[recipes.py] add missing helpstrings, merge test subcommands into main parser.

This also has the nice benefit of allowing `test --help` to work correctly.

Recipes

Recipes are a domain-specific language (embedded in python) for specifying sequences of subprocess calls in a cross-platform and testable way.

Files

  • README.md

    This file!

  • bootstrap/

    Bootstrapping and vendoring related code.

  • doc/

    Documentation for the recipe engine (including this file!). Also includes doc/recipes.py, which is a file you can include in your repository to start using recipes. See the design doc for more detailed design information about the recipe engine.

  • infra/

    Chrome infra config files.

  • recipes.py

    The main entry point to the recipe engine. It has many subcommands and flags; run recipes.py -h to see them.

  • recipes/

    Recipes in the recipe engine. These are either example recipes, or recipes which are used to test the engine (see run_test.py to see these run)

  • recipe_modules/

    Built in recipe modules. These are very useful when writing recipes; take a look in there, and look at their example.py files.

  • recipe_engine/

    The core functionality of the recipe engine. Noteworthy files include:

    • package.proto -- The protobuf file which defines the format of a recipes.cfg file.
    • third_party/ -- third_party code which is vendored into the recipe engine.
    • recipe_api.py -- The api exposed to a recipe module.
    • unittests -- Unittests for the engine.

    There are also several files which correspond to a subcommand of recipes.py; depgraph, run, and autoroll are some examples.

  • unittests/

    Somewhat poorly named, these are higher level integration tests.
