This question comes up every so often on webkit-dev. :) The response there has been "why does one ever want a webkit source checkout w/o layout tests?"
- If you're doing development, you need the layout tests. - If you're just want to run tip-of-tree, nightly builds are a better way of doing that. - If you're building nightly builds for some platform, the incremental daily cost of layout test updates is negligible. The end result (at least for WebKit) is that we've not spent any effort trying to make it possible to check out the source w/o LayoutTests. Not sure if the same applies to chromium. -eric On Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 2:18 PM, Eric Roman<[email protected]> wrote: > > Unfortunately there isn't a good solution to not checking out the > layout test data :( > > The LayoutTests:None line in .gclient is a good start, but it doesn't > prevent the pollution from webkit/data/layout_tests/platform. > > There is already a discussion of this at: > <http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev/browse_thread/thread/1fa32f170aa749af/197128a68eb8c081> > > A recommendation mentioned there is to mark layout_tests with "svn-ignore". > > On Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 1:10 AM, nakro<[email protected]> wrote: >> >> i am not 100% sure i know the reason, but i have a good feeling i do >> >> i think that when i do 'gclient sync --force' i am getting all the >> layout tests even though >> i specifically excluded them using your published method, and it seems >> to work when i don't have the --force flag >> >> however, --force is a must on my machine (i can explain why, but this >> is not important for this) >> >> is there any way i can make also --force ignore these folders ? >> >> here is my .gclient file just in case i did something really stupid >> solutions = [ >> { "name" : "src", >> "url" : "http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src";, >> "custom_deps" : { >> "src/webkit/data/layout_tests/LayoutTests": None, >> }, >> "safesync_url": "http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/continuous/ >> LATEST/REVISION" >> } >> ] >> >> > >> > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
