Tools for creating repeatable movies that can be run with Buildbot.
An introduction.
The Shared Cast in D3-mac-record has a macro called scummVMLog.
Log things you're interested in by calling scummVMLog importantVAR.
The macro stores this log as text in the cast B11.
Save the movie after a run so that the text in cast B11 gets saved as well.
B11 was used as to not interfere with regular casts.
The Shared Cast in D3-mac-replay also has a macro called scummVMLog.
This time it checks if the emitted log line is the same as the line stored in B11.
It will emit a 'BUILDBOT: incorrect check for line: ...' when the emitted log
is not the same as the stored log.
Since this all happens in Lingo lots of interesting things can by logging them.
As an example check the movie putter in buildbot-tests/D3-mac.
For reference, the recorder and replay macros: -- scummVM logger macro scummVMLog logLine global logText, nextLogLine if logText = 0 then set logText to logLine set nextLogLine to 2 else put logLine after line nextLogLine of logText set nextLogLine to nextLogLine + 1 end if put logText into cast B11
-- scummVM check if log in cast B11 is the same macro scummVMLog logLine global currentLogLine if currentLogLine = 0 then -- globals were previously undefined set currentLogLine to 1 else set currentLogLine to currentLogLine + 1 end if set lineToCheck to line currentLogLine of the text of cast B11 if lineToCheck = logLine then put "Line is correct:" && currentLogLine else put "BUILDBOT: incorect check for line:" && currentLogLine put "Got:" && logLine put "Expected:" && lineToCheck end if
