An experimental tool to make it easier to migrate fuchsia.git v1 components to v2.
This is an aid to save time during go/cmxtinction, and users should expect to perform manual work to make the generated files acceptable. It is still the user's responsibility to:
exposed capabilitiesSee comments in the generated CML for more detailed follow-up actions.
Run a build and then fx cmx2cml --runner RUNNER PATH_TO_CMX. Runner options:
elfelf-testrust-testIf conversion is successful a CML file will be written alongside the original CMX. You can override the output location with --output path/to.cml.
See the overall docs for the Components v2 migration.
As with all aspects of the components migration, reach out to the Component Framework team if you have issues.
v1 manifests do not require components to list which protocols they expose to their parent, which means that this tool cannot statically know what to put in a CML file's expose section.
The only test runner supported is the ELF test runner, because it allows transparently migrating args and env vars. Users can follow up and choose a more featureful test runner for their language as a follow-up.
The converter only reasons about children when migrating injected-services declarations, otherwise it is assumed that any existing v1 children will stay as v1 components with their lifecycle managed dynamically using fuchsia.sys.*.
Children added to replace injected services may need additional capabilities routed to them.
Note: while there are significant limitations to this approach, this tool was able to convert ~620 of ~900 CMX files in fuchsia.git at time of writing without encountering any of the below gaps.
The initial version of this tool does not support converting Dart components.
This tool does not expand shards before converting, so CMX files which rely on shards to populate key portions of e.g. program will not work.
Not all providers of injected-services have known v2 equivalents to use.
Tests which specify args for the components listed in injected-services are not supported, as v2 static children must be referenced solely by URL.
Components which request sandbox.boot, sandbox.pkgfs, or sandbox.system are not supported.
Components which use the hub feature will need to manually add the appropriate uses for events and migrate their tests' code to make use of the new protocols.
Components which use the deprecated-ambient-replace-as-executable, deprecated-shell or deprecated-global-dev features are not supported.
Components which request device directories other than those offered by test_manager are not supported.
See tests/goldens for some example CMX files that are converted to CML by the build.
When making changes that introduce new errors or panics it can be useful to run this tool on ~all CMX files available. Try running ./try_convert_all_cmx.sh to see the tool in action. Beware it will leave several hundred possibly-valid CML files in your tree. If that script prints errors that are due to known limitations, add the CMX file to the list of exceptions at the top of the script. Consider adding new CMX->CML goldens if your change changes behavior that is only executed by this script.
