These are the top-level scripts which run inside of Swarming tasks to perform all of Skia's automated testing.
To run a recipe locally:
$ python infra/bots/recipes.py run --workdir=/tmp/<workdir> <recipe name without .py> key1=value1 key2=value2 ...
Each recipe may have its own required properties which must be entered as key/value pairs in the command.
When you change a recipe, you generally need to re-train the simulation test:
$ python infra/bots/recipes.py test train
Or:
$ cd infra/bots; make train
The test generates expectations files for the tests contained within each recipe which illustrate which steps would run, given a particular set of inputs. Pay attention to the diffs in these files when making changes to ensure that your change has the intended effect.
