Bug 91387 – [CMake][EFL] Building jsc causes reconfiguration

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Thiago Marcos P. Santos]

One of the steps of our build bot calls ./Tools/Scripts/run-javascriptcore-tests which calls ./Tools/Scripts/build-jsc internally.

This script builds the "jsc" target, which is fine. The problem is: we are removing the CMakeCache.txt every time we build a target using the convenience perl script "buildCMakeProjectOrExit". In this case, the whole project is reconfigured using the default build options.

This leads to 2 side effects:

- jsc is rebuilt on the bots every time (since it takes different configuration).
- We are not building and running the WebKit2 unit tests on the bots.

We should remove the cache only when running ./Tools/Scripts/build-webkit.

OK

Nit: other => otherwise

Nit: WebKit 2 => WebKit2

I don't see much value in defining the variables $config and $buildPath that are only used towards building the filesystem path to the appropriate file CMakeCache.txt. I would write this as:

my $cacheFilePath = File::Spec->catdir(baseProductDir(), configuration(), "CMakeCache.txt");

> Tools/Scripts/webkitdirs.pm:2130
> +

Nit: I don't feel that this empty line improves the readability of this function and I suggest that we remove it. The body of this function is concise and straightforward to follow without this empty line.
