Although very common, bash is not guaranteed to be located at
`/bin/bash`. NixOS is an example of this.
More commonly, `/bin/bash` can be quite out of date. An example of this
is MacOS's version of `bash`. This realistically won't affect Playwright
but it's worth noting. You can technically update MacOS's system version
of bash but you need elevated permissions to do so.
By using `/usr/bin/env bash` instead of `/bin/bash` we can execute
Playwright's bash scripts in like NixOS and generally improve the
selection behaviour for bash in other systems too.
Some discussion of why it's worth favouring `/usr/bin/env bash` over
`/bin/bash`:
- Discusses `/bin/bash` missing in NixOS:

- Some general commentary on why `/usr/bin/env bash` is favoured:

Improves situation at #5501
This moves default Firefox and WebKit checkouts to $HOME folder,
unless browser specific env variables are specified.
In other words:
- Firefox checkouts goes to `$HOME/firefox` unless there's a
`$FF_CHECKOUT_PATH` that specifies a custom location.
- WebKit checkout goes to `$HOME/webkit` unless there's a
`$WK_CHECKOUT_PATH` that specifies a custom location.
With this change, all build bots will now re-use checkouts
between builds, which should speed up compilation.
Browsers require particular xcode versions to be installed on the host
machine to produce successful build.
This patch starts using explicit xcode versions for all mac browser
builds.
* This changes the archive.sh script to use the webkit generate-bundle
tool to generate the MiniBrowser bundles instead of using our custom
logic.
* pw_run.sh is simplified because the new bundles include a wrapper
script that sets the needed LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables.
pw_run.sh now calls this wrapper script (for GTK or WPE) instead of
calling the MiniBrowser binary directly when running from a bundle.

This patch changes the build system to use the JHBuild minimal dependency
system introduced in WebKit r264092 <https://trac.webkit.org/r264092>
The build has been tested with Ubuntu-18.04
The binary size of the zip bundles is now: 37M (WPE) and 40M (GTK).
Previously it was 54M and 59M (respectively)
Second try at #556. Uses absolute paths for the environment variables so that WPEDependencies builds properly. Switches from `WebKitBuildWPE` to `WebKitBuild/WPE` to avoid the need to change the .gitignore.
My computer takes a long time to build, but it appears to be working.
This patch:
- teaches `//browser_patches/webkit/build.sh` to accept the `--wpe` flag
- teaches `//browser_patches/webkit/archive.sh` to accept the `--wpe` flag
- teaches `//browser_patches/webkit/pw_run.sh` to parse the `--headless`
flag. In this case, we will assume that
`//browser_patches/webkit/checkout` is built for WPE and will pass
proper dependencies.
