devops: speedup initial browser checkout (#4352)
Instead of checking out the whole repository, we now do a shallow
clone.

We then gradually "unshallow" the clone, looking for the `BASE_REVISION`.

This should fix experimental mac-11 builder.

Contributing Browser Patches

Firefox and WebKit have additional patches atop to expose necessary capabilities.

Ideally, all these changes should be upstreamed. For the time being, it is possible to setup a browser checkout and develop from there.

WebKit upstream status

1. Setting up local browser checkout

From the playwright repo, run the following command:

$ ./browser_patches/prepare_checkout.sh firefox <path to checkout>

(you can optionally pass "webkit" for a webkit checkout)

If you don't have a checkout, don't pass a path and one will be created for you in ./browser_patches/firefox/checkout

NOTE: this command downloads GBs of data.

This command will:

  • create a browser_upstream remote in the checkout
  • create a playwright-build branch and apply all playwright-required patches to it.

2. Developing a new change

You want to create a new branch off the playwright-build branch.

Assuming that you're under ./browser_patches/firefox/checkout:

$ git checkout -b my-new-feature playwright-build
$ # develop my feature on the my-new-feature branch ....

3. Exporting your change to playwright repo

Once you're happy with the work you did in the browser-land, you want to export it to the playwright repo.

Assuming that you're in the root of the playwright repo and that your browser checkout has your feature branch checked out:

$ ./browser_patches/export.sh firefox <path to checkout>

This script will:

  • create a new patch and put it to the ./browser_patches/firefox/patches/
  • update the ./browser_patches/firefox/UPSTREAM_CONFIG.sh if necessary
  • bump the ./browser_patches/firefox/BUILD_NUMBER number.

If you omit the path to your checkout, the script will assume one is located at ./browser_patches/firefox/checkout

Send a PR to the Playwright repo to be reviewed.

4. Rolling Playwright to the new browser build

Once the patch has been committed, the build bots will kick in, compile and upload a new browser version to all the platforms. Then you can roll the browser:

$ node utils/roll_browser.js chromium 123456
