## What does a Skia Gardener do?
---
A Skia Gardener keeps an eye on the tree, DEPS rolls, Gold tool, the Perf tool,
and triages Chrome bugs.
Below is a brief summary of what the gardener does for each task:
<a name="skia_tree"></a>
### Skia tree
- Understand the
[testing infrastructure](https://skia.org/docs/dev/testing/automated_testing).
- Start watching the [status page](https://status.skia.org) for bot breakages.
- Track down people responsible for breakages and revert broken changes if there
is no easy fix. You can use [blamer](#blamer) to help track down such changes.
- For clean reverts, you need to add "Rubber Stamper" if the author isn't around to +1
the change. See [go/rubber-stamper-user-guide](http://go/rubber-stamper-user-guide) for more.
- For dirty reverts, you can use [go/skia-break-glass](http://go/skia-break-glass) to
move quickly.
- Close and open the [tree](http://tree-status.skia.org).
- Keep the builder comments on the [status page](https://status.skia.org) up to
date.
- File or follow up with
[BreakingTheBuildbots bugs](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/skia/issues/list?q=label:BreakingTheBuildbots).
See the tip on [when to file bugs](#when_to_file_bugs).
- Read and update the
[Ongoing Issues section](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y2jUf4vXI0fwhu2TiCLVIfWC1JOxFcHXGw39y7i-y_I/edit#heading=h.tpualuc3p7z0)
in the handoff doc.
- (Optional) Document significant events that occurred during your shift in the
[Weekly Handoff Notes section](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y2jUf4vXI0fwhu2TiCLVIfWC1JOxFcHXGw39y7i-y_I/edit#heading=h.y49irwbutzr)
in the handoff doc.
<a name="triage"></a>
### Triage
You should triage Chromium and Skia bugs that show up under "Untriaged Bugs" on
the [status page](https://status.skia.org). The Android Gardener will triage the
untriaged Android Bugs. For a more detailed view of bugs see
[Skia Bugs Central](https://bugs-central.skia.org/).
<a name="blamer"></a>
### Blamer
If you have Go installed, a command-line tool is available to search through git
history and do text searches on the full patch text and the commit message. To
install blamer run:
go get go.skia.org/infra/blamer/go/blamer
Then run blamer from within a Skia checkout. For example, to search if the
string "SkDevice" has appeared in the last 10 commits:
$ $GOPATH/bin/blamer --match SkDevice --num 10

<a name="autorollers"></a>
### Autorollers
- Ensure that all AutoRollers listed on the
[status page](https://status.skia.org) are successfully landing.
<a name="gold_and_perf"></a>
### Gold and Perf
- Pay attention for new [Perf](https://perf.skia.org/) and
[Gold](https://gold.skia.org/) alerts (by clicking on the bell at the top
right of the [status page](https://status.skia.org)).
- The gardener's duty here is to make sure that when developers introduce new
images or new perf regressions, that they are aware of what happened, and they
use these tools to take appropriate action.
<a name="skia_gardener_doc"></a>
### Documentation
- Improve/update this documentation page for future gardeners, especially the
[Tips section](#tips).
In general, gardeners should have a strong bias towards actions that keep the
tree green and then open; if a simple revert can fix the problem, the gardener
<b>should revert first and ask questions later</b>.

## Preparing for your rotation
---
<a name="useful_bookmarks"></a>
### Useful bookmarks
- [The Chromium main console](https://ci.chromium.org/p/chromium/g/main/console).
- [The Flutter engine console](https://ci.chromium.org/p/flutter/g/engine/console).
- [Skia client search](https://brianosman.users.x20web.corp.google.com/www/skia-client-search.html),
a tool for searching the codebases of all skia clients at once.
<a name="chat_rooms"></a>
### Chat rooms
- [Flutter Engine Sherriff](https://chat.google.com/room/AAAAm69vf-M) room to
watch for Flutter issues that are caused by Skia bugs or need assistance from
our team.
<a name="view_current_upcoming_rotations"></a>
## View current and upcoming rotations
---
The list of Skia Gardeners is specified
[here](https://rotations.corp.google.com/rotation/4699606003744768). The
gardeners widget on the [status page](https://status.skia.org) also displays the
current gardeners.
<a name="how_to_swap"></a>
## How to swap rotation shifts
---
If you need to swap shifts with someone (because you are out sick or on
vacation), please get approval from the person you want to swap with and
directly make the swap via the
[rotations page](https://rotations.corp.google.com/rotation/4699606003744768).

