= Try Server = | |||
The try server is an easy way to test a patch without actually checking the patch into the core repository. Your code will go through the same tests as a mozilla-central push, and you'll be able to download builds if you wish. | |||
To use try server, you need a [http://www.mozilla.org/hacking/committer/ Mozilla hg account] ([http://www.mozilla.org/hacking/commit-access-policy/ level 1] is sufficient). | |||
== How to push to try == | |||
To submit a change to the try server: | |||
* For changes to mozilla-central or close enough (e.g. tracemonkey branch), you can <code>hg push -f ssh://hg.mozilla.org/try/</code> <br/>''or''<br/><code>hg push -f ssh://<username@host@>hg.mozilla.org/try/</code> | |||
To see the results: | |||
* You'll get an email from each builder with results. | |||
* Look for your changeset on the [http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=MozillaTry Try Tinderbox] or [http://tests.themasta.com/tinderboxpushlog/?tree=MozillaTry Try TBPL]. | |||
* Download your completed builds from [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tryserver-builds/?C=M;O=D firefox/tryserver-builds on ftp.m.o]. | |||
If you're using [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mercurial_Queues Mercurial queues], the <code>push -f</code> command pushes any patches that are currently applied, and the Try server will build the result. (This is an awesome feature, not a bug!) | |||
You don’t need to clone or pull from the <code>try</code> repo, and you probably don’t want to. You’d get every half-baked changeset anybody ever tested. | |||
See [http://blog.mozilla.com/jorendorff/2008/08/18/push-to-try/ Jorendorff's blog] for more details. | |||
== Using a custom mozconfig == | |||
If you want to use setting other than those in the [http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/file/tip/mozilla2/linux/tryserver default mozconfigs ] (linux example). Then you need to push an '''extra file''' to the $topsrcdir either: | |||
* '''mozconfig-extra''' with settings to be applied to all mozconfigs | |||
* '''mozconfig-extra-$platform''' to apply changes only to that platform's mozconfig | |||
The options you enable/disable in your custom mozconfig are appended to the existing config after the default set. | |||
== What Gets Tried == | |||
Try Server now tests the pretty much the same things as mozilla-central: 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, opt and debug builds, unit tests and perf tests. | |||
The current Try Server is based on the [http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ mozilla-central] branch. 1.9.2 based try is coming soon, and is being tracked in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563822 bug 563822] | |||
A push to try kicks off these builders by default: | |||

== Other Notes == | |||
* Finished builds will be deleted after '''14 days'''. | |||
* If you have any problems please [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=mozilla.org&component=Release%20Engineering&status_whiteboard=tryserver file a bug] | |||
* The default mozconfigs used for tryserver builds are available in Hg: http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/file/default/mozilla2/$platform/tryserver | |||
* Uploading an alternate mozconfig appends to the default mozconfigs. | |||
* Windows builds have symbols uploaded to http://build.mozilla.org/tryserver-symbols. Windbg and the Visual Studio debugger may use them to help debug crashing try server builds. Instructions for setting this up can be found here: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Using_the_Mozilla_symbol_server. Make sure you use the aforementioned URL instead of http://symbols.mozilla.org/firefox. | |||
