Bug 203970 – Move jsc from Resources to Helpers

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: JavaScriptCore

[Keith Rollin]

'jsc' is a supporting application or tool, not a resource. As such, it should go into Helpers, per <https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2206/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40007919-CH1-TNTAG201>

Do we know that this won't break a bunch of existing scripts and such? I know I'll have to update my $PATH.

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

I think that we also need to update the symlink in /usr/local/bin

In what way? The link will already be created to point to the new location for jsc (the script that creates the link uses INSTALL_PATH, which was updated to point to Helpers). Is there some other updating that needs to be done?

Anyone know what scripts might be affected and that I should look into?

Looks like run-jsc-stress-tests, for one.

And sunspider-compare-results. Which highlights for me that we probably need a link from the framework root directory to the right Versions directory on macOS.

I'm going with this set, unless anyone else knows others that should be added:

% rg "Resource.*jsc"
run-jsc-stress-tests
309:    jscArg = Pathname.new(output).join("JavaScriptCore.framework", "Resources", "jsc") if !File.file?(jscArg)
328:    $jscPath = $bundle + ".vm" + "JavaScriptCore.framework" + "Resources" + "jsc"
538:    pathToBundleResourceFromBenchmarkDirectory($jscPath)
1743:        $jscPath = destinationFrameworkPath + "Resources" + "jsc"

webkitdirs.pm
479:    return "$productDir/JavaScriptCore.framework/Resources/$jscName";

sunspider-compare-results
101:    my $path = "/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaScriptCore.framework/Resources/jsc";

run-layout-jsc
28:jscCmd="/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaScriptCore.framework/Resources/jsc"

test262/Runner.pm
607:        $jsc = $jscDir . '/JavaScriptCore.framework/Resources/jsc' if (! -e $jsc);

Then it should be all good for the symlink.

[Keith Rollin]

Moving "jsc" to Helpers also has the effect of moving other tools to Helpers:

% ll ./macos-production-default-default-default/webkit-build/SafariRoot/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaScriptCore.framework/Versions/A/Helpers

I think it is what we want. But I'll check all our scripts to see if this move will break any of them.

Mark had r+'d the previous patch, but I've made enough changes in the update that someone should probably look them over again.

jsc EWS seems to be failing with 69441 failures. Please wait for ews to complete https://webkit-queues.webkit.org/patch/383465/jsc-ews

[Keith Rollin]

Failed to run "['Tools/Scripts/run-javascriptcore-tests', '--no-fail-fast', '--release', u'--json-output=/Volumes/Data/EWS/WebKit/WebKitBuild/Release/jsc_test_results.json']" exit_code: 1

Maybe run-javascriptcore-tests can't find one of the tools I moved. I'll check.

[Keith Rollin]

I *am* seeing lots of errors like:

stress/async-await-mozilla.js.ftl-no-cjit-validate-sampling-profiler: test_script_1109: line 2: ../../.vm/JavaScriptCore.framework/Helpers/jsc: No such file or directory

Which initially seems odd, since "Helpers" should be the right directory. I'll check it out.

[Keith Rollin]

I don't know what that ".vm" is about. Is that right?

[Keith Rollin]

Regardless of that ".vm", the WebKitBuild/Release/JavaScriptCore.framework directory does not have a Helpers directory when building for jsc testing. I have no idea where the "jsc" tool ended up. Or the other tools. They aren't in Resources, either.

[Keith Rollin]

During a Release build, should any of those JSC tools end up in the .framework bundle at all? They're in the root Release directory, which I think is where I'd expect them in a Release build.

[Keith Rollin]

OK, I see the problem. Trying to copy 'jsc' to 'Resources' works because Xcode pre-creates that and other standard directories. However, trying to copy 'jsc' to 'Helpers' doesn't work because that directory is not pre-created. Since the destination directory didn't exist, the copy command failed. Fixed this by adding a line to ensure that the destination directory exists.

jsc EWS is passing this time, so the patch looks good.

[Keith Rollin]

This patch is still available for review.

Seems fine to me. Although, I have a feeling you're going to have a long tail of people filing bugs that their scripts don't work anymore. :(
