If you use |mach try fuzzy| or |mach try chooser|, you've probably noticed
the line:
*Task configuration changed, generating target task set*
Followed by a 20-30 second delay as we rebuild the taskgraph locally. I
just landed a change in bug 1546757
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1546757> to make it easier to
use watchman <https://facebook.github.io/watchman/>
to do this computation in the background whenever a file under /taskcluster
is modified. With this feature enabled re-generating in the foreground will
be
extremely rare.
Follow the instructions here to get it set up:
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/tools/try/tasks.html#configuring-watchman
While watchman purportedly works everywhere, I haven't personally tested
the trigger across platforms. So if you run into issues please ping me or
file a bug under Firefox Build System :: Try.
Cheers,
Andrew
