Regression range finder for Mozilla nightly builds

mozregression

mozregression is an interactive regression rangefinder for quickly tracking down the source of bugs in Mozilla nightly and integration builds.

You can start using mozregression today:

• start with our installation guide, then
• take a look at our Quick Start document.

Building And Developing mozregression

Want to hack on mozregression ? Cool!

Installing dependencies

To make setup more deterministic, we have provided requirements files to use a known-working set of python dependencies. From your mozregression checkout, you can install these inside a virtual development environment.

After checking out the mozregression repository from GitHub, this is a two step process:

1. Be sure you are using Python 3.8 or above: earlier versions are not supported (if you are not sure, run python --version or python3 --version on the command line).

2. From inside your mozregression checkout, create a virtual environment, activate it, and install the dependencies. The instructions are slightly different depending on whether you are using Windows or Linux/MacOS.

On Windows:

python3 -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements\requirements-3.9-Windows.txt
pip install -e .

On Linux:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements/requirements-3.9-Linux.txt
pip install -e .

On macOS:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements/requirements-3.9-macOS.txt
pip install -e .

NOTE: You should replace the Python version with the one that matches with the virtual environment.

Hacking on mozregression

After running the above commands, you should be able to run the command-line version of mozregression as normal (e.g. mozregression --help) inside the virtual environment. If you wish to try running the GUI, use the provided helper script:

python gui/build.py run

To run the unit tests for the console version:

pytest tests

For the GUI version:

python gui/build.py test

Before submitting a pull request, please lint your code for errors and formatting (we use black, flake8 and isort)

./bin/lint-check.sh

If it turns up errors, try using the lint-fix.sh script to fix any errors which can be addressed automatically:

./bin/lint-fix.sh

Making a release

Create a new GitHub release and give it a tag name identical to the version number you want (e.g. 4.0.20). CI should automatically upload new versions of the GUI applications to the release and to TestPyPI and PyPI.

Follow the following conventions for pre-releases:

• For development releases, tags should be appended with .devN, starting with N=0. For example, 6.2.1.dev0.
• For alpha, beta, or release candidates, tags should be appended with aN, bN, or rcN, starting with N=0. For example, 6.2.1a0.dev4, 6.2.1rc2, etc...

For more info, see PEP 440.

Signing and notarizing macOS releases

Uploading the signed artifacts is a manual process at this time. To sign and notarize a macOS release, follow these steps:

• Copy the signing manifest output from the build job.
• Create a pull request to update signing-manifests/mozregression-macOS.yml in the adhoc-signing repo with those changes.
• Wait for pull request to be merged, and the signing task to finish.
• After the signing task is finished, download mozregression-gui-app-bundle.tar.gz and extract it in gui/dist.
• Run ./bin/dmgbuild.
• Upload new dmg artifact (gui/dist/mozregression-gui.dmg) to the corresponding release.
