| This directory contains the hashes of tar.gz files uploaded to cloud storage. |
| Steps in the test.py script run "download_from_google_storage" |
| to download these tarfiles and unpack them, if the browser cache directory exists. |
| These tar files contain browser installations on the different platforms. |
| We currently download Chrome. |
| |
| The downloads use the --auto-platform feature, so that only the browsers for the |
| current platform (linux, macos, or windows) is downloaded. This requires |
| the subdirectories to have the special names "linux", "win", and "mac", which |
| the download_from_google_storage script in depot_tools is hardcoded to |
| recognize. |
| |
| The download is intended to run on bots from the swarming pools, and they |
| download to a named cache directory called "browsers" on those swarming bots. |
| |
| To upload new versions of these tar files, use the "upload_to_google_storage" |
| tool in depot_tools, after replacing the existing downloaded browser in-place |
| with the new version. |
| |
| Currently, we only have the Chrome browser for Linux uploaded. |