## Tips for Skia Gardeners
---
<a name="when_to_file_bugs"></a>
### When to file bugs
Pay close attention to the "Failures" view in the
[status page](https://status.skia.org). Look at all existing
[BreakingTheBuildbots bugs](https://bug.skia.org/?q=label:BreakingTheBuildbots).
If the list is kept up to date then it should accurately represent everything
that is causing failures. If it does not, then please file/update bugs
accordingly.
<a name="how_close_tree"></a>
### How to close or re-open the tree
1. Go to [tree-status.skia.org](https://tree-status.skia.org).
2. Change the status.
- To close the tree, include the word "closed" in the status.
- To open the tree, include the word "open" in the status.
- To caution the tree, include the word "caution" in the status.
<a name="how_to_submit_when_tree_closed"></a>
### How to submit when the tree is closed
- Submit manually using the "git cl land" with the --bypass-hooks flag.
- Add "No-Tree-Checks: true" to your CL description and use the CQ as usual.
<a name="how_to_revert"></a>
### How to revert a CL
See the revert documentation [here](https://skia.org/docs/dev/contrib/revert).
<a name="deps_roll_failures"></a>
### What to do if DEPS roll fails to land
A common cause of DEPS roll failures are layout tests. Find the offending Skia
CL by examining the commit hash range in the DEPS roll and revert (or talk to
the commit author if they are available). If you do revert then keep an eye on
the next DEPS roll to make sure it succeeds.
If a Skia CL changes layout tests, but the new images look good, the tests need
to be rebaselined. See [Rebaseline Layout Tests](#how_to_rebaseline).
<a name="how_to_rebaseline"></a>
### Rebaseline Layout Tests (i.e., add suppressions)
- First create a Chromium bug:
- goto [crbug.com](https://crbug.com)
- Make sure you're logged in with your Chromium credentials
- Click “New Issue”
- Summary: “Skia image rebaseline”
- Description:
- DEPS roll #,
- Helpful message about what went wrong (e.g., “Changes to how lighting is
scaled in Skia r#### changed the following images:”)
- Layout tests affected
- You should copy the list of affected from stdio of the failing bot
- Status: Assigned
- Owner: yourself
- cc: bsalomon@, robertphillips@ & developer responsible for changes
- Labels: OS-All & Cr-Blink-LayoutTests
- If it is filter related, cc senorblanco@
- (Dispreferred but faster) Edit
[skia/skia_test_expectations.txt](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/+/refs/heads/trunk/skia/skia_test_expectations.txt)
- Add # comment about what has changed (I usually paraphrase the crbug text)
- Add line(s) like the following after the comment:
- crbug.com/<bug#youjustcreated> foo/bar/test-name.html [ ImageOnlyFailure ]
- Note: this change is usually done in the DEPS roll patch itself
- (Preferred but slower) Make a separate Blink patch by editing
LayoutTests/TestExpectations
- Add # comment about what has changed (I usually paraphrase the crbug text)
- Add line(s) like the following after the comment:
- crbug.com/<bug#youjustcreated> foo/bar/test-name.html [ Skip ] # needs
rebaseline
- Commit the patch you created and wait until it lands and rolls into Chrome
- Retry the DEPS roll (for the 1st/dispreferred option this usually means just
retrying the layout bots)
- Make a Blink patch by editing LayoutTests/TestExpectations
- Add # comment about what has changed
- Add line(s) like the following after the comment:
- crbug.com/<bug#youjustcreated> foo/bar/test-name.html [ Skip ] # needs
rebaseline
- (if you took the second option above you can just edit the existing
line(s))
- If you took the first/dispreferred option above:
- Wait for the Blink patch to roll into Chrome
- Create a Chrome patch that removes your suppressions from
skia/skia_test_expectations.txt
