Views (D7) co-maintainer here.

We've got a bunch of RTBCs we want to retest now that the branch is passing with the new QA system, but tests don't seem to be triggered by status changes. See #1417090: Taxonomy term "Representative node" views with filters and sorts don't work for an example.

There are a bunch of old tests are stuck in Postponed with no way to kick-start. And sometimes there's a Retest button and sometimes there isn't, but I think this is for the old system.

Anyone know how to get all of this rolling again? We're getting complaints from the community because we're not able to commit anything, and don't want to without testing to maintain stability. Thanks!

Confirming. This is one of several problems I saw here: https://www.drupal.org/node/2634104#comment-10664062, where I had to re-upload a patch to get it re-tested. A simple status change does not suffice.

Old patches that predate drupalci (Prior to Aug 2015) must be resubmitted. There isnt a plan on the roadmap to enable a 'just switch to needs review to make old patches trigger testing'.

Any other patch that was submitted after drupalci has an 'add test' button that allows you to add additional tests to the UI. There is no longer a concept of "retest" - just "add test".

Well that sounds awful. Would this not affect a huge number of patches across contrib space?

Can pre-existing patches not be given the "add test" functionality en masse? (Or if the data structure has completely changed, have them automatically re-added to relevant issues via the new mechanism, without the need for manual re-uploading on a large scale?)

Based on #4, this sounds like a won't fix?
