It looks like this pull request may not have tests. Please make sure to add tests or get an explicit test exemption before merging.

If you are not sure if you need tests, consider this rule of thumb: the purpose of a test is to make sure someone doesn't accidentally revert the fix. Ask yourself, is there anything in your PR that you feel it is important we not accidentally revert back to how it was before your fix?

Reviewers: Read the Tree Hygiene page and make sure this patch meets those guidelines before LGTMing. If you believe this PR qualifies for a test exemption, contact "@test-exemption-reviewer" in the #hackers channel in Discord (don't just cc them here, they won't see it!). The test exemption team is a small volunteer group, so all reviewers should feel empowered to ask for tests, without delegating that responsibility entirely to the test exemption group.

Code Review

This pull request introduces the --[no-]default-linux-sysroot flag to the gn script, allowing control over the use_default_linux_sysroot GN argument. The implementation correctly adds the argument parsing logic and passes the value to the GN arguments. However, the change is missing corresponding tests to verify the new flag's behavior, which is a deviation from the project's contribution guidelines. I've left a comment with a suggestion for adding the necessary tests.

This pull request adds a new command-line flag, but it doesn't include any tests to verify its functionality. The PR checklist indicates that tests have been added, but they are not present in the diff.

According to the Flutter Style Guide, new features should be accompanied by tests.1

Please add tests to engine/src/flutter/tools/gn_test.py to cover the new --[no-]default-linux-sysroot flag. You could add tests to verify:

  • The default value is True.
  • --no-default-linux-sysroot sets the value to False.
  • --default-linux-sysroot sets the value to True.

For example:

  def test_default_linux_sysroot_defaults_to_true(self):
    self.assertTrue(self._gn_args([])['use_default_linux_sysroot'])

  def test_default_linux_sysroot_can_be_disabled(self):
    self.assertFalse(self._gn_args(['--no-default-linux-sysroot'])['use_default_linux_sysroot'])

Style Guide References

Footnotes

  1. The style guide requires that new features are accompanied by tests to ensure correctness and prevent future regressions.
