README

package_index generates kzips for Kythe to use in generating cross-references in Code Search.

Googlers: For more information on package_index and its usage, refer to the documentation on the ChOps Eng portal.

Developing

To build and run package_index,

$ go build
$ ./package_index \
  --checkout_dir ~/chromium/src \
  --out_dir src/out/Debug \
  --path_to_compdb ~/chromium/src/out/Debug/compile_commands.json \
  --path_to_gn_targets ~/chromium/src/out/Debug/gn_targets.json \
  --keep_filepaths_files
  --corpus chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src \
  --build_config linux \
  --path_to_archive_output ~/test.kzip \

You can test package_index by running

$ go test -run TestPackageIndexUnix # or TestPackageIndexWindows

This script is invoked as part of the gen builder, right towards the end. It takes as input various artifacts produced during earlier parts of the build.

Let's walk through this line-by-line, to explain what each part is for, and what we must do for the necessary input to exist. Note that here we assume you have the build repo checked out under ~/infra/build.

  • --checkout_dir ~/chromium/src

This points to the root of your Chromium checkout. Again, we assume a particular location, modify as necessary. Any commands listed later on should be run from this directory, unless otherwise specified.

  • --out_dir src/out/Debug

We need to build chromium before running this script, as we package up generated files into our kzip. Any build config will work, but Debug is used for the production pipeline, so we use it here too.

If you're interested in Mojom, you need to add enable_kythe_annotations = true to your args.gn, and then run $ infra/build/scripts/slave/recipe_modules/codesearch/resources/add_kythe_metadata.py ~/chromium/src/out/Debug/gen for the relevant annotations to be present. If not, you can skip this step.

  • --path_to_compdb ~/chromium/src/out/Debug/compile_commands.json

We read the compilation database to determine which files are built and with what args. You can generate this file by running the following:

$ ninja -C out/Debug chromium -t compdb cc cxx objc objcxx > out/Debug/compile_commands.json

  • --path_to_gn_targets ~/chromium/src/out/Debug/gn_targets.json

We also read a dump of the gn targets to find all the Mojom targets, as their build rules aren't as straightforward. This can be generated by running the following:

$ gn desc out/Debug '*' --format=json > out/Debug/gn_targets.json

  • --keep_filepaths_files

We use "filepaths" files to find all the transitive includes for each file. By default they're deleted each time, and this parameter disables that, which is useful if you want to run the script multiple times without recreating these files each time. To generate these files, you first must download the translation_unit clang tool:

$ build/download_translation_unit_tool.py

Then you run this tool over all the files of interest via:

$ tools/clang/scripts/run_tool.py --tool translation_unit -p out/Debug

Note that this reads from the compilation database, so you must generate this as described above before running this tool.

  • --corpus chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src
  • --build_config linux

These are parameters written into fields of the kzip units. Their values are arbitrary strings, the values given here match the production configuration.

  • --path_to_archive-output ~/test.kzip

Finally, we specify where the output should be written.

Uploading to CIPD

The linux and windows binaries are located on to CIPD under infra/tools/package_index. To upload an updated version to CIPD, first navigate to infra/infra/build/packages.

If building for linux, run

GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64  vpython ../build.py --upload package_index.yaml

Or, if building for windows, run

GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64  vpython ../build.py --upload package_index.yaml

You may need to check CIPD to make sure the instances uploaded are set to the latest ref.
