Optimization and SCHEDULES
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Most optimization of builds and tests is handled with ``SCHEDULES``.
|
|
The concept is this: we allocate tasks into named components, and associate a set of such components to each file in the source tree.
|
|
Given a set of files changed in a push, we then calculate the union of components affected by each file, and remove tasks that are not tagged with any of them.
|
|
|
|
This optimization system is intended to be *conservative*.
|
|
It represents what could *possibly* be affected, rather than any intuitive notion of what tasks would be useful to run for changes to a particular file.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
* ``dom/url/URL.cpp`` schedules tasks on all platform and could potentially cause failures in any test suite
|
|
|
|
* ``dom/system/mac/CoreLocationLocationProvider.mm`` could not possibly affect any platform but ``macosx``, but potentially any test suite
|
|
|
|
* ``python/mozbuild/mozbuild/preprocessor.py`` could possibly affect any platform, and should also schedule Python lint tasks
|
|
|
|
Exclusive and Inclusive
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
The first wrinkle in this "simple" plan is that there are a lot of files, and for the most part they all affect most components.
|
|
But there are some components which are only affected by a well-defined set of files.
|
|
For example, a Python lint component need only be scheduled when Python files are changed.
|
|
|
|
We divide the components into "exclusive" and "inclusive" components.
|
|
Absent any other configuration, any file in the repository is assumed to affect all of the exclusive components and none of the inclusive components.
|
|
|
|
Exclusive components can be thought of as a series of families.
|
|
For example, the platform (linux, windows, macosx, android) is a component family.
|
|
The test suite (mochitest, reftest, xpcshell, etc.) is another.
|
|
By default, source files are associated with every component in every family.
|
|
This means tasks tagged with an exclusive component will *always* run, unless none of the modified source files are associated with that component.
|
|
|
|
But what if we only want to run a particular task when a pre-determined file is modified?
|
|
This is where inclusive components are used.
|
|
Any task tagged with an inclusive component will *only* be run when a source file associated with that component is modified.
|
|
Lint tasks and well separated unittest tasks are good examples of things you might want to schedule inclusively.
|
|
|
|
A good way to keep this straight is to think of exclusive platform-family components (``macosx``, ``android``, ``windows``, ``linux``) and inclusive linting components (``py-lint``, ``js-lint``).
|
|
An arbitrary file in the repository affects all platform families, but does not necessarily require a lint run.
|
|
But we can configure mac-only files such as ``CoreLocationLocationProvider.mm`` to affect exclusively ``macosx``, and Python files like ``preprocessor.py`` to affect ``py-lint`` in addition to the exclusive components.
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to define a file as affecting an inclusive component and nothing else.
|
|
For example, the source code and configuration for the Python linting tasks does not affect any tasks other than linting.
|
|
|
|
.. note:
|
|
|
|
Most unit test suite tasks are allocated to components for their platform family and for the test suite.
|
|
This indicates that if a platform family is affected (for example, ``android``) then the builds for that platform should execute as well as the full test suite.
|
|
If only a single suite is affected (for example, by a change to a reftest source file), then the reftests should execute for all platforms.
|
|
|
|
However, some test suites, for which the set of contributing files are well-defined, are represented as inclusive components.
|
|
These components will not be executed by default for any platform families, but only when one or more of the contributing files are changed.
|
|

Specification
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Components are defined as either inclusive or exclusive in :py:mod:`mozbuild.schedules`.
|
|
|
|
File Annotation
|
|
:::::::::::::::
|
|
|
|
Files are annotated with their affected components in ``moz.build`` files with stanzas like ::
|
|
|
|
|
|
with Files('**/*.py'):
|
|
SCHEDULES.inclusive += ['py-lint']
|
|
|
|
for inclusive components and ::
|
|
|
|
with Files('*gradle*'):
|
|
SCHEDULES.exclusive = ['android']
|
|
|
|
for exclusive components.
|
|
Note the use of ``+=`` for inclusive compoenents (as this is adding to the existing set of affected components) but ``=`` for exclusive components (as this is resetting the affected set to something smaller).
|
|
For cases where an inclusive component is affected exclusively (such as the python-lint configuration in the example above), that component can be assigned to ``SCHEDULES.exclusive``::
|
|
|
|
with Files('**/pep8rc'):
|
|
SCHEDULES.exclusive = ['py-lint']
|
|
|
|
If multiple stanzas set ``SCHEDULES.exclusive``, the last one will take precedence. Thus the following will set ``SCHEDULES.exclusive`` to ``hpux`` for all files except those under ``docs/``.
|
|
|
|
with Files('**'):
|
|
SCHEDULES.exclusive = ['hpux']
|
|
|
|
with Files('**/docs'):
|
|
SCHEDULES.exclusive = ['docs']
|
|
|
|
Task Annotation
|
|
:::::::::::::::
|
|
|
|
Tasks are annotated with the components they belong to using the ``"skip-unless-schedules"`` optimization, which takes a list of components for this task::
|
|
|
|
task['optimization'] = {'skip-unless-schedules': ['windows', 'gtest']}
|
|
|
|
For tests, this value is set automatically by the test transform based on the suite name and the platform family, doing the correct thing for inclusive test suites.
|
|
Tests also use SETA via ``"skip-unless-schedules-or-seta"``, which skips a task if it is not affected *or* if SETA deems it unimportant.
