cd juggler
- Checkout pinned Firefox revision from mozilla github mirror into
//firefox
folder.
SOURCE=$PWD bash scripts/fetch_firefox.sh
- Apply juggler patches to Firefox source code
cd firefox
git am ../patches/*
ln -s $PWD/../src $PWD/testing/juggler
- Bootstrap host environment for Firefox build and compile firefox locally
# OPTIONAL - bootstrap host environment.
./mach bootstrap --application-choice=browser --no-interactive
# Compile browser
./mach build
Troubleshooting when building FF on Mac
Black screen after FF Build
As of Jan. 2019 there is a known bug that will cause an entirely black screen when running the nightly build of firefox built with the MacOSX SDK version 10.14.
The easiest fix right now is downgrading your MacOSX SDK.
To do so:
-
Go to this repo and install any SDK version < 10.14 (e.g. 10.13 works fine)
-
In the
juggler/firefox
folder:
echo "ac_add_options --with-macos-sdk=path/to/sdk" >> .mozconfig
# your SDK might be located at
# /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/
- run
./mach build
again
Missing headers in /usr/include
On MacOS 10.14 (Mojave) you might run into issues when building FF.
The error is related to a change in the xcode-select installation
To workaround this issue you can simply run:
# Write missing headers to /usr/include
sudo installer -pkg /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg -target /
Running Firefox with Juggler
Juggle adds a -juggler
CLI flag that accepts a port to expose a remote protocol on.
Pass 0
to pick a random port - Juggler will print its port to STDOUT.
./mach run -- -juggler 0
Uploading builds to Google Storage
Firefox builds with Juggler support are uploaded to gs://juggler-builds/ bucket.
Project maintainers can upload builds. To upload a build, do the following:
- Install gcloud if you haven't yet.
- Authenticate in the cloud and select project
gcloud auth login
gcloud config set project juggler-builds
- Make sure firefox is compiled; after that, package a build for a redistribution:
cd firefox
./mach package
- Archive build and copy to the gbucket
We want to ship *.zip
archives so that it's easy to decompress them on the node-side.
- Linux:
./scripts/upload_linux.sh
- Mac:
./scripts/upload_mac.sh
