<div>Hello everyone,</div><div><br></div><div>On Friday July 10th we
intend to change the default try selector from "syntax" to "auto". This
means running `mach try` (with no subcommand) will invoke `mach try
auto` rather than `mach try syntax`. If you don't use try syntax, this
change will not impact your workflow.</div><div><br></div><div>If you do use try syntax (e.g, `mach try -b do ..`), then you have two options:</div><div><br></div><div>1. Type `mach try syntax -b do ..` instead<br></div><div>2. Specify a custom default by editing `~/.mozbuild/machrc` (create it first if it doesn't exist) and adding:</div><div>```</div><div>[try]</div><div>default = syntax</div><div>```</div><div><br></div><div>Try syntax users can make this change to their `machrc` right now for a seamless transition when the change hits central. Please let me know if you have questions or concerns.<br></div><div>
<div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Andrew</div><div><br></div>
</div><div>p.s For those who may be unaware, |mach try syntax| uses an outdated (and poorly supported) method for selecting tasks on try and requires some arcane knowledge. Whereas |mach try auto| is a new selector that aims to make the decision on your behalf, requiring no special CI-related knowledge, thus being a better default.<br></div>
