Launch DDS from Dart SDK and prepare to serve DevTools from DDS (#146593) This change is a major step towards moving away from shipping DDS via Pub. The first component of this PR is the move away from importing package:dds to launch DDS. Instead, DDS is launched out of process using the `dart development-service` command shipped with the Dart SDK. This makes Flutter's handling of DDS consistent with the standalone Dart VM. The second component of this PR is the initial work to prepare for the removal of instances of DevTools being served manually by the flutter_tool, instead relying on DDS to serve DevTools. This will be consistent with how the standalone Dart VM serves DevTools, tying the DevTools lifecycle to a live DDS instance. This will allow for the removal of much of the logic needed to properly manage the lifecycle of the DevTools server in a future PR. Also, by serving DevTools from DDS, users will no longer need to forward a secondary port in remote workflows as DevTools will be available on the DDS port. This code is currently commented out and will be enabled in a future PR. There's two remaining circumstances that will prevent us from removing DevtoolsRunner completely: - The daemon's `devtools.serve` endpoint - `flutter drive`'s `--profile-memory` flag used for recording memory profiles This PR also includes some refactoring around `DebuggingOptions` to reduce the number of debugging related arguments being passed as parameters adjacent to a `DebuggingOptions` instance. https://dart.googlesource.com/external/github.com/flutter/flutter/+/f023430859dc580e0f12ad026366c2299f9b2231
Monorepo is:
With depot_tools installed and on your path, create a directory for your monorepo checkout and run these commands to create a gclient solution in that directory:
mkdir monorepo cd monorepo gclient config --unmanaged https://dart.googlesource.com/monorepo gclient sync -D
This gives you a checkout in the monorepo directory that contains:
monorepo/ DEPS - the DEPS used for this gclient checkout commits.json - the pinned commits for Dart, flutter/engine, and flutter/flutter tools/ - scripts used to create monorepo DEPS engine/src/ - the flutter/buildroot repo flutter/ - the flutter/engine repo out/ - the build directory, where Flutter engine builds are created third_party/ - Flutter dependencies checked out by DEPS dart/ - the Dart SDK checkout. third_party - Dart dependencies, also used by Flutter flutter/ - the flutter/flutter repo
Flutter's instructions for building the engine are at Compiling the engine
They can be followed closely, with a few changes:
goma_ctl ensure_start is sufficient.Example build commands that work on linux:
MONOREPO_PATH=$PWD if [[ ! $PATH =~ (^|:)$MONOREPO_PATH/flutter/bin(:|$) ]]; then PATH=$MONOREPO_PATH/flutter/bin:$PATH fi export GOMA_DIR=$(dirname $(command -v gclient))/.cipd_bin goma_ctl ensure_start pushd engine/src flutter/tools/gn --goma --no-prebuilt-dart-sdk --unoptimized --full-dart-sdk autoninja -C out/host_debug_unopt popd
The Flutter commands used to build and run apps will use the locally built Flutter engine and Dart SDK, instead of the one downloaded by the Flutter tool, if the --local-engine option is provided.
For example, to build and run the Flutter spinning square sample on the web platform,
MONOREPO_PATH=$PWD cd flutter/examples/layers flutter --local-engine=host_debug_unopt \ -d chrome run widgets/spinning_square.dart cd $MONOREPO_PATH
To build for desktop, specify the desktop platform device in flutter run as -d macos or -d linux or -d windows. You may also need to run the command
flutter create --platforms=windows,macos,linux
on existing apps, such as sample apps. New apps created with flutter create already include these support files. Details of desktop support are at Desktop Support for Flutter
Tests in the Flutter source tree can be run with the flutter test command, run in the directory of a package containing tests. For example:
MONOREPO_PATH=$PWD cd flutter/packages/flutter flutter test --local-engine=host_debug_unopt cd $MONOREPO_PATH
Please file an issue or email the dart-engprod team with any problems with or questions about using monorepo.
We will update this documentation to address them.
flutter commands may download the engine and Dart SDK files for the configured channel, even though they will be using the local engine and its SDK.gclient sync needs to be run in an administrator session, because some installed dependencies create symlinks.
