Some example queue configurations are included in the sample layout
+file. The first is called a *check* queue::
+
+ - name: check
+ manager: IndependentQueueManager
+ trigger:
+ - event: patchset-created
+ success:
+ verified: 1
+ failure:
+ verified: -1
+
+This will trigger jobs each time a new patchset (or change) is
+uploaded to Gerrit, and report +/-1 values to Gerrit in the
+``verified`` review category. ::
+
+ - name: gate
+ manager: DependentQueueManager
+ trigger:
+ - event: comment-added
+ approval:
+ - approved: 1
+ success:
+ verified: 2
+ submit: true
+ failure:
+ verified: -2
+
+This will trigger jobs whenever a reviewer leaves a vote of ``1`` in the
+``approved`` review category in Gerrit (a non-standard category).
+Changes will be tested in such a way as to guarantee that they will be
+merged exactly as tested, though that will happen in parallel by
+creating a virtual queue of dependent changes and performing
+speculative execution of jobs. ::
+
+ - name: post
+ manager: IndependentQueueManager
+ trigger:
+ - event: ref-updated
+ ref: ^(?!refs/).*$
+
+This will trigger jobs whenever a change is merged to a named branch
+(e.g., ``master``). No output will be reported to Gerrit. This is
+useful for side effects such as creating per-commit tarballs. ::
+
+ - name: silent
+ manager: IndependentQueueManager
+ trigger:
+ - event: patchset-created
+
+This also triggers jobs when changes are uploaded to Gerrit, but no
+results are reported to Gerrit. This is useful for jobs that are in
+development and not yet ready to be presented to developers.
+
+Jobs
+""""
+
+The jobs section is optional, and can be used to set attributes of
+jobs that are independent of their association with a project. For
+example, if a job should return a customized message on failure, that
+may be specified here. Otherwise, Zuul does not need to be told about
+each job as it builds a list from the project specification.
+
+**name**
+ The name of the job. This field is treated as a regular expression
+ and will be applied to each job that matches.
+
+**failure-message**
+ The message that should be reported to Gerrit if the job fails
+ (optional).
+
+**success-message**
+ The message that should be reported to Gerrit if the job fails
+ (optional).
+
+**branch**
+ This job should only be run on matching branches. This field is
+ treated as a regular expression and multiple branches may be
+ listed.
+
+Here is an example of setting the failure message for jobs that check
+whether a change merges cleanly::
+
+ - name: ^.*-merge$
+ failure-message: This change was unable to be automatically merged
+ with the current state of the repository. Please rebase your
+ change and upload a new patchset.
+
+Projects
+""""""""
+
+The projects section indicates what jobs should be run in each queue
+for events associated with each project. It contains a list of
+projects. Here is an example::
+
+ - name: example/project
+ check:
+ - project-merge:
+ - project-unittest
+ - project-pep8
+ - project-pyflakes
+ gate:
+ - project-merge:
+ - project-unittest
+ - project-pep8
+ - project-pyflakes
+ post:
+ - project-publish
+
+**name**
+ The name of the project (as known by Gerrit).
+
+This is followed by a section for each of the queues defined above.
+Queues may be omitted if no jobs should run for this project in a
+given queue. Within the queue section, the jobs that should be
+executed are listed. If a job is entered as a dictionary key, then
+jobs contained within that key are only executed if the key job
+succeeds. In the above example, project-unittest, project-pep8, and
+project-pyflakes are only executed if project-merge succeeds. This
+can help avoid running unnecessary jobs.
+
+.. seealso:: The OpenStack Zuul configuration for a comprehensive example: https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ci-puppet/blob/master/modules/openstack-ci-config/files/zuul/layout.yaml
+
+
+logging.conf
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+This file is optional. If provided, it should be a standard
+:mod:`logging.config` module configuration file. If not present, Zuul will
+output all log messages of DEBUG level or higher to the console.
+
+Starting Zuul
+-------------
+
+To start Zuul, run **zuul-server**::
+
+ usage: zuul-server [-h] [-c CONFIG] [-d]
+
+ Project gating system.
+
+ optional arguments:
+ -h, --help show this help message and exit
+ -c CONFIG specify the config file
+ -d do not run as a daemon
+
+You may want to use the ``-d`` argument while you are initially setting
+up Zuul so you can detect any configuration errors quickly. Under
+normal operation, omit ``-d`` and let Zuul run as a daemon.
+
+If you send signal 1 (SIGHUP) to the zuul-server process, Zuul will
+stop executing new jobs, wait until all executing jobs are finished,
+reload its configuration, and resume. Any values in any of the
+configuration files may be changed, except the location of Zuul's PID
+file (a change to that will be ignored until Zuul is restarted).
