mixxx-bisect 0.1.0

Finds Mixxx regressions by binary searching over prebuilt snapshots

Mixxx Bisect

A small tool for finding regressions in Mixxx, inspired by mozregression. The tool binary searches over a commit range and lets the user tag automatically downloaded Mixxx snapshots with good/bad to identify the commit introducing the regression.

Note: This tool currently only supports macOS and Windows, since the Mixxx downloads server does not seem to host binary distributions for Linux. The script should be easy to adapt for new OSes though.

Usage

Run the following command from the repository directory:

bin/mixxx-bisect -g [good commit] -b [bad commit]

To search the entire range of available snapshots, you can also run bin/mixxx-bisect without arguments.

Note: On Windows you have to preprend python3 before the command.
