Hi all,
I just run slow validate and it actually catches bugs (#16529) and some configuration problems in the test definitions (#!700). These are not caught by the CI jobs because they run normal validate instead of slow.
(Actually they don't even run the validate script, but they run "test" instead of "slowtest", which I think is the main difference between normal validate and slow validate)
As far as I can see we have nightly job definitions in .gitlab-ci.yml, which do slow validate, but I'm not sure if those are used?
Would it be possible to switch over to slow validate in CI jobs? If slow validate takes too long on the CI servers, could we maybe configure CI tasks so that if the MR submitter is Marge, we run slow validate, otherwise we run fast validate?
See !710. Cheers, - Ben
