Hi Arun, Ryosuke's suggestion is a good one; in addition, I believe there is a group at Sony (?) that has done something similar, but their patches haven't been upstreamed yet.

If you're developing interactively, you just compile as normal, and then run new-run-webkit-tests, which will either expect the binaries to have been downloaded to the device, or download them itself. The script contains all the hooks you need to implement whatever process you want (it can even do a build to ensure things are up to date). The major wrinkle you need to implement is to figure out some way for the binary on the embedded driver to be able to access the test files that live on the host. Usually either you can cross-mount a filesystem or wrap file:// access urls in something like an http server that can retrieve things. In an automated system (like buildbot), the bot scripts run on the host and just launch new-run-webkit-tests when appropriate. -- Dirk > On 8 November 2012 16:14, Ryosuke Niwa <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> You might be interested in looking into how Chromium Android port solve >> this problem.
