Previously JS IR versions of stdlib and kotlin-test were build
by default using compiler previously built on a buildserver.
It had some issues:
- This required us to advance bootstrap every time we made any
incompatible IR changes. This happens often since IR ABI is
not quite stable yet.
- We never tested the exact combination of compiler and stdlib we publish
We tested:
- new compiler with new stdlib build by new compiler (in box tests)
- old compiler with new stdlib build by old compiler (in stdlib tests)
We published:
- new compiler with new stdlib build by old compiler
After this change JS IR compiler tests, builds and publishes
single configuration:
new compiler with new stdlib build by new compiler
JS IR stdlib and kotlin-test are now built using JavaExec of CLI instead
of Gradle plugin to avoid troubles of loading a freshly built plugin.
This also allows to have a granular dependencies: we don't rebuild klib
if we changed a lowering in a compiler backend, but we do rebuild it if
we changed IR serialization algorithm.
Each Kotlin task now writes build history to separate file.
A map of output directories to history files is used to get changes for
modified files.
#KT-22623 fixed
When TestLoggerFactory is initialized in tests it checks that variable
and it it's not present uses classpath to search for logger configuration.
If this search is unsuccessful a lot of exceptions are written to log:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not find installation home path. Please make sure bin/idea.properties is present in the installation directory.
at com.intellij.openapi.application.PathManager.getHomePath(PathManager.java:96)
at com.intellij.testFramework.TestLoggerFactory.reconfigure(TestLoggerFactory.java:67)
When plugins DSL is used, there is no need to
manually generate typesafe accessors for extensions and
conventions (by running `./gradlew kotlinDslAccessorsSnapshot`).
