<h2>2️⃣ Major performance milestones for testing, thanks to some work by @fjgarlin inspired by @Björn Brala (bbrala)<span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link project-issue-status-info project-issue-status-7"><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/gitlab_ci_testbed_for_drupal_core/issues/3375826" title="Status: Closed (fixed)">#3375826: Investigate performance optimizations</a></span>#comment-15201276This should core a lot closer to being able to fully adopt Gitlab CI for testing. (edited) </h2>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Brad Jones</td>
<td>Huge kudos to @fjgarlin and also @Björn Brala (bbrala) who appears to have suggested the tmpfs fix. I'll have to try this on my own projects/self hosted gitlab, too!</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>hestenet (he/him)</td>
<td>Yes, thank you Bjorn as well!</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>fjgarlin</td>
<td>Bjorn has been paramount for this one. I tried many other changes before and none had a real big impact, so I followed his suggestion, made it into an MR and tested it all… and we are here celebrating now :grin:</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Björn Brala (bbrala)</td>
<td>❤️ Ran into it when moving update bot to gitlab and trying to understand why it was so much slower. The build directory was in memory on drupalci also. :sweat_smile:</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>kimb0</td>
<td>Massive! 💙</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>wimleers (he/him)</td>
<td>Everyone in DAT is excited about GitLab CI because of this I think :smile:</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Björn Brala (bbrala)</td>
<td>Haha</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>catch</td>
<td>OK I have to ask - when can we switch core testing over?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Björn Brala (bbrala)</td>
<td>Not sure if all issues are fixed yet.@fjgarlin was working on some kinks</td>

<td>fjgarlin</td>
<td>The MR to follow is here: <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/gitlab_ci_testbed_for_drupal_core/-/merge_requests/5">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/gitlab_ci_testbed_for_drupal_core/-/merge_requests/5</a> (related d.o issue [#2010368]This is a the latest pipeline: <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/gitlab_ci_testbed_for_drupal_core/-/pipelines/17300As">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/gitlab_ci_testbed_for_drupal_core/-/pipelines/17300As</a> you can see, the only job failing is Function Javascript, with one test file ImageUrlTest containing all the fails. I couldn’t figure that one out and was hoping for help.So the blockers would be fixing the above test + the three core issues.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>catch</td>
<td>@fjgarlin is there a core issue for ImageUrlTest - these should all be critical core bugs fwiw.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>fjgarlin</td>
<td>since I couldn’t figure out why it was failing I did not create an issue for it, because the only evidence that I have is the above gitlabci job failing, but not DrupalCI.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>fjgarlin</td>
<td>I believe that @hestenet (he/him) was going to mention the above issues in the next DA + core committers meeting happening next week.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>catch</td>
<td>It's fine to create an issue without knowing why it fails, someone might have an idea. I bumped those three to critical bugs and committed the RTBC one.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>catch</td>
<td>If it's an issue only affecting one test and a mystery, we could also mark just that test skipped then re-enable it post-switch once we've figured it out.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>fjgarlin</td>
<td>Ok. I will create the issue then and try to add as much details as possible. thanks so much for the updates on the other issues too.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>fjgarlin</td>
<td>@catch - just created <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link project-issue-status-info project-issue-status-7"><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3384764" title="Status: Closed (fixed)">#3384764: ImageUrlTest fails on GitlabCI integration</a></span> as per your suggestion above.maybe @wimleers (he/him) is interested in having a look at some point as it’s ckeditor5 related.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>fjgarlin</td>
<td>@wimleers (he/him) - @catch found the culprit for the above issue, for which I suggested a MR and it’s in Needs review now with green tests waiting for someone to RTBC, in case you want to give us the green light.</td>

Date is still tbd - but working with @nnewton to figure out when we're going to start those DB upgrades.</td>

<td>Perhaps investing in a silly matrix for a day would be a good one here. Have a good set of contrib run on all the versions by temporarily adding perhaps a triggered job in the template</td>

<td>That could work</td>
