This will configure and build the +source, then run a series of tests. See the --help message for many different +ways of suppressing various actions or changing the output. + +The different possible build+test configurations are controlled mostly by JSON +files in a variants/ directory (eg there is a .../variants/plain file for the +above command). + +In automation, the test jobs will run with a dynamically loaded library that +catches crashes and generates minidumps, so that autospider.py can produce a +readable stack trace at the end of the run. Currently this library is only +available on linux64, and is built via the following procedure: + + % git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git + % export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd)/depot_tools + % mkdir breakpad + % cd breakpad + # python must be python2.7 + % fetch breakpad + % cd src + % git fetch https://github.com/hotsphink/breakpad injector + % git checkout FETCH_HEAD + % cd .. + % mkdir obj + % cd obj + # Possibly set $PATH to include a recent gcc + % ../src/configure --enable-static + % mkdir ../root + % make install DESTDIR=$(pwd)/../root + +The shared library will now be in root/usr/local/lib64/libbreakpadinjector.so |
