DISCLAIMER
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
This is not very well packaged code. It's not packaged at all. Don't
|
|
come here expecting something you plop in a directory, twiddle a few
|
|
things, and you're off and using it. Much work has to be done to get
|
|
there. We'd like to get there, but it wasn't clear when that would be,
|
|
and so we decided to let people see it first.
|
|
|
|
Don't believe for a minute that you can use this stuff without first
|
|
understanding most of the code.

To use tinderbox, you must first have bonsai up and running.
|
|
See <http://www.mozilla.org/bonsai.html>.
|
|
|
|
Be warned now that bonsai is not easily installed.

What's What in the Tinderbox sources:
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
This is a rough first pass at cataloging and documenting the Tinderbox
|
|
sources. Many hands have been in this code over the years, and it has
|
|
accreted wildly. There is probably quite a lot of dead code in here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PROGRAMS
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
handlemail.pl This is the mail deliverty agent (MDA) for tinderbox,
|
|
the local message transfer agent (MTA) calls this
|
|
program to deliver the tinderbox mail into the system.
|
|
It is a wrapper for processbuild.pl.
|
|
|
|
processbuild.pl Update the "$tbx{tree}/build.dat" database as new
|
|
mail comes in then run "./buildwho.pl $tree" and
|
|
"./showbuilds.cgi" (to build static versions of
|
|
tinderbox data.
|
|
|
|
buildwho.pl Update the who.dat file with the list of authors who
|
|
checked in in the last two days. This is run from
|
|
processbuild.pl, always, and from showbuild.cgi when
|
|
'rebuildguilty' is clicked
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conceptually, the three programs, handlemail.pl, processbuild.pl, and
|
|
buildwho.pl, make up the MDA for tinderbox.
|
|
|
|
|
|
showbuilds.cgi Create the Tinderbox web page.
|
|
|
|
showlog.cgi Show a build log (brief and full) update the brief_log if
|
|
necessary. Requires the ep_$form{errorparser}.pl error
|
|
parser.
|
|
|
|
ep_unix.pl Knows how to parse Unix build error logs. Used by
|
|
processbuild.pl There needs to be one ep_* file for
|
|
each distinct parsing algorithm used, typically this
|
|
is per platform. This file defines the regular
|
|
expressions which locate error lines: has_error()
|
|
has_warning() and the function has_errorline() which
|
|
parses the line into the global variables:
|
|
$error_file, $error_file_ref, $error_line, $error_guess,
|
|
|
|
admintree.cgi Displays the admin cgi which depends on:
|
|
$message_of_day, $ignore_builds
|
|
|
|
doadmin.cgi Actually do the work to admin a tinderbox tree
|
|
(change message of the day, turn off displays for a
|
|
channel)
|
|
|
|
clean.pl Run `find . -name \"*.gz\" -mtime +7 -print ` and
|
|
unlink those files. Does not appear to be run from
|
|
other tools. It is a good candidate for a cron job.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS to showbuilds.cgi
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Options to showbuilds are specified in the URL and are undocumented
|
|
elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
If called with no 'tree' option display the possible build trees to
|
|
pick from. The 'tree' picks the build to display. An additional tree
|
|
can be specified with 'tree2'.
|
|
|
|
Interesting visual params are:
|
|
|
|
current state monitoring mode:
|
|
express=1
|
|
or
|
|
panel=1
|
|
text mode state monitoring:
|
|
quickparse=1
|
|
|
|
These modes do not show on my browser:
|
|
flash=1
|
|
rdf=1
|
|
static=1
|
|
|
|
These are self explanatory:
|
|
legend=0;
|
|
norules=0;
|
|
hours=n;
|
|
|
|
|
|
EMAIL FORMAT
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Each tinderbox client mails status updates to the tinderbox server.
|
|
These mails contain special tinderbox data lines describing the
|
|
progress of the build it may also contain the log of the build process.
|
|
|
|
The email to the tinderbox server looks like:
|
|
|
|
tinderbox: tree: Mozilla
|
|
tinderbox: builddate: 900002087
|
|
tinderbox: status: building
|
|
tinderbox: build: IRIX 6.3 Depend
|
|
tinderbox: errorparser: unix
|
|
|
|
If binaryurl is set then a "D" link shows up in that builds status panel. This
|
|
link points to an ftp url where you can fetch the build from the ftp server
|
|
that was specified.
|
|
|
|
# NOT USED tinderbox: buildfamily: unix

