789030 - Remove existing trailing whitespaces from our tests and shared modules

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla QA Graveyard :: Mozmill Tests, defect)

Description

[Maniac Vlad Florin (:vladmaniac)]

We need to not only strictly avoid trailing whitespaces in our patches, but remove existent ones from our repository.

Comment 1

[Alex Lakatos[:AlexLakatos]]

A good start would be to run this in mozmill-tests
>grep -r ' $' ./
That will give you a list with all occurences.

>grep -r ' $' ./tests/ | cut -f1 -d : | uniq
That will give you a list with just the file paths, and after that it's a matter of opening them and having fun.

This command might help remove all the whitespaces in ./tests/:

> find ./tests/ -type f -exec sed -i 's/\s\+$//' {} \;

It might very well do that. Would you mind to work on a patch?

Sure! I just thought taking up good first bugs beyond the first couple of patches wasn't allowed. So, should I run this from m-c root or just *test*/ directories?

Great! The tests we are referring to here are not located in m-c but in a separate repository which you can find here: http://hg.mozilla.org/qa/mozmill-tests/

This repository contains a couple of named branches and we would have to run this command for each of those. See the following URL for details:

[Pranav Ravichandran [:pranavrc]]

I've removed the whitespaces, using this at the root of mozmill-tests (just in case the command is needed for review):

> find . -not \( -name .hg -prune \) -type f | xargs file | grep -i  ASCII |cut -d: -f1| xargs sed 's/\s\+$//' -i

I have a bunch of patches, one for each branch now. Is it required that way, or is there some other way to generate a patch/diff for the whole repository, inclusive of all branches?

We are having a single patch for the default branch at first, that is Firefox Nightly. 
If that is approved and checked in, then we handle other branches. As a process, this can be both transplating the default patch if applies, or build other patches separately if needed. 
This bug would definitely need separate patches for branches because its a refactoring fix and handles multiple files. 

Does that make any sense to you? Please come back and I'll be happy to give more details

Ah right, if default passes, you hg graft it to other branches or separately patch the other branches. Thanks! Here's the patch for the default branch.

Wow. I have never thought that we have so many trailing white-space issues. This patch looks great and I'm going to land it right now. Can you please check if it can be cleanly applied to the other branches? If not mind giving us appropriate backport patches? Thanks!

Thanks Pranav. Let us know if you're interested in contributing anything else! :)

[Pranav Ravichandran [:pranavrc]]

Absolutely! Do give me a heads up if there's anything I could work on, and meanwhile, I'll be lurking on bugsahoy and the bugzilla search trying to find something.

Pranav, it would be fantastic if you could join our #automation channel on IRC so that we can figure out which type of bugs would be best for you. I want to be sure to direct you into the direction of your own interest. If you aren't able to join let us know and we can follow-up via email.

Interesting, I was not able to purge trailing end of line whitespace using the mozilla-build shell on windows, with the sed expression described. 

> sed 's/\s\+$//'

-i was also not a recognized option to sed on the mozilla-build shell. Maybe this was unique to the shell or OS being used.

I had do do this below to reliably remove trailing end of line white space (excluding unwanted 'tab'whitespace, which is a different thing altogether).

sed 's/[ ]*$//'
