@larsbergstrom So @waddlesplash believes #11969 should be combined with #11967 (the installer). Can you update the post above?

Coder206 on 2 Jul 2016

Yeah, it makes the most sense to do those two as one PR.

waddlesplash on 2 Jul 2016

Sounds good! I'll work with @metajack to merge the two PRs. I'll leave them like this for now, if you don't mind, because we don't have a separate issue for the icon & MSI packaging. I'm hoping we'll close this down _very_ early next week.

larsbergstrom on 2 Jul 2016

@larsbergstrom Ok, that's fine by me.

Coder206 on 2 Jul 2016

@larsbergstrom - any progress thus far? (yeah, I know it's still _very_ early in the week your TZ 😛)

I'm going to go ahead and commit to having a working build up on Wednesday (July 20th) by hook or by crook :-)

I apologize to everybody waiting for this!

I'll be looking forward to test it and QA it!!!

gaby2300 on 15 Jul 2016

Make if possible Portable mode for Windows, without any installer, and store configsdata in program folder.

It looks like this is going to take a couple more days, but we've made really great progress. Sorry for the delay! There's... a lot to fix :-(

That said, I think that we'll have a .tar.gz containing the current Windows nightly builds in the "obvious" place tonight. We just won't have the MSI and the shutdown issue fixed for the Wednesday build.

larsbergstrom on 19 Jul 2016

@larsbergstrom I am planning on finishing up (cherry pick) with #11969 on Friday. Then, I would be happy to assist on any other issues blocking Windows.

Coder206 on 19 Jul 2016

👍1

@Coder206 That sounds great! Once @metajack and I finish looking into & debugging the last remaining issues, the MSI will be up and we'd certainly appreciate having others look at it and help find other bugs before we announce / link it from the downloads page.

larsbergstrom on 19 Jul 2016

@larsbergstrom OK great! Looking forward to getting back into the action!

Coder206 on 19 Jul 2016

@larsbergstrom @metajack Happy debugging! :-)

Coder206 on 19 Jul 2016

Well, we _finally_ got the upload step working and have published something... but it's missing servo.exe, so not particularly useful :-/

I'll work on fixing it ASAP, and the following link should have something more useful tomorrow:
https://download.servo.org/nightly/windows/servo-latest.tar.gz

larsbergstrom on 20 Jul 2016

👍14 😄8 🎉6

As an update, @metajack has figured out a good solution to our font loading issues and should have some code to tack on to #12525 to have a tarball that works and does not hot spin at shutdown.

After that lands, we'll work more on getting a working MSI & manifest.

larsbergstrom on 22 Jul 2016

Thank you all so much for your hard work, I am looking very much forward to
testing the first Windows build!!!

Many thanks!

If the PR will land today, the nightly for tomorrow should include Windows!

The PR has landed. The next nightly build should include a Windows package.

@larsbergstrom @metajack Yay! Great work!

Coder206 on 27 Jul 2016

There is now a nightly build of Servo for Windows:
https://download.servo.org/nightly/windows/servo-latest.msi

I don't think we should announce _quite_ yet, as:

Startup is pretty slow
We still spin one CPU at shutdown
Keyboard input is dropped

BUT, the basic build & publishing infra and most major blockers are gone! Feel free to play with it and start opening bugs... but please don't announce widely, as the stuff above is a bit embarrassing :-)

larsbergstrom on 27 Jul 2016

Hello,

Awesome news but I'm afraid double clicking the servo-latest.msi doesn't
work in Windows 7. If I try to install it as an addon, there's a message
saying it won't install because it may be corrupt.
I would greatly appreciate your help as I can't wait to test this!!!!

Many thanks!

@gaby2300 I just downloaded it (after uninstalling the ones I made yesterday) and it installed and ran fine. Can you try downloading it again? The MD5 sum for servo-latest.msi on my machine is b2fdc1cf82d982cf5dcc2f5e9e161b08. Please compare yours as well.

metajack on 27 Jul 2016

@larsbergstrom Initial startup seems to be slow, but second run it seems normal. I'm not sure what it's doing on the first load that slows it down.

I could not reproduce either of the other two issues you mentioned. Can you file them with steps to reproduce?

metajack on 27 Jul 2016

@metajack Did you get the Servo icon working in this release?

