Description:
There are a handful of things I'd like to improve in the current python
build/bundle scripts. Specifically:
- Allow make_apk.py to be runnable from any directory, not just
from the crosswalk directory
- Improve the language and printed output from the scripts
- Create the temporary directories in the system "temp"
location so if the script is interrupted they don't clutter the crosswalk
source directory
Affected component:
- source changes: Python scripts in src/xwalk/app/
- area of project affected: Crosswalk command-line builds
Related features/bugs: XWALK-2391 -
2395<https://crosswalk-project.org/jira/browse/XWALK-2395?jql=id%20in%20%28XWALK-2391%2C%20XWALK-2392%2C%20XWALK-2393%2C%20XWALK-2394%2C%20XWALK-2395%29>
Implementation details:
To allow make_apk.py to be runnable from any directory, identify all the places
where scripts are imported or files/directories are read/written and pre-pend
the xwalk directory. The main changes are in make_apk.py and customize.py with
a couple one-line changes in the few other scripts. (I think!)
For example:
(at head of script)
# get xwalk absolute path so we can run this script from any location
xwalk_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
(then to load additional .py)
sys.path.append(xwalk_dir)
(or to access files/directories)
target_library_path = os.path.join(xwalk_dir, name, 'xwalk_core_library')
