PSA: Testing non-Chromium Patches on Chromium Trybots Is Possible
Andrii Shyshkalov
tl;dr If you work on a project which is rolled into chromium/src as DEPS, you can try your CL against any chromium trybot
if project ∊ {V8, Angle, Pdfium, Skia} immediately possible
else requires 1 line change in here (doc) first for project opt-in
How?
Ensure your project is listed in patch_projects here (doc). If not, submit a one-liner CL or request tandrii@ to whitelist it for you.
Just upload your CL for review as you normally do it
Schedule the tryjob to a desired trybot through:
Rietveld UI
git cl try -m tryserver.chromium.{linux,mac,win,android} -b <bot>
Add the line to your CL's description and send it to CQ (or CQ dry run):
CQ_INCLUDE_TRYBOTS=tryserver.chromium.linux:bot1,bot2
What if my project is DEPS-ed into something other than chromium. Can I use this too?
Yes, if that other project uses bot_update (and it should)!
See doc and if in doubt, contact tandrii@
Credits
This is built on top of work of Michael Achenbach (machenbach@) to test V8 patches against chromium. This paved a smooth way for other dependencies to enjoy this, too.
Contact & Bug Reports
tandrii@
Or file a bug.
If you want chromium trybots to run layout tests on your patches,
the relevant folders have to be added here.
Btw, why is whitelisting necessary?
I didn't find automatic way to do it. Ideas are welcome, patches even more so :)
