Bug 67324 – filter test_expectations properly for chromium-mac vs chromium-cg-mac

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/94031 added support for chromium-mac (non-CoreGraphics) baseline images, but it did not provide for filtering of lines in test_expectations by this characteristic.

We need this filtering so that we can allow for the known differences between CG and Skia rendering.

Updated patch against tip-of-tree so that buildbots can apply the patch.  No other changes made.

Looks plausible, but I'm going to let one of the experts on this code review your patch.

Thanks for working on this. I'm hoping we can make the change in a way that special-cases CG/Skia a bit less and hopefully keeps the code more maintainable.

Also, please add tests. I'm pretty sure most of this code is already unittested. You can run the unittests by running test-webkitpy.

At a higher level, I'm not sure we should tie CG/Skia-ness to GPU/CPU. Should it instead just be a separate modifier that's just ignored on the non-mac ports? e.g.
BUG_FOO CPU CG : ...
BUG_FOO SKIA : ....

> Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/layout_tests/port/base.py:390
> +            path = self._filesystem.join(platform_dir, baseline_filename)
> +        else:
> +            path = self._filesystem.join(self.layout_tests_dir(), baseline_filename)
> +        return path

Why change this? The old code was fine. In fact, webkit generally prefers early returns.

> Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/layout_tests/port/base.py:958
> +        """Tells this platform whether gpu-accelerated graphics are enabled."""

Here and below: WebKit generally doesn't have comments that tell *what* the code is doing. Comments should be for cases where you need extra explanation for *why* the code is doing it.

Some of the existing code in this file doesn't follow that rule, but new code we add should.

> Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/layout_tests/port/base.py:962
> +    def _get_graphics_type_gpu_enabled(self):

WebKit doesn't use "get" prefixes for getters. So, this should just be "_graphics_type_gpu_enabled".

These names seem unnecessarily verbose to me. How about:
_set_gpu_enabled
_gpu_enabled
_set_using_cg
_using_cg

> Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/layout_tests/port/base.py:983

> +        self._graphics_type_cached = graphics_type

Caching this seems like premature optimization to me. Did this caching actually make a difference in the overall time it takes to run all the tests? If not, can you just move this logic into "graphics_type"? If so, can you give numbers?

Also, if we avoid the caching, then we can drop all these set/get methods and just do what the old code was doing (set/get the appropriate properties directly).

Here and elsewhere, there's no point in writing "CPU GPU" since that's all the graphics types, right? Can you just delete those modifiers?

(Ignoring the lower-level stuff until we get this part sorted out...)

I agree that it would be simpler to allow separate SKIA and/or CG modifiers, rather than combining it with the CPU/GPU modifiers.

However, the decision had been made previously (in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66705 ) to organize it this way.  Please see the discussion there, including some clarifying questions I had asked that were never answered. 

Should we undo the decision that was made on that other bug?  Or do I misunderstand something?

In the current arrangement, "CPU GPU" means "Skia, not CG".  ("CPU-CG GPU-CG" would mean "CG, not Skia")

None of the cpu/cpu-cg stuff belongs in this file. You should push all of this into chromium_mac.py and just override graphics_type() there.

I think these implementation details are very dependent on the resolution to Ojan's higher-level concerns.
 Dirk, do you have any thoughts on those concerns?

Thanks...

Ojan is right in theory that CG/Skia is orthogonal to CPU/GPU, and so it could be another modifier. In practice, though, I'm not sure that it matters that much, and in theory this is a short-lived transition, so I'd probably stick with the existing plan and expand the graphics_type to the four-modifier list. It's true that other ports could ignore the CG/Skia flag, but other (non-Chromium) ports don't even have the cpu/gpu concept.

Sorry, I hadn't seen the discussion on that bug. I'm fine with the high-level approach. It's weird to me, but hopefully we'll be getting rid of CG entirely in the near future and then we can simplify the code again, so it's fine. The bit that confused me was that I didn't realize CPU/GPU implied Skia.

OK, I'll stick with the current high-level approach but try to address the lower-level concerns.  I'll update the bug with a new patch, probably on Tuesday morning, when it's ready for further review.

Thanks.

I have moved all of the changes into chromium_mac and chromium_gpu.

As discussed elsewhere, "CPU GPU" means "all graphics types EXCEPT Core Graphics".

The test_expectations diffs have changed from the original patch; I have confirmed that all results pass for chromium-cg-mac and chromium-cg-gpu-mac.
