CI timing analysis
julia --startup-file=no --project=contrib/ci-timing contrib/ci-timing/ci_timing_compare.jl <PR-number>
Prints a markdown table, slowest job first, plus a TOTAL row: each job's duration
in the PR's julia-pr build vs. the mean/min/max of the same job name over the
last 7 days of julia-ci-timing
history. ⚠️ = above the weekly max, ✅ = below the weekly min. No Buildkite
token needed; gh is only needed to turn a PR number into a build.
Flags: --build julia-pr/853, --days N, --include-failed, --min-seconds N
(hides short jobs).
Caveats when reading it:
- One build vs. a week of samples — anything inside the min/max band is agent variance, and even ⚠️/✅ rows need a second build to mean anything.
juliasyntax/Launch *jobs are seconds long, so their percentages are noise;--min-seconds 120drops them.- A fleet-wide shift in one direction skews TOTAL and is not a PR effect.
- Broken (never run), running, and superseded retry jobs are excluded; a failed job's time is cut short or stretched by the failure.
For logs behind a slow or failed job, see the buildkite-logs skill.
