This file has two top-level +properties: `components` and `tasks`. The full list of tasks is +defined by the `tasks` object; each task is an object with a single +property representing the task with the corresponding value an object +representing the task properties. Each task requires the following +top-level properties: + +* `provisionerId`: String. Name of Taskcluster provisioner +* `schedulerId`: String. Name of Taskcluster scheduler +* `deadline`: String. Time until the task expires +* `image`: String. Name of docker image to use for task +* `maxRunTime`: Number. Maximum time in seconds for which the task can + run. +* `artifacts`: Object. List of artifacts and directories to upload; see + Taskcluster documentation. +* `command`: String. Command to run. This is automatically wrapped in a + run_tc command +* `options`: Optional Object. Options to pass into run_tc + - xvfb: Boolean. Enable Xvfb for run + - oom-killer: Boolean. Enable xvfb for run + - hosts: Boolean. Update hosts file with wpt hosts before run + - install-certificates: Boolean. Install wpt certs into OS + certificate store for run + - browser: List. List of browser names for run + - channel: String. Browser channel for run +* `trigger`: Object. Conditions on which to consider task. One or more + of following properties: + - branch: List. List of branch names on which to trigger. + - pull-request: No value. Trigger for pull request actions +* `schedule-if`: Optional Object. Conditions on which task should be + scheduled given it meets the trigger conditions. + - `run-job`: List. Job names for which this task should be considered, + matching the output from `./wpt test-jobs` +* `env`: Optional Object. Environment variables to set when running task. +* `depends-on`: Optional list. List of task names that must be complete + before the current task is scheduled. +* `description`: String. Task description. +* `name`: Optional String. Name to use for the task overriding the + property name. This is useful in combination with substitutions + described below. +* `download-artifacts`: Optional Object. An artifact to download from + a task that this task depends on. This has the following properties: + - `task` - Name of the task producing the artifact + - `glob` - A glob pattern for the filename of the artifact + - `dest` - A directory reltive to the home directory in which to place + the artifact + - `extract` - Optional. A boolean indicating whether an archive artifact + should be extracted in-place. + +## Task Expansions + +Using the above syntax it's possble to describe each task +directly. But typically in a taskgraph there are many common +properties between tasks so it's tedious and error prone to repeat +information that's common to multiple tasks. Therefore the taskgraph +format provides several mechanisms to reuse partial task definitions +across multiple tasks. + +### Components + +The other top-level property in the taskgraph format is +`components`. The value of this property is an object containing named +partial task definitions. Each task definition may contain a property called +`use` which is a list of components to use as the basis for the task +definition. The components list is evaluated in order. If a property +is not previously defined in the output it is added to the output. If +it was previously defined, the value is updated according to the type: + * Strings and numbers are replaced with a new value + * Lists are extended with the additional values + * Objects are updated recursively following the above rules +This means that types must always match between components and the +final value. + +For example +``` +components: + example-1: + list_prop: + - first + - second + object_prop: + key1: value1 + key2: base_value + example-2: + list_prop: + - third + - fourth + object_prop: + key3: + - value3-1 + +tasks: + - example-task: + use: + - example-1 + - example-2 + object_prop: + key2: value2 + key3: + - value3-2 +``` + +will evaluate to the following task: + +``` +example-task: + list_prop: + - first + - second + - third + - fourth + object_prop: + key1: value1 + key2: value2 + key3: + - value3-1 + - value3-2 +``` + +Note that components cannot currently define `use` properties of their own. + +## Substitutions + +Components and tasks can define a property `vars` that holds variables +which are later substituted into the task definition using the syntax +`${vars.property-name}`. For example: + +``` +components: + generic-component: + prop: ${vars.value} + +tasks: + - first: + use: + - generic-component + vars: + value: value1 + - second: + use: + - generic-component + vars: + value: value2 +``` + +Results in the following tasks: + +``` +first: + prop: value1 +second: + prop: value2 +``` + +## Maps + +Instead of defining a task directly, an item in the tasks property may +be an object with a single property `$map`. This object itself has two +child properties; `for` and `do`. The value of `for` is a list of +objects, and the value of `do` is either an object or a list of +objects. For each object in the `for` property, a set of tasks is +created by taking a copy of that object for each task in the `do` +property, updating the object with the properties from the +corresponding `do` object, using the same rules as for components +above, and then processing as for a normal task. `$map` rules can also +be nested. + +Note: Although `$map` shares a name with the `$map` used in json-e +(used. in `.taskcluster.yml`), the semantics are different. + +For example + +``` +components: {} +tasks: + $map: + for: + - vars: + example: value1 + - vars: + example: value2 + do: + example-${vars.example} + prop: ${vars.example} +``` + +Results in the tasks + +``` +example-value1: + prop: value1 +example-value2: + prop: value2 +``` + +Note that in combination with `$map`, variable substitutions are +applied *twice*; once after the `$map` is evaluated and once after the +`use` statements are evaluated. + +## Chunks + +A common requirements for tasks is that they are "chunked" into N +partial tasks. This is handled specially in the syntax. A top level +property `chunks` can be used to define the number of individual +chunks to create for a specific task. Each chunked task is created +with a `chunks` property set to an object containing an `id` property +containing the one-based index of the chunk an a `total` property +containing the total number of chunks. These can be substituted into +the task definition using the same syntax as for `vars` above +e.g. `${chunks.id}`. Note that because task names must be unique, it's +common to specify a `name` property on the task that will override the +property name e.g. + +``` +components: {} +tasks: + - chunked-task: + chunks:2 + command: "task-run --chunk=${chunks.id} --totalChunks=${chunks.total}" + name: task-chunk-${chunks.id} +``` + +creates tasks: + +``` +task-chunk-1: + command: "task-run --chunk=1 --totalChunks=2" +task-chunk-2: + command: "task-run --chunk=2 --totalChunks=2" +``` + +# Overall processing model + +The overall processing model for tasks is as follows: + * Evaluate maps + * Perform subsitutions + * Evaluate use statements + * Expand chunks + * Perform subsitutions + +At each point after maps are evaluated tasks must have a unique name. |
