[Evolution-hackers] ebook performance patches
We (Openismus) have a couple of patches for master that solve some performance problems, via small API additions. The gnome-2-32 equivalents are already in use by MeeGo.

OK, this one starts and stops e-addressbook-factory for each test. How do you like it? Note that bash scripting is really not my thing. I guess this will need some cleverness to make it work with srcdir! =builddir, and we might want to adapt this to start other services when eventually used for testing other parts of EDS. One test still fails, near the end, when calling e_book_remove(), apparently because EBookBackendFile::priv::filename is NULL at that point, though I can't see an obvious reason for that. http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data-server/tree/addressbook/tests/ebook/test-ebook-stress-factory--single-book.c?h=gnome-2-32#n30 ** (process:20697): WARNING **: failed to remove book; Cannot remove book: Failed to remove file '(null)': Bad address FAIL: test-ebook-stress-factory--single-book == 1 of 15 tests failed Please report to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Evolution-Data-Server == -- murr...@murrayc.com www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com >From 8127525268c617367b8a443c203f468280399cd2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Murray Cumming Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2011 13:15:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] addressbook tests: Run with private D-Bus session and environment. * addressbook/tests/: Add a tools/ directory with .sh files from libfolks/tests/tools/, to let us start and stop a private D-Bus session, and set XDG_* environment variables for local use of EDS, when running tests. * addressbook/tests/ebook/Makefile.am: Set TESTS_ENVIRONMENT to run the tests with the private D-Bus session. --- addressbook/tests/Makefile.am |2 +- addressbook/tests/ebook/Makefile.am |7 ++ addressbook/tests/tools/Makefile.am |5 + addressbook/tests/tools/dbus-session.sh | 114 +++ addressbook/tests/tools/eds.sh | 36 +++ addressbook/tests/tools/with-session-bus-eds.sh | 45 + configure.ac|1 + 7 files changed, 209 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) create mode 100644 addressbook/tests/tools/Makefile.am create mode 100644 addressbook/tests/tools/dbus-session.sh create mode 100644 addressbook/tests/tools/eds.sh create mode 100755 addressbook/tests/tools/with-session-bus-eds.sh diff --git a/addressbook/tests/Makefile.am b/addressbook/tests/Makefile.am index 591bdff..36ae876 100644 --- a/addressbook/tests/Makefile.am +++ b/addressbook/tests/Makefile.am @@ -1,3 +1,3 @@ -SUBDIRS = vcard ebook +SUBDIRS = tools vcard ebook -include $(top_srcdir)/git.mk diff --git a/addressbook/tests/ebook/Makefile.am b/addressbook/tests/ebook/Makefile.am index 32c8e40..3671344 100644 --- a/addressbook/tests/ebook/Makefile.am +++ b/addressbook/tests/ebook/Makefile.am @@ -22,6 +22,13 @@ TEST_LIBS = \ libebook-test-utils.la \ $(NULL) +RUN_WITH_PRIVATE_BUS = $(top_srcdir)/addressbook/tests/tools/with-session-bus-eds.sh + +TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = \ + $(RUN_WITH_PRIVATE_BUS) \ + --session \ + -- + # Should be kept ordered approximately from least to most difficult/complex TESTS = \ test-ebook-remove \ diff --git a/addressbook/tests/tools/Makefile.am b/addressbook/tests/tools/Makefile.am new file mode 100644 index 000..6abf3bc --- /dev/null +++ b/addressbook/tests/tools/Makefile.am @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +EXTRA_DIST = \ + with-session-bus.sh \ + dbus-session.sh + +-include $(top_srcdir)/git.mk diff --git a/addressbook/tests/tools/dbus-session.sh b/addressbook/tests/tools/dbus-session.sh new file mode 100644 index 000..1f805bf --- /dev/null +++ b/addressbook/tests/tools/dbus-session.sh @@ -0,0 +1,114 @@ +# +# Helper functions to start your own D-Bus session. +# +# Refactored from with-session-bush.sh

