A dumping ground for cross-platform browser memory testing

atsy

A dumping ground for cross-platform browser memory testing.

Example Usage

An example script can be found under example/comp_analysis.py. It uses the TP5 pageset, but the example can be modified to use any set of URLs.

Prereqs

• nginx (or some other webserver)
• The latest chromedriver
• Install atsy: python setup.py install should do the trick.
• Install/update the browsers you want to test. Note installation locations.
  • Chrome - devchannel
  • Firefox - Nightly
• Update the setup portion of the example to specify your binary locations and update the path filters if necessary.

On Ubuntu the following would probably do the job:

# Install a local webserver
sudo apt-get install nginx

mkdir atsy-test
cd atsy-test

# Setup a virtualenv to work in
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate

# Setup atsy
git clone https://github.com/EricRahm/atsy.git
cd atsy
python setup.py install
cd ..

# Get the latest chromedriver
wget http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.21/chromedriver_linux64.zip
unzip chromedriver_linux64.zip
rm chromedriver_linux64.zip

# Download the tp5 pageset and setup a webroot
mkdir nginx_root
cd nginx_root

wget http://people.mozilla.org/~jmaher/taloszips/zips/tp5n.zip
unzip tp5n.zip
mkdir html/
mv tp5n html/tp5
rm tp5n.zip

mkdir logs

mkdir conf
cp ../atsy/example/comp_analysis_nginx.conf conf/nginx.conf
cd ..

Running

1. Launch nginx, I use the config from awsy, so something like:

nginx -p nginx_root/ -c conf/nginx.conf

2. Launch the example, this assumes chromedriver is in the cwd:

PATH=$PATH:. python atsy/example/comp_analysis.py

Note: On OSX 10.10.5 you'll need to run the example under sudo. On OSX 10.10.11 and later you're going to also need to disable SIP. Apple's instructions on how to do that are here.

OSX may also get mad because chromedriver isn't signed. You can go to System Preferences, then Security & Privacy, then the General tab and you'll see chromedriver and you can allow it.

You will also need to edit atsy/example/comp_analysis_conf_simple.py to point to the right binaries.
