Bug 102174 – [EFL] Add layout test option to use mesa 3D library.

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: WebKit EFL

[Byungwoo Lee]

layout test are all crashed with some graphic card (NVIDIA/ATI).

And the solution for this is adding LD_LIBRARY_PATH as the below mail.
  http://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-efl/2012-November/000433.html

Need to add this to the layout test option.

Overally LGTM, thanks!

Seems this is like 'toggle' action.
Do we need no-mesa-3d?

I referred other toggle options like 'retry-failures' and those also have --no options.
When --no-mesa-3d is specified, mesa_3d will be set as false. (It works as toggle)

Still little bit weird to me.
But, never mind, there is a precedent in this case. :-)

I like the idea, but I think it can be detected. What about running "ldd" on the WebProcess to check if is linking with mesa or not? We do something similar with "nm" for symbol detection on layout_tests/port/base.py

[Thiago Marcos P. Santos]

CC'ing some GTK/Qt folks because they probably have similar issues. If yes, this solution could go maybe to the xvfbdriver.py.

For more information why we need this patch:

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll apply it.

As you guided, the logic might be something like this. (wrote with shell script)


if [ -n "`ldd WebKitBuild/Debug/bin/WebProcess | grep libGL | grep -v mesa`" ];
    then export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/`uname -m`-linux-gnu/mesa:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH";
fi

Add Raphael, to give some ideas about the portability of this solution.

is this turned on by default?

No, the default action is 'off'.
It is implemented to turn on this feature when '--mesa-3d' option is specified.

Oops. will change.

As I said in webkit-efl mailing list, can't we fix this problem soon ?

This is wrong. My machine runs Ubuntu 32-bits.

$ uname -m
i686

$ ls /usr/lib/i686-linux-gnu/mesa/
ls: cannot access /usr/lib/i686-linux-gnu/mesa/: No such file or directory

What about the detection?

Forgot to mention, platform.machine() is pretty much the same as "uname -m".

`uname -i` returns i386 on Ubuntu 32-bits.

But now, I'm not sure that making mesa library path for all the environment is possible.

This looks like one of the temporary solution.

If making mesa path is insane,
how about passing mesa library path with layout test option?
(e.g. --mesa-3d-path /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa)

The command will be long as setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but it looks more clear.

I don't see much value in putting this into webkitpy itself; it only works on standard GNU/Linux installations and if you are new to the port and having this problem you would not know you need to pass these options anyway.

I'm in favor of either just documenting this problem on the wiki and/or, if possible, detecting if the WebProcess has crashed and printing a message suggesting this might be the cause.

Yes, if there is no simple way to provide this fully portable,
it doesn't have much value as you told.

Updating wiki about this will be the reasonable solution.

I'll discard this bug.

Thanks for everyone :)
