It's a waste of resources to post patches just to find out if you've fixed all the compiler errors for a subset of ports. It would be nice if there was a way to specify which port(s) a patch should be run on so EWS doesn't spend time building and running tests on patches meant to test build fixes. 1659376 1 ap 2020-06-04 16:03:41 -0700 I'm skeptical about this. This would make it really difficult to tell if EWS was green. And I don't know how much EWS should trust engineer's opinion that they didn't break anything unexpectedly. 1659692 2 ddkilzer 2020-06-05 10:52:12 -0700 (In reply to Alexey Proskuryakov from comment #1) > I'm skeptical about this.

We could use a different color for bubbles with skipped platforms. This would not be used for the "final" patch for review; only for intermediate patches where an engineer is trying to make a patch compile for a port that they don't have access to build. Obviously this requires some trust, but marking skipped platforms with a different color would make this pretty obvious. Maybe commit-queue could refuse to commit a patch with skipped platforms, too. Of course, maybe developers would be too lazy to use this anyway, so implementing it wouldn't be useful. :)
