Update Verification

verify.sh

Does a low-level check of all advertised MAR files. Expects to have a file named all-locales, but does not (yet) handle platform exceptions, so these should be removed from the locales file.

Prints errors on both STDOUT and STDIN, the intention is to run the script with STDOUT redirected to an output log. If there is not output on the console and an exit code of 0 then all tests pass; otherwise one or more tests failed.

Does the following:

1. download update.xml from AUS for a particular release
2. download the partial and full mar advertised
3. check that the partial and full match the advertised size and sha1sum
4. downloads the latest release, and an older release
5. applies MAR to the older release, and compares the two releases.

Step 5 is repeated for both the complete and partial MAR.

Expects to have an updates.cfg file, describing all releases to try updating from.

Valid Platforms for AUS

• Linux_x86-gcc3
• Darwin_Universal-gcc3
• Linux_x86-gcc3
• WINNT_x86-msvc
• Darwin_ppc-gcc3

Running it locally

Requirements:

• Docker
• [optional | Mac] zstd (brew install zst)

Docker Image

1. Ship-it holds the latest builds.
2. Clicking on "Ship task" of latest build will open the task group in Taskcluster.
3. On the "Name contains" lookup box, search for release-update-verify-firefox and open a update-verify task
4. Make note of the CHANNEL under Payload. ie: beta-localtest
5. Click "See more" under Task Details and open the docker-image-update-verify task.

Download the image artifact from docker-image-update-verify task and load it manually

zstd -d image.tar.zst
docker image load -i image.tar

OR

Load docker image using mach and a task

# Replace TASK-ID with the ID of a docker-image-update-verify task
./mach taskcluster-load-image --task-id=<TASK-ID>

Update Verify Config

1. Open Taskcluster Task Group
2. Search for update-verify-config and open the task
3. Under Artifacts, download update-verify.cfg file

Run Docker

To run the container interactively:

Replace <MOZ DIRECTORY> with gecko repository path on local host
Replace <UVC PATH> with path to update-verify.cfg file on local host. ie.: ~/Downloads/update-verify.cfg Replace <CHANNEL> with value from update-verify task (Docker steps)

docker run \
  -it \
  --rm \
  -e CHANNEL=beta-localtest \
  -e MOZ_FETCHES_DIR=/builds/worker/fetches \
  -e MOZBUILD_STATE_PATH=/builds/worker/.mozbuild \
  -v <UVC PATH>:/builds/worker/fetches/update-verify.cfg
  -v <MOZ DIRECTORY>:/builds/worker/checkouts/gecko \
  -w /builds/worker/checkouts/gecko \
  update-verify

Note that MOZ_FETCHES_DIR here is different from what is used in production.

total-chunks and this-chunk refer to the number of lines in update-verify.cfg

./tools/update-verify/scripts/chunked-verify.sh --total-chunks=228 --this-chunk=4