I've taken the relevant bits for e-d-s - see the attached patch against the gnome-2-32 branch. If this is OK, I can try to do this for the master branch. It seems to work, though make doesn't tell me more about what's happening with each test than "PASSED" so I am not really sure that anything much is happening. This sets the XDG_* variables, but doesn't seem to start the address book service, right? Or maybe that happens automatically via activation, though I worry that that would require "make install" before "make check". One test still fails for me, either with this: ** (process:5762): WARNING **: failed to remove book; Cannot remove book: Failed to remove file '(null)': Bad address FAIL: test-ebook-stress-factory--single-book or this: (process:6466): libebook-WARNING **: e-book.c:3095: cannot get book from factory: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) ** ERROR **: failed to create addressbook: `local:/tmp/ebook-test-LBFVWV/': GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) Trace/breakpoint trap FAIL: test-ebook-stress-factory--single-book -- murr...@murrayc.com www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com >From 3fb4984fa7f353ac7fe2726b557dd3536419026a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Murray Cumming Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2011 13:15:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] * addressbook/tests/: Add a tools/ directory with .sh files from libfolks/tests/tools/, to let us start and stop a private D-Bus session, and set XDG_* environment variables for local use of EDS, when running tests. * addressbook/tests/ebook/Makefile.am: Set TESTS_ENVIRONMENT to run the tests with the private D-Bus session. --- addressbook/tests/Makefile.am |2 +- addressbook/tests/ebook/Makefile.am |7 ++ addressbook/tests/tools/Makefile.am |5 + addressbook/tests/tools/dbus-session.sh | 114 +++ addressbook/tests/tools/eds.sh | 25 + addressbook/tests/tools/with-session-bus-eds.sh | 44 + configure.ac|1 + 7 files changed, 197 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) create mode 100644 addressbook/tests/tools/Makefile.am create mode 100644 addressbook/tests/tools/dbus-session.sh create mode 100644 addressbook/tests/tools/eds.sh create mode 100755 addressbook/tests/tools/with-session-bus-eds.sh diff --git a/addressbook/tests/Makefile.am b/addressbook/tests/Makefile.am index 591bdff..36ae876 100644 --- a/addressbook/tests/Makefile.am +++ b/addressbook/tests/Makefile.am @@ -1,3 +1,3 @@ -SUBDIRS = vcard ebook +SUBDIRS = tools vcard ebook -include $(top_srcdir)/git.mk diff --git a/addressbook/tests/ebook/Makefile.am b/addressbook/tests/ebook/Makefile.am index 32c8e40..3671344 100644 --- a/addressbook/tests/ebook/Makefile.am +++ b/addressbook/tests/ebook/Makefile.am @@ -22,6 +22,13 @@ TEST_LIBS = \ libebook-test-utils.la \ $(NULL) +RUN_WITH_PRIVATE_BUS = $(top_srcdir)/addressbook/tests/tools/with-session-bus-eds.sh + +TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = \ + $(RUN_WITH_PRIVATE_BUS) \ + --session \ + -- + # Should be kept ordered approximately from least to most difficult/complex TESTS = \ test-ebook-remove \ diff --git a/addressbook/tests/tools/Makefile.am b/addressbook/tests/tools/Makefile.am new file mode 100644

Thanks.
An environment variable can be set easily, for all tests, and maybe for
individual tests, like so in addressbook/tests/ebook/Makefile.am:
+test_dir_base = "/tmp/ebook-test-yadda/"
+TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = \
+ XDG_DATA_HOME=${test_dir_base}
However, the necessary value for XX can only be known after the test
has started, right?

[Evolution-hackers] "make check" failing in the e-d-s gnome-2-32 branch
In the gnome-2-32 branch, several "make check" tests fail intermittently for me, as seen below. I'm running them in jhbuild. This seems to be fixed in the gnome-3-0 branch and in the master branch.

As it is, it doesn't seem worth mentioning in the release notes, because it's not very usable if I have to specify an image file for each email that I send.

Re: [Evolution-hackers] Call for Release Notes
Dear Evolution developers, as usual, you've done a huge amount of work on Evolution during GNOME 2.19. But, as usual, we don't know what the new features, UI changes, or major bug-fixes are. Please do add something to http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointNineteen/ReleaseNotes so that we can tell the world. http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/evolution/trunk/NEWS?view=markup is pretty good, but we still think that you are the best people to decide what's really significant.

I'd be interested in seeing the correct way to do it in C. -- Murray Cumming [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
