We should add a remark about the optional --skip-build argument to the usage message of run-javascriptcore-tests.

Is that how the arg is named for run-webkit-tests?  I feel like we must have this sort of arg elsewhere.

Both old-run-webkit-tests and run-webkit-tests.py have a --no-build option which is analogous to --skip-build. Note, for old-run-webkit-tests this option isn't listed in its usage message. We should add it.

For consistency, we should either chose to use --skip-build or --no-build. Note, to change run-javascriptcore-tests to use the latter we'll need to modify the buildbot configuration which references --skip-build.

Rename --skip-build to --no-build to be consistent with the option of the same name in run-webkit-tests. We should follow up and add a build option to old-run-webkit-tests (it only has --no-build, but new-run-webkit-tests also has a --build option). We should also add the --no-build option to the usage message for old-run-webkit-tests.

OK.  This will require a master restart.

As discussed with Eric Seidel on IRC yesterday (06/16/2011), I'm going to land this in three parts. Part 1 will add the --build/--no-build option to run-javascriptcore-tests. Part 2 will change the buildbot master config. Part 3 will remove the --skip-build option from run-javascriptcore-tests once the master buildbot pick up this configuration.

It seems unit tests are failing to build after this patch was landed:

It's unclear to me why. I mean, we shouldn't be compiling such API tests for GTK. I filed <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62892> for this.

I misread, this is also failing on the Snow Leopard Debug build machine. In order to roll this out we need to roll out r89138, restart the buildbot master and then roll out r89136.

Using a debug build of r89139, I was able to successfully run build-api-tests --debug (which is called by run-api-tests) on Mac OS 10.6.7. For some reason the Snow Leopard Debug bot just calls build-api-tests (without the --debug flag).

Support for running unit tests was added to the build bot master config as part of bug #62603. Notice, the patch will make the bot always calls run-api-tests (without the --debug argument). Hence, the bot will attempt a release build, but this fails since the bot has a debug build.

See bug #62918 for more details.
