This repository contains various directories, each of which holds a seed.json file. Each seed.json file contains a variations seed. A variations seed is used to turn on/off field trials and features in Chromium projects, such as the Chromium browser.
Changes to this repository will not be accepted.
single_group_per_study_prefer_existing_behavior/*
For each study, this seed enables the largest field trial group. If there are multiple groups having the same largest size for a given study, prefer a group which enables existing behaviour.
single_group_per_study_prefer_new_behavior/*
For each study, this seed enables the largest field trial group. If there are multiple groups having the same largest size for a given study, prefer a group which enables new behaviour.
The seeds in this repo can be consumed by Chromium M115 and higher.
To launch Chromium using a given seed, include the following command-line parameters in the launch command.
--variations-test-seed-path=${PATH_TO_SEED_JSON_FILE}
This argument causes Chromium to load ${PATH_TO_SEED_JSON_FILE} and use it for field trial assignments.
--fake-variations-channel=${CHANNEL}
This argument forces Chrome to use the configuration for the given channel when applying the seed. The allowed ${CHANNEL} values are: stable, beta, dev and canary. Each seed contains group and feature assignments for all platforms and channels.
--accept-empty-variations-seed-signature
This argument permits to Chrome to accept a variations seed .json file where the seed signature is empty.