Coder206 on 27 Jul 2016

Hi Jack, thanks for answering so quickly! I would need to know how to find
the MD5 sum you mention to check it. Thanks!

@gaby2300 Are you able to find the servo.exe.manifest file?

Coder206 on 27 Jul 2016

Hmm. The manifest specifically enables support for Windows 7. See https://github.com/servo/servo/blob/master/components/servo/servo.exe.manifest#L11

I'm not sure what else is required :(

metajack on 27 Jul 2016

Ah, I think I figured this out. We are missing the correct namespace for the tag.

metajack on 27 Jul 2016

@Coder206, Yes, but I cannot open it. I remember I once took out a file
from it's place to the Desktop, opened it with Note pad, erased something
and then I returned it to it's place. Do I have to do the same here and
delete server.exe.manifest?

Even after quitting the ui window servo consumes loads of memory (10GB+)

Once we get https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/12661, we should have a fix for the missing DLLs in the MSI. I'll push out a new nightly early once that happens :-)

So I've run Servo in win7 and i definitely get browser.html's new tab page and can go to different pages. Unfortunately, I'm running it in VMware, and there are some graphics glitches (the screen turns black after a while, but servo is still working) and it's impossible to know whether that is due to the VM or not. If I turn off graphics acceleration in VMware, then servo refuses to run at all.

I'm not sure how to further debug this :(

@vvuk @glennw is there something we can do on windows that is equivalent to our glxinfo stuff on linux that we've been using to diagnose opengl problems?

metajack on 5 Aug 2016

I tried again today in Windows 7. Besides having Windows compatibility
problems (apparently solved by Windows helper but not quite), the program
can't open because the libbluray-1.dll is missing in my machine

I would greatly appreciate some help!

There is now a nightly build of Servo for Windows:

What are the commands to build own .msi?

Trying nightly with the DLLs installed only shows blank gray screen. Hmm.

We can not and will not distribute libmp3lame, libx264, or libx265. There might be others in there that we also can not distribute. libxvidcore looks suspicious for example.

This whole chain of dependencies is being disabled in #12863 until we find a way to bundle a minimal set of ffmpeg dlls or detect and use them at runtime.

metajack on 18 Aug 2016

If legal stuff gets in the way of distributing those DLL files, then provide instructions for how/where to get them at least, please. (Almost) direct links to official websites are preferred.

I'd like to test servo, not fight with missing DLLs because of missing detection routines within servo.

Eagle3386 on 18 Aug 2016

@Eagle3386 Once #12863 lands and new nightlies are built, none of these will be needed.

We'll turn media metadata back on once we've figured out a way to distribute the correct set.

So, I'll have to wait for that then. 😢 Will subscribe to it and looking forward to its landing. 👍

Will there be a 32-bit build for older systems like Vista and XP where Chrome doesn't work anymore?

techtonik on 19 Aug 2016

Even after quitting the ui window servo consumes loads of memory (10GB+)

I believe #11307 - "Hot spinning on Windows shutdown" means when the program is closed, either by clicking the 'X' on the gui window, or shutting down windows (which may be when the issue was first discovered, hence the name). With the latest build on Windows 10 Home x64 with Anniversary Update on real hardware, after closing I get:
servo 19_08_2016 4_45_13 pm
I made a video of it running. If there are any tests I can run to provide more actionable info, please let me know. I'm happy to install a servo dev environment, if necessary.

elahn on 19 Aug 2016

@elahn Trying today's nightly does not show that behavior when closing servo after it completely loaded the start screen, but it still spins when closing servo before the complete load.

saschanaz on 19 Aug 2016

Thanks @SaschaNaz, a new build was released after I downloaded it. I'm in Australia (GMT+10). Looking at the MSI creation date, they're both 19/8/2016 11:29am. Is the "nightly" produced once per day, as the name implies, or after each CI build? If once daily, at what time does it run? (so I can be sure of getting the latest before commenting or filing issues)

elahn on 19 Aug 2016

@elahn I also have no idea, I just try downloading and compare installer size to see whether it's new. (I think you and I have the same build. Loading any web page except the start page causes the spin.)

