Jens Johansen cdad90dfb8 [frontend_server] frontend_server_flutter_suite
Generally the test loads a big dill thats 90+% the same content as the
previous load, then verifies it.
This CL loads smarter and verifies less.

Before this CL, locally, running
pkg/frontend_server/test/frontend_server_flutter.dart took
real    24m56.080s
user    48m42.422s
sys     1m2.360s

and the suite edition (using 4 shards in isolates) took
real    15m9.196s
user    53m41.118s
sys     1m30.045s

With this CL, locally running
pkg/frontend_server/test/frontend_server_flutter.dart takes
real    5m0.206s
user    9m23.933s
sys     0m20.984s

and the suite edition takes
real    3m24.243s
user    12m0.069s
sys     0m28.131s

On the try-bot the runtime seems to have gone from ~40 minutes
to ~20 minutes, the "compile flutter tests" step from ~30 minutes to
~10 minutes and the portion of time actually running the
dart-code that compiles, loads and verifies, from ~26 minutes
to ~7 minutes.

Package validation

The packages in pkg/ are automatically validated on the LUCI CI bots. The validation is largely done by the tools/package_deps package; it can be tested locally via:

dart tools/package_deps/bin/package_deps.dart

Packages which are published

There are several packages developed in pkg/ which are published to pub. Validation of these packages is particularly important because the pub tools are not used for these packages during development; we get our dependency versions from the DEPS file. Its very easy for the dependencies specified in a package's pubspec file to get out of date wrt the packages and versions actually used.

In order to better ensure we're publishing correct packages, we validate some properties of the pubspec files on our CI system. These validations include:

  • that the dependencies listed in the pubspec are used in the package
  • that all the packages used by the source are listed in the pubspec
  • that we don't use relative path deps to pkg/ or third_party/ packages

Packages which are not published

For packages in pkg/ which we do not intend to be published, we put the following comment in the pubspec.yaml file:

# This package is not intended for consumption on pub.dev. DO NOT publish.
publish_to: none

These pubspecs are still validated by the package validation tool. The contents are more informational as the pubspecs for these packages are not consumed by the pub tool or ecosystem.

We validate:

  • that the dependencies listed in the pubspec are used in the package
  • that all the packages used by the source are listed in the pubspec
  • that a reference to a pkg/ package is done via a relative path dependency
