9How to land Skia changes that change Blink layout test results.
10
11Changes that affect a small number of layout test results
12---------------------------------------------------------
13Changes affecting fewer than ~20 layout tests can be rebaselined without
14special coordination with the Blink gardener using these steps:
15
161. Prepare your Skia change, taking note of which layout tests will turn red
17   \(see http://www.chromium.org/developers/testing/webkit-layout-tests for more
18   detail on running the Blink layout tests\).
192. Check in your code to the Skia repo.
203. Ahead of the Skia auto roll including your change, manually push a change to the
21   Blink LayoutTests/TestExpectations [file](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/third_party/blink/web_tests/TestExpectations), flagging tests expected to fail as a result of your change as follows:
22   foo/bar/test-name.html [ Failure Pass ]  # Needs rebaseline
23
244. Wait for the Skia roll to land successfully.
255. Check in another change to the Blink TestExpectations file removing all the
26  skipped test expectations you add earlier, an run `git cl rebaseline` which will prompt the automatic rebaseline.

30Changes that affect a large number of test results
31--------------------------------------------------
32Where a 'large number' or 'many' means more than about 20.
33Follow the instructions below:
34
35In the following the term 'code suppression' means a build flag \(a\.k\.a\. define\).
36Such code suppressions should be given a name with the form SK\_IGNORE\_xxx\_FIX.
37
38Updating the version of Skia in Chromium is called a 'roll'.
39The Auto Roll Bot performs this roll multiple times per day, and can also be done manually.
40See https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+log/main/DEPS and search for skia\-deps\-roller.
41
42### Setup
43#### Code suppression does not yet exist \- Direct method
441. Make a change in Skia which will change many Blink layout tests.
452. Put the change behind a code suppression.
463. Check in the change to the Skia repository.
474. Manually roll Skia or append the autoroll with the code suppression to
48   Chromium's 'skia/chromium\_skia\_defines\.gypi'
49
50#### Code suppression does not yet exist \- Alternate method
511. Add code suppression to Chromium's 'skia/chromium\_skia\_defines\.gypi' before making code
52   changes in Skia.
532. Make a change in Skia which will change many Blink layout tests.
543. Put the change behind a code suppression.
554. Check in the change to the Skia repository.
565. Wait for Skia roll into Chromium.
57
58#### Code suppression exists in header
591. Remove code suppression from header file in Chromium and add code suppression to
60   Chromium's 'skia/chromium\_skia\_defines\.gypi'.
61   The code suppression cannot be in a header file and a defined in a gyp file at the
62   same time or a multiple definition warning will be treated as an error and break
63   the Chromium build.
64
65### Rebaseline
661. Choose a time when the Blink tree is likely to be quiet. Avoid PST afternoons in
67   particular. The bigger the change, the more important this is. Regardless,
68   determine who the Blink gardener is and notify them. You will be making the
69   Chromium\.WebKit tree very red for an extended period, and the gardener needs to
70   know that they are not expected to fix it.
712. Create a CL removing the code suppression from Chromium's
72   skia/chromium\_skia\_defines\.gypi while simultaneously adding [ NeedsRebaseline ]
73   lines to Blink's LayoutTests/TestExpectations [file](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/third_party/blink/web_tests/TestExpectations).
74   Then the auto rebaseline bot will take care of the work of actually checking in the
75   new images. This is generally acceptable for up to 600 or so rebaselined images.
76   Above that you might still use [ NeedsRebaseline ], but it's best to coordinate with
77   the gardener. This should go through the CQ cleanly.
783. Be careful with tests that are already failing or flakey. These may or may not need
79   to be rebaselined and flakey tests should not be removed from TestExpectations
80   regardless. In such cases revert the TestExpectations changes before committing.
814. If you are not the one handling the cleanup step, please open a Skia Issue of the
82   form
83   Title: "Remove code suppression SK\_IGNORE\_xxx\_FIX\."
84   Comment: "Code suppression SK\_IGNORE\_xxx\_FIX rebaselined with Blink revision
85   123456\." and assign it to the individual responsible for the cleanup step.
86
87### Cleanup
881. Remove the now unused old code from Skia and any defines which were introduced
89   to suppress the new code.
902. Check in the cleanup change to the Skia repository.
913. Wait for Skia roll into Chromium.
