The Encrypted Reporting Pipeline (ERP) provides a universal method for upload of data for enterprise customers.

The code structure looks like this:

Chrome:

• //components/reporting
  Code shared between Chrome and ChromeOS.
• //chrome/browser/policy/messaging_layer
  Code that lives only in the browser, primary interfaces for reporting data such as ReportQueueImpl and ReportQueueConfiguration.

ChromeOS:

• //platform2/missived
  Daemon for encryption and storage of reports.

If you'd like to begin using ERP within Chrome please check the comment in //components/reporting/client/report_queue_provider.h.

Run Unit Tests

To run the unit tests for this directory, after having configured Chromium's build environment:

1. Run autoninja -C out/Default components_unittests to build the components unit test executable.

2. Then, run out/Default/components_unittests --gtest_filter='<target tests>' to run relevant tests. Here, <target tests> is a wildcard pattern (refer to the document of gtest for more details). For example, to run all tests for StorageQueue, run

   $ out/Default/components_unittests --gtest_filter='*/StorageQueueTest.*'
   

   For another example, to run all tests in this directory, run

   $ tools/autotest.py -C out/Default --run_all components/reporting
   

   You can also append a filter such as --gtest_filter='*/StorageQueueTest.*' to the line above.

   Another useful flag for dealing with flaky tests is --gtest_repeat=, which repeats tests for multiple times.
