Jens Johansen 77d21b8339 [frontend-server] flutter frontend try bot don't save to actual file
The test compiles a file, serializes it to disk, loads it from disk and
verifies it. There's more than 1500 compiles and they (at least some)
are up to something like 40 MB each meaning why might write something
like 60 GB (!) running this test.
As the data is only used in-process we can use `IOOverrides` to bybass
it actually saving to a file.

The frontend_server package is used by both the flutter command line tool and the frontend_server_client package (used by webdev and package:test).

API Stability

Changes to the command line API or behavior should be tested against the following test suites (in addition to normal HHH testing):

Otherwise these changes will need to be carefully coordinated with the flutter tooling and frontend_server_client teams.

This API stability does not cover any of the source code APIs.

Stable subset

  • The frontend_server kernel compilation and expression evaluation for kernel should be considered "stable".
  • The frontend_server JavaScript compilation is semi-stable, but clients should anticipate coordinated breaking changes in the future.
  • The frontend_server JavaScript expression evaluation is experimental and is expected to change significantly from Dec 2020 through the end of 2021.
  • Specific flags like the --flutter-widget-cache may be added for experimentation and should not be considered stable.
