Much of the infrastructure to run "self test" tests (those which test
core functionality of the `meteor` tool itself) in PhantomJS and
BrowserStack was already in place, though the BrowserStack portion had
been disabled some time ago, though the exact reason isn't entirely
clear.
BrowserStack could play an important roll in Meteor's future as Meteor
works to ensure that the bundle delivered to the client is appropriate
for that client's capabilities, including appropriate polyfills to
implement functionality not natively available in the browser (e.g.
ECMAScript features, SockJS, etc.).
The `meteor build --architecture` help was missing
`os.windows.x86_64`. This commit adds it in and also updates
an out of date comment in the source that referred to there
only being 3 allowed architectures.
While running the tests three times might make a lot of sence in CI
environments, it certainly slows things down in development, especially
when you've failed a test on purpose, but still have to wait for it to
run three times to get the output.
This not only implements the `--retries` flag, but also activates it in
both CircleCI and AppVeyor test suites.
* Adjust test filename RegExps to match Meteor guide. Fixes#9332.
* Adjusted help text for --drive-package on meteor test.
* Add integration tests for `meteor test` eager file loading.
* Fix typo in selftest.forbid comment.
* Improve test file eager load integration test coverage and clarity.
Fixes an issue preventing the installation of scoped Cordova
packages. For example,
`meteor add cordova:@somescope/some-cordova-plugin@1.0.0`
will now work properly.
Fixes https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/7336.
It's still possible to publish packages for different platforms by using
the `meteor publish-for-arch` command, though it's become increasingly
difficult to offer compatible versions for every circumstance due to the
wide matrix of Node.js ABI versions. This makes it unlikely that
a package built on the build farm will be appropriate for the
application which the package is consumed by, substantially reducing the
overall value of rather expensive infrastructure.
Since Meteor 1.4, and as part of the jump from Node 0.10 to Node 4,
Meteor introduced the capability to compile binary dependencies at the
time that a package is installed. Additionally, many Node.js packages
are already pre-compiled in a much more effective and wide-spread nature
for the entire JavaScript ecosystem using tools like `node-pre-gyp`.

Though this seems wasteful, it can happen if a SpringboardToLatestRelease
exception is thrown, and it definitely should spawn a new process rather
than returning normally from the springboard function.
Since we can't change the springboarding logic of existing Meteor
releases, this decision has to be made by the springboarded-to Meteor 1.6
release, and may result in a second springboarding.
Once Windows developers update to a 64-bit version of Meteor 1.6, they may
still wish to run apps using older versions of Meteor where only 32-bit
builds of meteor-tool are available. This commit makes that possible.
This commit reverts much of the work @hwillson had put in place for
meteor/meteor#9173, which made it possible for 32-bit and 64-bit
Mongo versions to exist in harmony within the same dev-bundle. That
hard work was not in vein though as it offered invaluable research.
Ultimately, this showed that a more aggressive approach would be ideal,
even if the proposed option would have worked great in the short-term.
In the wake of the news that Mongo would no longer be supporting 32-bit
versions, these changes are important so 32-bit users of Meteor can
continue to have a functioning Mongo binary in development, while still
allowing Meteor to ship newer Mongo (e.g. 3.4+) binaries for 64-bit
users. This is particularly relevant for Windows users, who have
previously only had 32-bit Meteor builds and represented a majority of
"32-bit" development, despite the fact most of their hosts supported
64-bit. During another time in Meteor's life, this made sense.
This commit takes improved functionality to the next level (and makes
the aforementioned changes obsolete) by introducing support for building
and shipping Meteor for Windows in a 64-bit flavor (in addition to
32-bit), which will hopefully solve a number of performance matters on
Windows by using binaries which are pre-compiled for 64-bit, rather than
forcing the Windows kernel to deal with 32-bit binaries. While Windows
has shown it's quite capable of dealing with such a situation, it seems
more and more clear (given improvements in underlying dependencies) that
performance gains could be had by freeing Windows of its 32-bit work.
This commit also further perpetuates the "archinfo" plot-line with more
story (about Windows) and various spelling corrections.
The syntax of these flags is the same as the equivalent Node.js options:
https://nodejs.org/en/docs/inspector/#command-line-options
When no port value is provided, the default is 9229.
Two notable differences:
* The flags affect the server process spawned by the parent build
process, rather than affecting the build process itself.
* The --inspect-brk flag causes the server process to pause just after
server code has loaded but before it begins to execute. This timing is
more useful than the Node.js --inspect-brk behavior, which is to pause
on the first instruction executed by the process, since that is too
early to set any useful breakpoints.

By my calculations, the sum of the sizes of the individual isopackets was
152MB, and the size of the combined isopacket is now just 36MB. That
remarkable difference goes to show how much duplication of transitive
dependencies was happening before this change.
That's a savings of 116MB for the (uncompressed) size of the meteor-tool
package. In Meteor 1.5.x, the meteor-tool package is about 544MB, but in
Meteor 1.6 it's considerably smaller: 373MB. In other words, this change
should reduce those sizes to 428MB (-21%) and 257MB (-31%), respectively.
This was causing problems with `npm@5`, but realistically it may not be
be necessary anymore since `npm@5` has a much smarter global,
self-healing `cacache`.
This Cordova `ensureDevBundleDependencies` function will utilize a another
method called `ensureDependencies` which checks to see if a module can be
resolved by the tool. If it cannot be resolved, it will install it using the
`installNpmModule` facilities of `meteor-npm.js` in the same way as other npm
packages within packages, except with the destination as the `dev_bundle`.
This commit also adds a couple of previously not explicitly installed npm
modules which Meteor requires directly: `cordova-registry-mapper` and
`cordova-common`. Both of these were previously relying on npm package hoisting
which previously occurred during the installation of `cordova-lib` in the dev
bundle which happened under the supervision of a `package.json` file (which is
later purged).
When `cordova-lib` is installed directly, without a package.json, the
aforementioned packages are not hoisted to the top level, but instead reside
inside `cordova-lib`. This is less than ideal since we're relying on the API
of an indirect dependency of `cordova-lib`.
This will enable the possibility of deferring the installation of the Cordova
modules (e.g. `cordova-lib`, `cordova-common`) until a time deemed appropriate.