Hi, I just installed the build from https://download.servo.org/nightly/windows/servo-latest.msi
Fortunately no incompatibilities.
It took several minutes to load a white window with a screenshot containing Servo related information. No way to open new tabs. Is this the expected? Thanks!

gaby2300 on 23 Aug 2016

It sounds like it loaded the servo homepage instead of browser.html. Anyone else having the same issue?

metajack on 23 Aug 2016

I think it may be so. The window's title is: http://servo.org/ - Servo

gaby2300 on 23 Aug 2016

No, I just installed the latest build and for me the behaviour is still the same as in this video, showing browser.html with most elements not rendered. (Win10)

elahn on 23 Aug 2016

@gaby2300 Inspect the properties of the servo shortcut and see what the command line arguments are. They should be -w --pref dom.mozbrowser.enabled --pref shell.builtin-key-shortcuts.enabled=false browserhtml\index.html. If that looks fine, please check that in the same dir as servo.exe there is a browserhtml folder with some HTML and JS and such in it.

metajack on 23 Aug 2016

@metajack The command line for the Servo shortcut seems to be: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Research\Servo Tech Demo\". I don't think it's what you asked for.
I don't have a folder named Servo, just a Servo Tech Demo one containing the Servo Tech Demo shortcut only.

gaby2300 on 23 Aug 2016

@metajack Please disregard the last part of my earlier post! There is a Sevo Tech Demo folder. It contains the servo.exe file and the browserhtml folder which has a index.html file, and 2 folders components and css
BTW, I run servo.exe again. This time I got a light grey window for a few seconds, then it displayed a white one with a lot of Servo related info and links for a few seconds, then it went white and empty. I am going to leave it open for a while and see if it changes.
Many thanks for your help!

gaby2300 on 23 Aug 2016

I don't think we'll be adding a 32bit build.

Is it because Rust is not that cross-platform in the end?

techtonik on 24 Aug 2016

I hope it's because Mozilla finally agrees that such old platforms must die.

x64 has so many advantages over its little brother that I can hardly imagine any scenario in which a 32 bit build would be sufficient nowadays, let a alone being better in any way.
Also, XP users (except those rare XP-64 users) would be finally forced to upgrade their Windows system in order to use Servo.

Eagle3386 on 24 Aug 2016

@techtonik @Eagle3386

Rust supports 32-bit Win7 as a Tier 1 (MinGW) or Tier 2 (MSVC) platform, so it's probably more "because it's a hassle to target Windows XP and Vista in an automated way and has low return on investment".

As I remember, that's a rough paraphrase of the reasons why Rust's XP targeting support is Tier 3.

ssokolow on 24 Aug 2016

❤1 🎉1 👍1

So, I was partly right - XP sucks and Servo won't support sucking technology. Well done, Mozilla! 👍

Eagle3386 on 24 Aug 2016

👎2 👍1

@ssokolow i686-pc-windows-msvc is tier 1. It is only i586 which is tier 2.

I'm pretty sure Servo already relies significantly on OS functionality which doesn't exist on XP, so I think that ship has sailed unless someone wants to put in the effort to make it all work on XP, which I doubt anyone is willing to do. Besides, as others have pointed out XP is not worth the cost of supporting.

retep998 on 24 Aug 2016

❤2 🎉1 👍1

@retep998 I'm looking at the platform support page for Rust and I see only three Tier 1 targets for Windows:

x86_64-pc-windows-msvc  ✓     ✓     ✓     64-bit MSVC (Windows 7+)
i686-pc-windows-gnu     ✓     ✓     ✓     32-bit MinGW (Windows 7+)
x86_64-pc-windows-gnu   ✓     ✓     ✓     64-bit MinGW (Windows 7+)

ssokolow on 24 Aug 2016

@ssokolow That disagrees with what I see in the rust book.

retep998 on 24 Aug 2016

@retep998 Huh. Yours is probably correct then.

ssokolow on 24 Aug 2016

Hi I tried to run the installer on Windows 10. The installer stop without any message. At this stage, is the installer expected to install servo correctly on Windows 10 (even it the program may have some problems at runtime). By the way is it possible to have a zip version ?

