Testing and Tools

Tests

Test deno:

  1. # Run the whole suite:
  2. cargo test
  3. # Only test cli/tests/unit/:
  4. cargo test js_unit_tests

Test std/:

  1. cargo test std_tests

Lint and format

Lint the code:

  1. deno run -A --unstable ./tools/lint.js

Format the code:

  1. deno run -A --unstable ./tools/format.js

Profiling

To start profiling:

  1. # Make sure we're only building release.
  2. # Build deno and V8's d8.
  3. ninja -C target/release d8
  4. # Start the program we want to benchmark with --prof
  5. ./target/release/deno run tests/http_bench.ts --allow-net --v8-flags=--prof &
  6. # Exercise it.
  7. third_party/wrk/linux/wrk http://localhost:4500/
  8. kill `pgrep deno`

V8 will write a file in the current directory that looks like this: isolate-0x7fad98242400-v8.log. To examine this file:

  1. D8_PATH=target/release/ ./third_party/v8/tools/linux-tick-processor
  2. isolate-0x7fad98242400-v8.log > prof.log
  3. # on macOS, use ./third_party/v8/tools/mac-tick-processor instead

prof.log will contain information about tick distribution of different calls.

To view the log with Web UI, generate JSON file of the log:

  1. D8_PATH=target/release/ ./third_party/v8/tools/linux-tick-processor
  2. isolate-0x7fad98242400-v8.log --preprocess > prof.json

Open third_party/v8/tools/profview/index.html in your browser, and select prof.json to view the distribution graphically.

Useful V8 flags during profiling:

  • —prof
  • —log-internal-timer-events
  • —log-timer-events
  • —track-gc
  • —log-source-code
  • —track-gc-object-stats

Debugging with LLDB

To debug the deno binary, we can use rust-lldb. It should come with rustc and is a wrapper around LLDB.

  1. $ rust-lldb -- ./target/debug/deno run --allow-net tests/http_bench.ts
  2. # On macOS, you might get warnings like
  3. # `ImportError: cannot import name _remove_dead_weakref`
  4. # In that case, use system python by setting PATH, e.g.
  5. # PATH=/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:$PATH
  6. (lldb) command script import "/Users/kevinqian/.rustup/toolchains/1.36.0-x86_64-apple-darwin/lib/rustlib/etc/lldb_rust_formatters.py"
  7. (lldb) type summary add --no-value --python-function lldb_rust_formatters.print_val -x ".*" --category Rust
  8. (lldb) type category enable Rust
  9. (lldb) target create "../deno/target/debug/deno"
  10. Current executable set to '../deno/target/debug/deno' (x86_64).
  11. (lldb) settings set -- target.run-args "tests/http_bench.ts" "--allow-net"
  12. (lldb) b op_start
  13. (lldb) r
