[webkit-dev] Tips on why run-webkit-tests is not working for me?

[Eric Seidel]

I should note that webkit-patch does do some magic to find it's
checkout.  Its possible it's somehow confused by your svn setup?  I
don't personally use the svn codepaths very often.


In case this is useful, here is some more context on what webkitpy is
trying to do:

Most webkitpy clients, including webkit-patch, create a Host object:
http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/common/host.py#L128
which includes an "SCM" object, which is created by looking for your
checkout_root via the SCMDetector:
http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/common/checkout/scm/detection.py#L44

In your case it likely decides it's SVN:
http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/common/checkout/scm/svn.py#L85
and then walks up to find the root of the checkout:
http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/common/checkout/scm/svn.py#L112

It has some fancy logic to handle nested SVN checkouts.

This is designed to emulate the "wkdirs.pm" behavior from all the
perl-scripts of yor.  (I really like that I can run build-webkit from
any command-prompt and have it do the right thing.  webkit-patch tries
to behave the same.)