And, is it too soon to update the servo web page to include a link to the windows installer ?

codec-abc on 2 Sep 2016

As far as I can tell that is how MSI installation works. It installs and then disappears. You should check your start menu and see if it is in there. It should be Mozilla Research->Servo Tech Demo.

@larsbergstrom is there something I'm missing in the installer setup that would cause it to inform people that it finished successfully? Maybe I'm just not used to windows, but I also found this behavior surprising.

metajack on 2 Sep 2016

@metajack I think we need to add exitdlg.wxs to our candle.exe invocation, as here:
https://github.com/torakiki/pdfsam/blob/735703794d1b6274896620f1623cfdfb96ae3651/pdfsam-msi-installer/src/Build.cmd#L13

IIRC individual dialog steps are only added to the steps if they are included in the build steps. I can try this out when I'm back on Monday, too, if that would help :-)

larsbergstrom on 2 Sep 2016

@metajack @larsbergstrom Usually the installer let you select the directory where you want to install the software. And generally, they have a checkbox at the end of the installation process to know if you want to run the software right ahead.

Edit : Like you said the installer ran correctly, I just (wrongly) assumed it failed because it didn't tell everything was ok.

Just downloaded and installed. Running _servo.exe_ starts http://servo.org page, so in cmd i do so:

.\servo.exe .\browserhtml\index.html

to run browser.html
First what i noticed:

HIGH CPU usage, never been less than ~60%.
Memory: Startup(browser.html): [180 MB], any oppened page: [+120-220 MB] => ~300-500 in total.
My video driver crashed(i had to shutdown windows forcefully, screen became black(says no VGA)) 2 times after i was using Servo about 15~20 mins.
Most visited pages renders correctly.

Windows 10x64, GPU Nvidia GT-220(512 MB), CPU AMD 2x2.5GHz

Hope that would be helpful...

I tried running servo.exe again today, I got the same kind of windows as before.

Then I tried via cmd and I got a html browser. It didn't' work very well. It was extremely slow, even typing, sometimes the sites disappeared when I minimize it, others they didn't.
Site's links didn't work: I tried www.lanacion.com. When clicking on a link nothing happened, nor the pointer turned in to the usual hand.

gaby2300 on 4 Sep 2016

I finally managed to browse to one of the above's site link. I couldn't scroll up/down though because there were no scroll bars in the window.

gaby2300 on 4 Sep 2016

Hello.

I've been testing Servo on Windows10 a few times, and here's what I saw:

there seems to be a huge problem with handling the mouse pointer - just moving the mouse consumes lots of CPU. Same goes with clicking the mouse. It happens every time, and - surprisingly - even on blank parts of the New Tab page, where there's literally nothing under the pointer.
_To reproduce: just touch your mouse._
there is an exception from that - mouse scroll consumes virtually no resources and works fine. That is, if you focus real hard on not moving the pointer :)
I've also managed to reproduce the hot spinning issue after closing servo, but, after killing the process from the Task Manager, subsequent servo instances don't seem to cause the problem.
_To reproduce: start servo, close the window to cause hot spinning, kill it from the task manager, start servo again and close it_

Obviously, there are also the issues mentioned by others: slow startup time etc.

carnoxen on 11 Sep 2016

@carnoxen Maybe you should have posted a new issue for that, but you may try this guide: http://windowsreport.com/linux-gui-windows-10-bash/

saschanaz on 11 Sep 2016

@carnoxen linux on windows does not have a display component, unless you wire up an x server on windows to host it (there are guides) ... though you probably don't want to play with it. it's not linux on windows _yet_. they've got a ways to go when it comes to exposing linux kernel functionality. it's basically gnu and ubuntu _without linux_ on windows.
unless you build your own or use a windows snapshot build you should try this under linux proper, and then your bugs should be reported as separate to this issue.

@rwakulszowa ditto

Just opened #13257 for the blank white screen on Windows 10. Maybe it could be added to the checklist.

aochagavia on 13 Sep 2016

@aochagavia How much time did you wait before taking the screenshot ? I noticed that sometimes the rendering is quite slow to start.

codec-abc on 13 Sep 2016

@codec-abc I just tried again and waited for one or two minutes. Still, everything is white.

aochagavia on 13 Sep 2016

Today I downloaded from the same site as before. Running servo.exe resulted in the same as before.

