This short report brings to light some interesting commits to scylla-cluster-tests.git master from the last week.
Commits in the 09f87bb7…1208c230 range are covered.
There were 14 non-merge commits from 9 authors in that period. Some notable commits:
As the new minor release of Manager 3.5.0 is out, it’s now the default version used in tests, and we’re also covering the upgrade path from 3.4.*.
A fix for automatic backporting to perf test branches was made, addressing previous regexp limitations.
ScyllaYaml was updated to support tablets_mode_for_new_keyspaces, now preferred in ScyllaDB 2025.1+ over enable_tablets, which remains for backward compatibility.
hydra commands like update-conf-docs, nemesis-list, and create-nemesis-pipelines no longer require Okta credentials.
To avoid failing tests due to transient issues, we’re now ignoring raft topology connection close errors globally, which could appear due to race conditions between raft and gossip. This will be dropped once gossip is removed.
See you in the next issue of last week in scylla-cluster-tests.git master!
