Bug 93269 – [nrwt] Get rid of DriverProxy

• Status: REOPENED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Balazs Kelemen]

After bug 92398 there is no real need for it and it's a hack anyway. Let's drop it.

WIP patch

WIP, because I have some problems with webkitpy tests, virtual tests are causing a key error exception with this.

test-webkitpy output

This is my output of test-webkitpy with the patch. I don't really understand what's happening with these virtual test thingies.

[Dirk Pranke]

Heh, yeah, Chromium uses the DriverProxy for virtual tests as well. A virtual test suite is basically a way to say "re-run the tets in directory X with command line flags Y and Z". We use them, for example, to test the compositing tests using both the regular and accelerated code paths..

You can get rid of the DriverProxy on other ports but not Chromium yet.

[Dirk Pranke]

since you've done the legwork, I'll try to get the chromium ports updated this week.

Looks like this is not ready for review.

[Dirk Pranke]

indeed, I thought we had cleared that flag already. thanks!

[Balazs Kelemen]

I'm not going to finish this, as Chromium use the feature and for other ports there should only be one (real) driver anyway. Also probably other ports will use virtual suites as well in the future. I assume we can close this.

[Dirk Pranke]

I still want to get rid of DriverProxy; we should be able to pass arbitrary command line arguments with each test, and it's a hack that we have to run multiple DRTs per worker and switch between them.