Then I tried running index.html inside the Servo Tech Demo folder and I got a browser.html tab:
file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Research/Servo%20Tech%20Demo/browserhtml/index.html. It looked just as a Nightly browser.

While this time all worked as expected (I could open as many new tabs as I liked, normal speed, scroll bars present, links working), I'd like to know if this is the expected, that is if I am actually running a Servo browser. Thanks!

gaby2300 on 14 Sep 2016

Opening index.html will open it in your default browser, not Servo.

jdm on 14 Sep 2016

Many thanks for answering me so quickly @jdm!

Is the window titled Servo, the parallel browser engine I get when running servo.exe the actual servo one then? It loads a white window containing Servo related links in blue for a few seconds. Then is goes blank. No way to open new tabs. Is this the expected? Thanks!

gaby2300 on 14 Sep 2016

Not expected, no, but seems to be a common problem that other windows testers are experiencing.

jdm on 14 Sep 2016

The blank screen is caused by https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/13371 (font rendering not implemented). @larsbergstrom do you think we should add this issue to the checklist?

aochagavia on 23 Sep 2016

Is it possible to provide a zip archive of the Windows build? Thank you!

xianwenchen on 26 Sep 2016

@aochagavia I think it was blank for some people before that change, but yes. I'll add it.

metajack on 27 Sep 2016

@xianwenchen Do you mean a ZIP archive that packages up the files, or that compresses the MSI? We might be able to make one, but I'd prefer to point people at real installers instead of tarballs, except on platforms where installers require more work than we are currently willing to do (e.g., supporting a variety of linux distros).

larsbergstrom on 27 Sep 2016

Do you mean a ZIP archive that packages up the files, or that compresses the MSI?

I think, he meant zip all files, e.g. portable.

BladeMight on 27 Sep 2016

I hope we can provide both - zip versions are much easier for developers/testers to work with, without needing to do an install. They make it possible to have parallel versions available, do bisects, etc.

todays 2016-10-31 nightly crash right after startup on a windows7 professional x64

msi installer works and installs, and firing up the servo tech demo from e.g. via start menu entry, it loads and draws potentially the main servo window and I even see some kind of search area in the middle and the stilized menu bars on the upper right side I think, rest of the window is completely white, then window freezes and locks down and windows crashreporter appears and apphang error and reports to microsoft.

do we already make use of the windows/microsoft crashreporting and statistic collection for servo binary with a microsoft drwatson/crashreporter account and engine just yet? is anyone looking into these crashes? do windows crashreports and stats for them only work with signed binaries as huge bloat servo.exe 300megs doesnt come with a digital certificate and signature embedded in its binary.

Normally, you need to opt into unattended mode with a command-line switch. That's where the confusion would be coming in. (Normally, there's at least an "Installation complete" message box when not in unattended mode.)

That's right, sorry 😞. I looked for it in the Start menu, but Windows takes a couple of seconds to update it and I probably tried too soon. Guess it installs too fast 😄.

Well, it looks like this:

lnicola on 29 Nov 2016

It seems something went wrong the last time I installed it. Now I cannot
uninstall it. I would need to delete all the related files in the registry.
Could someone help me please? I would greatly appreciate it!

Fortunately I was able to uninstall it with CC Cleaner, as I wouldn't have
risked deleting so many entries in the registry in case I ruined my Windows

Unfortunately I am still getting a blank window that only opens for a few

gaby2300 on 29 Nov 2016

@gaby2300 well, maybe you should try installing Visual C++ 2015 x64 redist if not installed already. Or maybe CCleaner cleanered not enough...
Your @Maxim is wrong, it directed not to me, use @BladeMight to direct me.

BladeMight on 29 Nov 2016

@BladeMight, many thanks for your help!! Running CCleaner shows Servo Tech Demo again. Besides "Run uninstaller", which I did but seemed not to work, I get 2 other options: "Rename entry" and "Delete entry". Should I try uninstalling again and if it doesn't work then try one of the other 2?

gaby2300 on 29 Nov 2016

@gaby2300 deleting or renaming entry wont fix anything! Use Run uninstaller and say what is says.
Try deleting registry folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla Research
and then run msi again.
Also try right-click on servo-latest.msi and select uninstall/repair.

