build-webkit should collect Visual Studio Express logs and display them

Here is one example script, written in python:

#!/usr/bin/python
from __future__ import with_statement

import codecs
import os.path
import os

webkit_root = "/mnt/svn/webkit-win-ews"
build_root = os.path.join(webkit_root, "WebKitBuild")
obj_root = os.path.join(build_root, "obj")

build_log_paths = []

for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(obj_root):
   for file_name in filenames:
       if file_name == "BuildLog.htm":
           file_path = os.path.join(dirpath, file_name)
           build_log_paths.append(file_path)


for build_log_path in build_log_paths:
    with codecs.open(build_log_path, "r", "utf-16") as build_log:
        print build_log.read()

Ideally we could wire up a hook in build-webkit itself to have them print to the console as they're generated.  But at least we need a script like the one above for the win-ews.

I've not tested this yet, but I'm about to.  I'm very interested in thoughts from folks who actually use windows!

We need something like this to make the win-ews useful.

Yes, I know it just dumps the HTML, but that's *way* better than nothing.

I have slight worries about destroying someone's build environment, but I'm not sure how to proceed except to try.

Actually, lets leave this r? until the win-ews gets a chance. :)  That's the simplest way to test this patch!

Once the win-ews approves this patch, it can be cq+'d

Did you mean to include this fix for WebCore/page/Frame.cpp?

Yes, I'm trying to test the win-ews failing. :)

It looks like you got your intention failure that the patch was intended to provoke.

r- to fix the issues in the Perl code.  Otherwise it looks good.

This needs to use File::Spec->catfile() now:

    system(File::Spec->catfile($scriptDir, "print-vse-failure-logs"));

> WebKitTools/Scripts/print-vse-failure-logs:53
> +            print filenames

Do you really want to print all of these out?

You need to call determineConfigurationForVisualStudio() first to guarantee that this variable is set properly:

    determineConfigurationForVisualStudio()
    return $willUseVCExpressWhenBuilding;

The whole idea with this script is to put something minimal in place that people who actually use windows can make better. :)

Fixed.  Thanks.

But this was infact left-over debug code.  Removed.  Thanks!

[Daniel Bates]

David Kilzer already reviewed this patch and it landed. Here are some remarks I had:

View in context: https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=71964&action=review

> WebKitTools/ChangeLog:11
> +        * Scripts/build-webkit:
> +        * Scripts/print-vse-failure-logs: Added.
> +        * Scripts/webkitdirs.pm:
> +

I suggest that you add a comment about the added function usingVisualStudioExpress() since prepare-ChangeLog does not generate a list of added/modified Perl functions. We should consider adding Perl support to prepare-ChangeLog.

> WebKitTools/Scripts/print-vse-failure-logs:64
> +        print "Found %s Visual Studio Express Build Logs:%s" % (len(build_log_paths), "\n".join(build_log_paths))

Take build_log_paths = ["A", "B"]. Then this line would print:

Found 2 Visual Studio Express Build Logs:A
B

Notice, "A" prints on the first output line.

I think it would be nicer to output something of the form:

Found 2 Visual Studio Express Build Logs:
A
B

Hence, I would add a new-line character ('\n') after "Logs:", such that the line reads:
print "Found %s Visual Studio Express Build Logs:\n%s" % (len(build_log_paths), "\n".join(build_log_paths)).

Do you foresee this command ever being called on its own and/or when there are zero BuildLog.htm files? If so, we may want to make the colon (':') after "Logs:" conditional on there being at least one path in the list build_log_paths. When we do not find any files whose name is BuildLog.htm then we output something of the form:

Found 0 Visual Studio Express Build Logs.

OR

No Visual Studio Express Build Logs found.

> WebKitTools/Scripts/webkitdirs.pm:1191
> +    determineConfigurationForVisualStudio();

Notice, the variable willUseVCExpressWhenBuilding is only set in setupCygwinEnv(). And determineConfigurationForVisualStudio() only calls setupCygwinEnv() if we are building a debug build as per line 286 of webkitdirs.pm <http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebKitTools/Scripts/webkitdirs.pm?rev=70188#L286>.

So, we should call setupCygwinEnv() instead of determineConfigurationForVisualStudio(). Alternatively, we could make determineConfigurationForVisualStudio() always call setupCygwinEnv() (given determineConfigurationForVisualStudio() hasn't been called before; e.g. $configurationForVisualStudio is not defined).

Sorry about that Dan.  I probably shouldn't have set the cq+ flag as Eric didn't request it.

[Eric Seidel (no email)]

Thank you dan and david for the reviews.

@dan:  Honestly this script is mostly a shot in the dark.  I intended it to be half-baked.  Someone who actually uses windows needs to make it work nice.  But even as it is it's better than the current non-existant logs for VSE builds.

[Eric Seidel (no email)]

I may make further improvements to the script once I have the win-ews bot up and running with it.  We'll see.

[Eric Seidel (no email)]

I did a follow-up commit to fix some issues getting this to run on the win-ews bot.  (The script was originally written on the win-ews bot, but I prepared the patch on my mac, and did final testing on my mac.  I had planned to do one final test on the EWS bot but got distracted yesterday.)

Thanks again for the reviews!
