Bug ID: 48671
Summary: Some patches may require forcing a wineprefix update
Product: Wine-Testbot
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: unknown
Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
Reporter: fgouget at codeweavers.com
Distribution: ---
The TestBot updates the wineprefixes when it updates its base Wine source from
the daily Wine commits. The rest of the time it lets Wine deal with updating
the wineprefix is necessary. Furthermore Wine only updates the wineprefix when
wine.inf changes, which is the case for every Wine release.
The problem is that the wineprefix should also be updated when a patchset adds
a WINE_REGISTRY resource to an existing dll. Failing to do so may cause the
patchset tests to fail because the wineprefix is out of date.
See:
https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2019-December/156914.html
WinePrefix updates are relatively slow compared to the execution time of most
tests (about 30s vs. < 1s) so it would be good not to have to do that for every
task. An alternative would be to force a wineprefix update when a task has
failures and gets rerun as a result (pass an option to the relevant VM-side
scripts).
Note: Shared Gecko and Mono install issues should be discussed on bug 48354.