BladeMight on 29 Nov 2016

@BladeMight, I was able to delete it and I installed it again but no changes. Repairing doesn't change anything either.

gaby2300 on 30 Nov 2016

@gaby2300 Well, then I don't know why that happens, maybe someone from developers can answer this.

BladeMight on 30 Nov 2016

My Visual C++ 2015 x64 redist version is outdated, do you think updating it may solve the problem? If so, could you please tell me where should I download it from? Thanks!

gaby2300 on 30 Nov 2016

Just tested, servo runs OK for me even without any VC++ Redist. Windows 7 x64
@gaby2300 maybe there some other problem. Maybe that stupid question, but "Do you installed video drivers for your video card?"

BladeMight on 30 Nov 2016

@BladeMight I still have the same problem. Regarding the drivers for the video card, my video always works fine so I suppose I have.

gaby2300 on 30 Nov 2016

@gaby2300 Well, I have no other opinions why that happenig...

BladeMight on 30 Nov 2016

@gaby2300 According to whole posts I have a clue, that some missing(?) fonts may prevent from normal execute, try restoring your fonts from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YvRa2u58nI if you have win 7 or for win 10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhfHnL6Hgzo

Thanks. That worked. Well, my office uses SSL Inspection so I guess I'm still out of luck if I can't import its self-signed cert :/ oh well.

jawz101 on 6 Jan 2017

@jawz101 I don't actually understand what you mean :/ SSL? You mean you can't connecnt to SSL sites? Or browser even not starts(oh why would it)? See my post and try to run servo that way.

BladeMight on 6 Jan 2017

@BladeMight I think jawz101 is saying that their office uses an Internet gateway appliance which blocks traffic it can't MitM via a self-signed CA cert.

What he said^. MITM cert situation. It bugged me when they turned that on.

@zticky OK, here you go an extracted working version of Servo, build from 22.12.16. I also added servo-browserhtml.cmd which will start a browser html if running servo.exe did not.

BladeMight on 11 Jan 2017

Is it normal for text to look terrible?

lnicola on 14 Jan 2017

Yes; native text rendering was added in https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/14153 but it's known to yield poor results at the moment.

jdm on 14 Jan 2017

That should be largely fixed in webrender upstream - I don't know what

Once downloaded, how do I proceed?

Running servo-browserhtml.cmd opens a black window and the following
message shows up: "Windows cannot find the "servo" file. Make sure the name

I cannot find servo.exe to run. Do I have to install something else before,
aka the normal servo version?

Many thanks for your help!

No it is included in archive which you downloaded, you should just extract it in some folder and run servo.exe or servo-browserhtml.cmd, maybe there was problem with extract?(Or antivirus program)

BladeMight on 19 Jan 2017

Sorry but there is no servo.exe file included in the download.

I cannot extract it. The download I get is a winzip file but right clicking
no context menu shows up so no way to extract.

@UK992 - are we sure that's the latest? I just tried it out and am seeing that this version doesn't work with most of the links on the startup page:

servo_hackernews

servo_rust_webpage

servo_reddit

I also noticed this version will leave zombie processes around when you close the browser (though that may already be a known issue)

jonathandturner on 6 Feb 2017

I tried with the same version and it is worst on my side. I have the same problem as @jonathandturner and I have some huge memory leaks. For example, if I open HackerNews then servo start to use all the ram available making my computer unusable.

codec-abc on 6 Feb 2017

seeing same issues here, eating 3GB RAM, crashes randomly.

leeoniya on 6 Feb 2017

6GB RAM, used 1.4GB, running servo gives me message:

Servo window is black, memory used 3GB & cached 1.5GB during servo.exe runtime. btw which msvc runtime used to compile servo?

Also there is topic on answers.microsoft which talks about that error 2755, it may be helpful.

