Rate limit updates in the experimental UI and keep it fresh Make the experimental UI honor the --show_progress_rate_limit flag. While just dropping a status bar update if it happens too soon after the last update shown would be easy, there are a few delecate points to keep in mind. Assume that several updates happen after another and then nothing for a long time. Then the last(!) update is the one the user wants to see, as it most accurately reflects which actions are running during the long period. However, the simple dropping algorithms would show the first of those state updates. So, whenever we refrain from updating due to the rate limit we to make sure that an update will happen soon-ish, even if no events are reported for a long time. We do this by having (at most) one thread that periodically triggers updates of the progress, if the rate limit allows this. This mechanism is additionally used to ensure that the progress bar, when showing time-dependent data is kept fresh. For this property we also add a test. There is a third point to keep in mind: users (and also our tests) want to see all phases. However, some phases (like loading) might be so short that they happen in its entirety within a refresh interval. Therefore, whenever a new important phase starts, we skip the rate limit interval once; note that this happens at most a fixed number of times during the entire build. -- Change-Id: Iee68194d7eb92d6ef9efdc7abde6f56edfa21ce8 Reviewed-on: https://bazel-review.googlesource.com/#/c/3293 MOS_MIGRATED_REVID=119515272
{Fast, Correct} - Choose two
Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to build the majority of Google‘s software, and thus it has been designed to handle build problems present in Google’s development environment, including:
A massive, shared code repository, in which all software is built from source. Bazel has been built for speed, using both caching and parallelism to achieve this. Bazel is critical to Google's ability to continue to scale its software development practices as the company grows.
An emphasis on automated testing and releases. Bazel has been built for correctness and reproducibility, meaning that a build performed on a continuous build machine or in a release pipeline will generate bitwise-identical outputs to those generated on a developer's machine.
Language and platform diversity. Bazel's architecture is general enough to support many different programming languages within Google, and can be used to build both client and server software targeting multiple architectures from the same underlying codebase.
