[iOS] run-webkit-tests runs webkit-build-directory on every test

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[David Farler]

At least on the iOS simulator, run-webkit-tests calls webkit-build-directory a lot - at least once per tests with run times between 1/4 and over 2 seconds! I’ll investigate to see if this is affecting other ports and cache the result accordingly. It doesn’t need to be calling out to a Perl script for what is basically a constant.

I checked, this script is called only twice on EFL, so it is an iOS
specific bug.

Maybe mac_config.build_directory call in relay_path causes this problem:

[David Farler]

relay_path is only called a handful of times. The culprit is in webkitpy.port.config.Config.build_directory, so unless a port overrides this somehow, it would be affecting everyone. You can check to see if it is eating up time by enabling debug logging in run-webkit-tests with --debug-rwt-logging.

[David Farler]

I stand corrected - _path_to_image_diff is called for each ref test and I’m constructing a mac Config object in there. Silly. I’ll save the path during construction of the port.

Nit: It seems sufficient to collapse these two line into a single line such that it reads:

(IOSSimulatorPort.__init__): Cache Mac build directory.

(Notice that I removed the word "once" since this is implied by the use of the word "cache").

> Tools/ChangeLog:12
> +        (IOSSimulatorPort.relay_path):
> +        Use cached build directory.

Nit: Similarly I would write the contents of these two lines in a single line.

> Tools/ChangeLog:14
> +        (IOSSimulatorPort._path_to_image_diff):
> +        Use cached build directory.

Ditto.

> Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/port/ios.py:67
> +        self._mac_config = port_config.Config(self._executive, self._filesystem, 'mac')

This instance variable is referenced exactly once (on the line below). Unless you plan to make use of it in subsequent patches in the near future, I suggest we either inline its value into the line below or make it a local variable.
