All gtest-based tests should now use add_gtest. Results from these tests
will be surfaced more prominently in GitHub Actions. Before this, it was
hard to find test failures in the log.
This adds Mongoose as a third-party library, and builds on top of that
an embedded HTTP server for our unit tests.
We are using a fork of Mongoose pending the merging of this PR:
https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/pull/2301
The embedded web server will make our HTTP-based tests independent of
httpbin.org, which will make them quick and reliable.
This removes all chromium dependencies from media/base/ and completes
the build system in CMake.
The ClosureThread class and its classes were removed, as they were
specific to chromium base. ClosureThread has been replaced by
std::thread.
The byte-swapping utilities in network_util.cc have been removed and
replaced with absl.
generate_unique_temp_path() was split out of file_unittest.cc into
file_test_util.cc, where other test suites could make use of it.
WARN_UNUSED_RESULT was replaced with the C++ standard attribute
[[nodiscard]].
The base::Clock interface was replaced with a typedef for a function
pointer that returns the current time.
This re-enables the tests in http_key_fetcher_unittest.cc by using
httpbin.org.
Issue #1047 (CMake porting)
Issue #346 (absl porting)
There are a lot of changes in this first phase, because there was a
lot of infrastructure required to get some meaningful amount of
porting done. Future PRs should be simpler.
<b>Summary of changes:</b><details>
- Remove old deps:
- boringssl (replaced with mbedtls, lighter, easier to build)
- gflags (replaced with absl::flags)
- Chromium build tools
- New deps to replace parts of Chromium base:
- abseil-cpp
- glog
- nlohmann::json (for tests only)
- Submodules, updates, and CMake build rules for third-party
libraries:
- curl
- gmock/gtest
- Ported internal libraries and their tests by removing Chromium deps
and adding CMake build rules:
- file (now using C++17 filesystem APIs)
- license_notice
- status
- version
- Test improvements
- Removed file tests that can never be re-enabled
- Re-enabled all other disabled file tests
- Debug JSON values when HTTP tests fail
- Fixed chunked-encoding issues in HTTP tests
- Updated and refactored Dockerfiles testing
- All docker files working, with OS versions updated to meet the
new tool requirements
- Local docker builds no longer write files to your working
directory as root
- Local docker builds can now be run in parallel without clobbering
each others' build outputs
- DEBUG=1 can drop you into an interactive shell when a docker
build fails
- Updated and heavily refactored workflows and Dockerfiles
- All docker files now tested in parallel on GitHub, speeding up CI
- All common workflow components broken out and using workflow_call
instead of custom actions
- Self-hosted runners now optional, to make testing easier on forks
- CMake porting works-in-process can now be fully tested on GitHub
- Building ported libraries and passing ported tests on all three
platforms!
- CI hacks for macOS removed, now testing on macos-latest!
- Python2 no longer required! (Only Python3)
- Using strict build flags, treating all warnings as errors.
</details>

gflags)
