Rolling the stone November 23rd, 2007
Hello! I hope everybody south of the 49th (on this continent, north of the … ok, those of you in the USofA) are enjoying a great long weekend filled with lots of pilgrim food and pumpkin pie. For those of you taking the day to do some insane, pre-december shopping, I wish you the best of luck. For the rest of you, Happy Friday!
I’ve been picking at Bob Clary’s JavaScript testing frameworks, called Sisyphus from here-on out, for many months now. He’s been patiently explaining it to me and making it better and easier to use. So, at long last we have a linux machine reporting some results to the oft-burning MozillaTest tinderbox tree (as “Linux Sisyphus js”, “Linux Sisyphus opt browser” and “Linux Sisyphus debug browser”). Currently it’s running the JS test portion against trunk on checkin. At midnight and 6am, a nightly build happens (opt and then debug) building the browser and running the Browser JS tests using the Spider extension. These test suites have grown over the last ten years and the full set takes quite awhile to run against the browser. Also, the logs are LONG. Once we figure out what data we’re interested in, we’ll try to pare down the output and possibly setup a logserver to contain the logs, sparing tinderbox and our networks some of the agony. Expect the other platforms to follow along shortly.
Also, while I’m posting update-type things, the Windows Talos boxes on the main Firefox tree will soon be replaced by the Windows XP Minis. You have been warned…