|
DATA STRUCTURES IN showbuilds.cgi
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
load_buildlog() creates build_list a list of hash refernces of this
|
|
type
|
|
$buildrec = {
|
|
mailtime => $mailtime,
|
|
buildtime => $buildtime,
|
|
buildname => ($tree2 ne '' ? $t->{name} . ' ' : '' ) . $buildname,
|
|
errorparser => $errorparser,
|
|
buildstatus => $buildstatus,
|
|
logfile => $logfile,
|
|
binaryname => $binaryname,
|
|
td => $t
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
the $buildrec->{rowspan} variable holds the number of rows that the build
|
|
should occupy on the table and is not stored in the build.dat file.
|
|
|
|
These are other add ons to the data structure
|
|
$buildrec->{hasnote}=1;
|
|
$buildrec->{noteid} = (0+@note_array);
|
|
|
|
commonly buildrec's are accessed through:
|
|
$build_table->[$build_time][$build_name] = $buildrec;
|
|
|
|
The list of users who updated this build is stored as:
|
|
$who_list->[$checkin_time]->{$author} = 1;
|
|
|
|
There are numerous duplicate data structures which hold partial
|
|
information:
|
|
|
|
hashes which hold all indices:
|
|
$build_name_index->{$br->{buildname}} = 1;
|
|
$build_time_index->{$br->{buildtime}} = 1;
|
|
other access into $build_table:
|
|
$build_names->[$i] = $n;
|
|
$build_time_times->[$i] = $n;
|
|
|
|
|
|
loadquickparseinfo creates these references
|
|
$build->{$buildname} = $buildstatus;
|
|
$times->{$buildname} = $buildtime;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DATA FILES
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
These files are used to store data structures. They are a persistent
|
|
store of data between executions of the same program and they pass the
|
|
data between cooperating program. This data is often databases with
|
|
rows separated by "\n" and columns by '|'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
$tree/${logfile}
|
|
$tree/${logfile}.brief.html
|
|
$tree/ignorebuilds.pl
|
|
$tree/scrapebuilds.pl
|
|
$tree/rules.pl
|
|
$tree/status.pl
|
|
$tree/sheriff.pl
|
|
$tree/notes.txt
|
|
$tree/treedata.pl
|
|
$tree/who.dat
|
|
$treename/build.dat
|
|
|
|
The logfile that the tinderbox client sent stored in gziped format.
|
|
The filename is ${tree}/$builddate.$$.gz so its quite random and does
|
|
not depend on the clients$build string and multiple logs are kept for
|
|
each build, one for each mail message sent.
|
|
|
|
The brief.html file is a cache of the error log summary for this log
|
|
file and is recreated when the logfile gets updated.
|
|
|
|
ignorebuilds.pl is a file which specifies builds that should not be
|
|
performed. It is valid perl code which sets the hash reference
|
|
$ignore_builds, each key is a tree name.
|
|
|
|
scrapebuilds.pl: same as ignorebuilds.pl, but selects a build to be
|
|
"scraped" for data, with a token in the form TinderboxPrint:aaa,bbb,...
|
|
|
|
status.pl stores the tree-specific status. Its contents looks like:
|
|
$status_message = 'message';
|
|
1;
|
|
|
|
rules.pl stores the tree rules message. Its contents looks like:
|
|
$rules_message = 'message';
|
|
1;
|
|
|
|
sheriff.pl stores the current sheriff. Its contents looks like:
|
|
$current_sheriff = 'sheriff';
|
|
1;
|
|
|
|
notes.txt store the database of notes:
|
|
$buildtime|$buildname||$author|$time_now|$note
|
|
|
|
|
|
treedata.pl stores the cvs information pertaining to this tree and
|
|
looks like this:
|
|
$cvs_module='$modulename';
|
|
$cvs_branch='$branchname';
|
|
$cvs_root='$repository';
|
|
|
|
who.dat file has lines like:
|
|
$checkin_time|$author
|
|
This gets stored in the data structure, where checkin_time
|
|
gets fudged up so that is is a time already in the
|
|
build_table:
|
|
$who_list->[$checkin_time]->{$author} = 1;
|
|
|
|
build.dat stores the build results table. It is a flat file
|
|
representation of $build_table
|
|
|
|
build.dat is a database file each row is a build and has pipe
|
|
separated columns:
|
|
|
|
1) the time stamp of the tinderbox server
|
|
2) time stamp of the build machine
|
|
3) the official build name (should include build machine name)
|
|
( note: that 2 & 3 together uniquely identify the build
|
|
and all relevant build data)
|
|
4) the architecture dependent error parser to use on the log files
|
|
5) status of the build (success|busted|building|testfailed)
|
|
6) The log file for this build (if completed)
|
|
7) the name of the binary (if any) that came from the build
|
