Testing Cronet native API on desktop

Overview

The Cronet native API is cross-platform, usable on multiple desktop and mobile platforms.

TODO(caraitto): Add mobile test information for the native API in the Android and iOS pages as instructions for testing vary by platform.

Checkout and build

See instructions in the common checkout and build.

Running tests locally

To run Cronet native API unit and integration tests:

$ gn gen out/Default  # Generate Ninja build files.
$ ninja -C out/Default cronet_unittests cronet_tests  # Build both test suites.
$ ./out/Default/cronet_unittests  # Run unit tests.
$ ./out/Default/cronet_tests  # Run the integration tests.

Running tests remotely

To test against all tryjobs:

$ git cl upload  # Upload to Gerrit.
$ git cl try  # Run the tryjob, results posted in the Gerrit review.

This will test against several mobile and desktop platforms, along with special configurations like ASAN and TSAN.

You can use the -b flag to test against just one of those, like this:

$ git cl try -b linux-rel
