Bug 221943 – [perf.webkit.org] Do not schedule jobs to Buildbot if the last job failed

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Dean Johnson]

The syncing scripts for A/B infrastructure currently only require that there are no pending builds and no running test groups assigned to a builder before a new test group is assigned to it. This means that if a builder becomes available, then runs a test that puts the host into a state where it fails until someone manually fixes it, the broken host can fail all pending jobs that match the failing configuration.

To address this, we will start running periodic health checks against the A/B queues for a buildmaster and only schedule jobs when the last build (or health check) succeeded and previously noted conditions are true.

Ditto per https://webkit.org/code-style-guidelines/#zero-comparison

buildTag doesn't guarantee to be indicative of build time, but in Buildbot case, the larger build tag means more recent

> +            if (syncer.isTester() && nextRequest.order() == 0 && !syncer.lastCompletedBuildSuccessful())

Nit: per webkit code style guideline https://webkit.org/code-style-guidelines/#zero-comparison, it should be `!nextRequest.order()`
Also leave a comment about currently limiting to tester syncer.

r=me with comments.
