| Subject: Retrieving and parsing broken page cycler results |
| |
| Summary: |
| |
| The 20110103-fix directory contains script and archived files to recapture |
| page cycler timing data for builds between r69491 and r70279. |
| |
| Background: |
| |
| On Fri Dec 17 2010, I committed r69491, a contributor patch to the page |
| cycler. The intent of this patch was to store and retrieve PLT ("page |
| load time") data using HTML5 sessionStorage API. I failed to catch the |
| fact that the new output's timing values were no longer being parsed by |
| the Buildbot log parser. On Wed Dec 29 2010, Brett noticed this and, |
| after letting me know, I committed r70279 to fix the issue from then on. |
| |
| All output that was generated by builds between r69491 and r70279 was not |
| parsed by the Buildbot log parser. In Jan 2011, I undertook an effort to |
| capture and parse that stdio. |
| |
| This README and the download_output.py script are kept for reference. The |
| data files have been removed from the latest checkout to free up space. |
