Soletta Builders

THIS CODE IS STILL IN EXPERIMENTAL STAGE AND SHOULDN'T BE USED IN PRODUCTION.

This project is composed by

• The sol tool which is a client/server software to aid building things remotely. For convenience the client and server code is in the same program, but this is not necessary. The client talks via HTTP to either request a list of builders or to post a new build. When posting a build it sends all the files that match

• The matching includes directories with plat- prefix that the name match the platform and directories with tag- prefix that the name match the tags passed on the command line.

• A set of directories in platform-* to prepare build environments for different platforms. Each directory contains a prepare script that does all the necessary setup and produces in out/platform-* a complete build environment with a compile script.

  Common functionality for the different platforms are in common/.

• A set of test programs in tests that are valid Soletta programs that build environments prepared with the tools above. They are expected to be compiled using sol. It's encouraged to create new tests instead of growing one of the tests to the limit, that way its easier to check when a builder is not work what might be the issue.

To get things running

• Compile sol tool by calling go build inside the sol directory.

• Call platform-*/prepare for one or more platforms. This will generate an out/ directory with a subdirectory for each platform.

• Enter the out/ directory and run sol -run-as-server. This will run the server process, a lot of debug output will appear here.

• Go to any of the tests subdirectory and call sol to list the available platforms, and sol PLATFORM-NAME to call it. This will generate a zip file in the out directory inside the test, containing the result image and necessary tools. If the server is in a different machine, use -addr address:port option.
