installer: install the tick processor #3032

matthewloring · 2015-09-23T18:15:46Z

The tick processor is used to provide readable profiling information
from isolate tick logs (produced by a call to node -prof).

This patch installs the file at $PREFIX/share/doc/node/tick-processor.

/cc @bnoordhuis @ofrobots

I haven't been able to check this on windows. I'm also not sure how this script is invoked on windows (there does seem to be windows specific logic inside it but it also has unix paths).

/cc @nodejs/platform-windows This makes it really simple to do profiling with Node.js without any additional tools needing to be installed. Any ideas on what would be needed to extend this to windows?

richardlau · 2015-11-25T03:50:47Z

@ofrobots AFAIK tools/install.py is not called on Windows (which is built via vcbuild.bat instead of using the Makefile). Instead you'll need to modify the msi installer project files located in tools/msvs/msi.

bnoordhuis · 2015-11-25T12:36:23Z

LGTM but @richardlau is right, the Windows installer doesn't use tools/install.py. The Mac installer should pick it up automatically though, I think.

@bnoordhuis @richardlau I've removed the windows specific logic from this PR but I have not modified the previously existing windows checks in install.py which sound like they shouldn't be there. If it's alright, I'll leave the windows installation to another PR and keep this to mac/linux for now.

Thanks, landed in b2e7a4d.

This might be a good candidate for cherry-picking into the LTS branch but there are a few things to resolve first:

$prefix/share/doc is perhaps not the best place to drop an executable script.
tick-processor should maybe be renamed to node-tick-processor.
The user experience is a little confusing at times. For example, if you invoke it without arguments, it throws the following exception:

$ $HOME/opt/node/share/doc/node/tick-processor 
fs.js:585
  return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);
                 ^

TypeError: path must be a string
    at TypeError (native)
    at Object.fs.openSync (fs.js:585:18)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/home/bnoordhuis/opt/node/share/doc/node/tick-processor:54:13)
   <snip>

richardlau · 2015-11-25T14:56:57Z

Looks like the existing Windows checks in install.py originated from nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#8294 for MSYS2/MinGW-w64.

This change cleans up outstanding comments on #3032. It improves error handling when no isolate file is provided and adds the --prof-process flag to the node binary which executes the tick processor on the provided isolate file.

Marking this lts-watch for v4 for there appear to be some issues to resolve first before it can land. See #3032 (comment)

matthewloring · 2015-12-17T19:59:37Z

@jasnell These comments were addressed in #4021 which already landed. As a heads up, there are further changes in the pipeline with #4224 (still in review).

MylesBorins · 2015-12-29T21:09:06Z

waiting on #4224 before landing this in LTS

matthewloring · 2015-12-29T21:41:14Z

@thealphanerd #4224 should be ready to land. Has an LGTM and a green CI.

MylesBorins · 2015-12-29T22:09:45Z

oh excellent! That will have to land on master and make it's way to a release channel before heading to LTS

MylesBorins · 2016-01-08T17:17:54Z

@matthewloring most likely if we want to get all of these into LTS we will need #4021 to be approved by the CTC to merge into LTS as a semver minor. I'll add the appropriate flags.

jasnell · 2016-02-17T18:40:33Z

@nodejs/lts ... please weigh in on this one. This LGTM for v4.4

In December we announced that we would be doing a minor release in order to get a number of voted on SEMVER-MINOR changes into LTS. Our ability to release this was delayed due to the unforeseen security release v4.3. We are quickly bumping to v4.4 in order to bring you the features that we had committed to releasing. This release also includes security updates to openssl. More information can be found [on nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/openssl-march-2016/) This release also includes over 70 fixes to our docs and over 50 fixes to tests.