BladeMight on 26 Feb 2017

I had high hopes in servo but month after month I don't see any real progress on windows version. Nearly everything is broken since 6 months.
Why is that?

koboltzz on 8 Mar 2017

@koboltzz Because not enough developers out there seem to care about Windows. If you want to see progress on Windows support, maybe you could consider submitting some pull requests with improvements.

retep998 on 8 Mar 2017

I thought servo=mozilla=wantexistence=takefocusonwidleyusedOS=windows ?

koboltzz on 8 Mar 2017

Sure, but for many of them they only care out of necessity, and since Servo itself is not in Firefox, Mozilla isn't as concerned about how it works on Windows yet. They care more about the bits of Rust that are already in Firefox.

retep998 on 8 Mar 2017

it is rather baffling that mozilla-paid devs dont "care enough" about an OS with 90% market share. telling people they should shut up or contribute doesn't really begin to explain the current disposition towards not building a half-decent windows experience.

it reminds me a a bit of Firefox OS. There would have been droves of devs building on this platform if Mozilla didnt throw in the towel and refuse to build it out for high end devices. No dev wants to buy an off-brand low spec phone from europe or 3rd world countries just for the purpose of testing B2G on a device no one would bother using.

leeoniya on 8 Mar 2017

Servo is currently a tech demo, not-yet-alpha technology. We're working to make sure the platform works on desktop platforms, and of course Windows is one of those platforms. We're also working to ensure that it works on mobile as well. We, in fact, just hired someone to focus on the Android port. Ostensibly, I'm also tasked to help with the Windows work, but I'm still getting up to speed.

One of Mozilla's use of the Servo technology is in a more full-featured project: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Quantum That said, we're still hoping to stand up and polish all the major platforms.

jonathandturner on 8 Mar 2017

@koboltzz Can you describe what your problem is when running the current Windows nightly? Lately people have been running into varied success and failures with the Windows build.

@leeoniya AFAIK @retep998 is not a "mozilla-paid dev", and neither am I. Most of the work in Servo is done by volunteers like us, so it isn't too unreasonable to ask for contributions. I think you're exaggerating the tone here when you said "shut up or contribute".

KiChjang on 8 Mar 2017

👍4

First, thank you for your work on Servo. As someone who does a lot of open source work and has contributed to Firefox in the past, I'm the last one to complain about anything not being done. However, your statement that "Most of the work in Servo is done by volunteers" doesnt quite pan out, at least not for the past month: https://github.com/servo/servo/pulse/monthly

leeoniya on 8 Mar 2017

Note that all of the Servo tech in Quantum is almost entirely focused on Windows deployment. The first versions of WebRender to ship in Firefox will be Windows-only I believe. All of those pieces work just fine in Windows and have for a long time.

Please don't assume that because the Servo Tech Demo doesn't work reliably on Windows yet means that the Servo team doesn't care or that Mozilla doesn't care. There has been an enormous amount of effort put into the Windows side to make crash reporting work, debugging work, MSVC native builds work, and all the other pieces that you need for Rust on Windows and Servo tech in Firefox on Windows. Over the last 6 months we've added MSVC builds, stood up Windows CI for Servo and its dependencies, fixed all the bootstrapping, done tons of WebRender and other fixes, and created a new native font backend for Windows. The fact remains the tech demo is in the same sorry state pretty much in terms of user experience, but it's not the case that nothing has been done.

Most of the issues that remain are not fundamental ones, but often require some knowledge of Windows which almost no one in the Servo community has much of. It doesn't help that the debugging experience for Rust on Windows still isn't as good as the experience on macOS or Linux, which means investigating the problems is painful.

We're working on it, and we hope that once we have it working nicely and the development experience less painful, we'll get some community contributors who use Windows primarily to help us keep it moving forward.

metajack on 8 Mar 2017

👍10

@leeoniya Sure, paid contributors may individually have a higher commit count, but the aggregate of commits by volunteer contributors is at least comparable to the amount of the aggregate from Mozilla devs.

I do not wish to continue this conversation here. Should you have any more questions regarding this, please either find us on #servo at irc.mozilla.org or PM me directly.

KiChjang on 8 Mar 2017

@metajack I was not aware of the MSVC builds. Does that mean that we can compile and debug Servo and windows with only Visual Studio and Python as dependencies now ? About debugging, what are the options to debug on Windows?

@codec-abc - I was just playing around with the new VS 2017 Community edition last week. It seems to debug Servo pretty well out of the box.

I'm currently working on some improvements, so that, eg, you can see std structs like Vec and String a bit better, but it at least does let you step and set breakpoints and watches.
