build_bucket_golden_scraper

Given logging on Flutter's CI, scrapes the log for golden file changes.

$ dart bin/main.dart <path to log file, which can be http or a file>

Wrote 3 golden file changes:
  testing/resources/performance_overlay_gold_60fps.png
  testing/resources/performance_overlay_gold_90fps.png
  testing/resources/performance_overlay_gold_120fps.png

It can also be run with --dry-run to just print what it would do:

$ dart bin/main.dart --dry-run <path to log file, which can be http or a file>

Found 3 golden file changes:
  testing/resources/performance_overlay_gold_60fps.png
  testing/resources/performance_overlay_gold_90fps.png
  testing/resources/performance_overlay_gold_120fps.png

Run again without --dry-run to apply these changes.

You're recommended to still use git diff to verify the changes look good.

Upgrading git diff

By default, git diff is not very helpful for binary files. You can install imagemagick and configure your local git client to make git diff show a PNG diff:

# On MacOS.
$ brew install imagemagick

# Create a comparison script.
$ cat > ~/bin/git-imgdiff <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
echo "Comparing $2 and $5"

# Find a temporary directory to store the diff.
if [ -z "$TMPDIR" ]; then
  TMPDIR=/tmp
fi

compare \
  "$2" "$5" \
  /tmp/git-imgdiff-diff.png

# Display the diff.
open /tmp/git-imgdiff-diff.png
EOF

# Setup git.
git config --global core.attributesfile '~/.gitattributes'

# Add the following to ~/.gitattributes.
cat >> ~/.gitattributes <<EOF
*.png diff=imgdiff
*.jpg diff=imgdiff
*.gif diff=imgdiff
EOF

git config --global diff.imgdiff.command '~/bin/git-imgdiff'

Motivation

Due to flutter/flutter#53784, on non-Linux OSes there is no way to get golden-file changes locally for a variety of engine tests.

This tool, given log output from a Flutter CI run, will scrape the log for:

Golden file mismatch. Please check the difference between /b/s/w/ir/cache/builder/src/flutter/testing/resources/performance_overlay_gold_90fps.png and /b/s/w/ir/cache/builder/src/flutter/testing/resources/performance_overlay_gold_90fps_new.png, and  replace the former with the latter if the difference looks good.

See also the base64 encoded /b/s/w/ir/cache/builder/src/flutter/testing/resources/performance_overlay_gold_90fps_new.png:

And convert the base64 encoded image into a PNG file, and overwrite the old golden file with the new one.
