Application Services Builder

A docker image for building application-services and related components.

This repository builds a docker image that can build application-services, android-components, and fenix. We use it to make "nightly" builds that that contain in-progress work with changes to multiple repos. For example:

• We have non-breaking changes in application-services:main and we want to test building that against android-components:main and fenix:main
• We have breaking changes in application-services:main and we want to test building that against branches in android-components and/or fenix
• We have changes in an application-services branch and want to test building that against the corresponding branches in android-components and/or fenix

This repository currently only supports android-components and fenix, but maybe it could support firefox-ios someday.

Building/pushing the image

docker build -t bendk/application-services-builder .
docker login
docker push bendk/application-services-builder

Using the image

• This image is meant to be used as part of a CI process, with each step running the image with different arguments:
  • checkout [application-services-repo-url] [branch]
  • checkout [android-components-repo-url] [branch]
  • checkout [fenix-repo-url] [branch]
  • build-application-services
  • test-android-components
  • build-android-components
  • test-fenix
  • build-fenix
• The /build directory contains data meant to be shared between the various steps and should be linked to a shared volume.
• This container can exceed the default number of open files. Use the option --ulimit nofile=5000:5000 to avoid this

If you were running locally, you would run something like this:

docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/build:/build:z  --ulimit nofile=5000:5000 -- bendk/application-services-builder checkout [application-services-repo-url] [branch]
docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/build:/build:z  --ulimit nofile=5000:5000 -- bendk/application-services-builder checkout [android-components-repo-url] [branch]
docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/build:/build:z  --ulimit nofile=5000:5000 -- bendk/application-services-builder checkout [fenix-repo-url] [branch]
docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/build:/build:z  --ulimit nofile=5000:5000 -- bendk/application-services-builder build-application-services
docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/build:/build:z  --ulimit nofile=5000:5000 -- bendk/application-services-builder test-android-components
docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/build:/build:z  --ulimit nofile=5000:5000 -- bendk/application-services-builder build-android-components
docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/build:/build:z  --ulimit nofile=5000:5000 -- bendk/application-services-builder test-fenix
docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/build:/build:z  --ulimit nofile=5000:5000 -- bendk/application-services-builder build-fenix

This would result in the Fenix APKs in build/fenix/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/.
