| | #REDIRECT [[ReleaseEngineering/TryServer]] |
| 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].
| |
| * Compare Talos perf numbers using Pike's [http://github.com/Pike/talos-node talos-node].
| |
| * 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 default mozconfigs, you can push an '''extra file''' to the $topsrcdir:
| |
| | |
| * '''mozconfig-extra''' with settings to be applied to all mozconfigs
| |
| * '''mozconfig-extra-$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.
| |
| | |
| The default mozconfigs used for tryserver builds are available in Hg: [http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/file/default/mozilla2/ http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/file/default/mozilla2/]$platform/tryserver ([http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/file/default/mozilla2/linux/tryserver linux example])

| == Pending builds ==
| |
| | |
| You can find information about pending builds and server load at http://build.mozilla.org/builds/pending/try.html .
| |
| | |
| == Other Notes ==
| |
| * Finished builds will be deleted after '''14 days'''.
| |
| * Try repo is reset '''occasionally''', and you may not be able to use TBPL to see your test results after it has been reset.
| |
| * 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]
| |
| * 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.

| * Suggestions for the future can be made [[Build:TryServer:Suggestions|here]]
