A new command line script was introduced in this CL named autotest, which is intend to replace both build_autotest.sh and run_remote_tests.sh in the future.
This change list should be reviewed with
http://codereview.chromium.org/1513006http://codereview.chromium.org/1595001
all together.
autotest --board x86-generic --build=all will build all client tests.
autotest --board x86-generic --build=unioxbench,ltp will build enlisted client tests.
autotest --board x86-generic -c client/tests/sleeptest/control -m 12.34.56.78 ...
will invoke autoserv inside emerge-x86-generic cross-compiling env, and do a prebuild of the client test before it got pushed onto client host.
you could also:
1. bash complete the directory/file name from autotest directory after -c or -s args.
2. supply any autoserv commandline args transparently.
Note: replace build_autotest.sh/run_remotes_test.sh is only a future plan. When all the three CLs got pushed, no existing use cases should be broken.
I need to change:
1. build_packages script from third_party/chromiumos-overlay/chromeos/scripts/build_packages.
2. add "enable_server_precompile: False " to third_party/autotest/files/global_config.ini
to activate it.
