1Skia Infrastructure
2===================

4This directory contains infrastructure elements.

7Tasks and Jobs
8--------------
9
10Files in this directory define a DAG of tasks which run at every Skia commit. A
11task is a small, self-contained unit which runs via Swarming on a machine in the
12pool. Tasks may be chained together, eg. one task to compile test binaries and
13another to actually run them.
14
15Jobs are collections of related tasks which help define sub-sections of the DAG,
16for example, to be used as try jobs. Each job is defined as an entry point into
17the DAG.
18
19The tasks.json file in this directory is the master list of tasks and jobs for
20the repo. Note that tasks.json is NEVER edited by hand but generated via
21gen_task.go and the input files enumerated below. The
22[Task Scheduler](https://skia.googlesource.com/buildbot/+/master/task_scheduler/README.md)
23reads the tasks.json file at each commit to determine which jobs to run. For
24convenience, gen_tasks.go is provided to generate tasks.json and also to test it
25for correct syntax and detecting cycles and orphaned tasks. Always edit
26gen_tasks.go or one of the following input JSON files, rather than tasks.json
27itself:
28
29  * cfg.json - Basic configuration information for gen_tasks.go.
30  * jobs.json - The master list of all jobs to run. Edit this to add or remove
31      bots.
32
33Whenever gen_tasks.go, any of the above JSON files, or assets are changed, you
34need to run gen_tasks.go to regenerate tasks.json:
35
36	$ go run infra/bots/gen_tasks.go
37
38Or:
39
40	$ cd infra/bots; make train
41
42There is also a test mode which performs sanity-checks and verifies that
43tasks.json is unchanged:
44
45	$ go run infra/bots/gen_tasks.go --test
46
47Or:
48
49	$ cd infra/bots; make test
50
51
52Recipes
53-------
54
55Recipes are the framework used by Skia's infrastructure to perform work inside
56of Swarming tasks. The main elements are:
57
58  * recipes.py - Used for running and testing recipes.
59  * recipes - These are the entry points for each type of task, eg. compiling
60      or running tests.
61  * recipe_modules - Shared modules which are used by recipes.
62  * .recipe_deps - Recipes and modules may depend on modules from other repos.
63      The recipes.py script automatically syncs those dependencies in this
64      directory.
65
66
67Isolate Files
68-------------
69
70These files determine which parts of the repository are transferred to the bot
71when a Swarming task is triggered. The
72[Isolate tool](https://github.com/luci/luci-py/tree/master/appengine/isolate/doc)
73hashes each file and will upload any new/changed files. Bots maintain a cache so
74that they can efficiently download only the files they don't have.
75
76
77Assets
78------
79
80Artifacts used by the infrastructure are versioned here, along with scripts for
81recreating/uploading/downloading them. See the README in that directory for more
82information. Any time an asset used by the bots changes, you need to re-run
83gen_tasks.go.
