23 | 24 |
24 ### Runner | |
25 | |
26 `mojo_run` allows you to run a Mojo shell either on the host, or on an attached | |
27 Android device. | |
28 | |
29 ```sh | |
30 mojo_run APP_URL # Run on the host. | |
31 mojo_run APP_URL --android # Run on Android device. | |
32 mojo_run "APP_URL APP_ARGUMENTS" # Run an app with startup arguments | |
33 ``` | |
34 | |
35 Unless running within a Mojo checkout, we need to indicate the path to the shell | |
36 binary: | |
37 | |
38 ```sh | |
39 mojo_run --shell-path path/to/shell/binary APP_URL | |
40 ``` | |
41 | |
42 Some applications are meant to be run embedded in a **window manager**. To run | |
43 these, you can pass the app url using the `--embed` flag. This will run the | |
44 window manager and pass the given url to it: | |
45 | |
46 ```sh | |
47 mojo_run --embed APP_URL [--android] | |
48 ``` | |
49 | |
50 By default, `mojo_run` uses https://core.mojoapps.io/kiosk_wm.mojo as the window | |
51 manager. You can pass a different window manager url using the | |
52 `--window-manager` flag to override this. | |
53 | |
54 ### Debugger | |
55 | |
56 `mojo_debug` allows you to interactively inspect a running shell, collect | |
57 performance traces and attach a gdb debugger. | |
58 | |
59 #### Tracing | |
60 [Performance | |
61 traces](https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/trace-event-profiling-tool) | |
62 can either be collected by Mojo Shell during its startup, or collected | |
63 interactively by `mojo_debug`. | |
64 | |
65 To trace the Mojo Shell startup, use the `--trace-startup` flag: | |
66 | |
67 ```sh | |
68 mojo_run --trace-startup APP_URL [--android] | |
69 ``` | |
70 | |
71 In order to collect traces interactively through `mojo_debug`, make sure that | |
72 the app being inspected was run with `--debugger` switch. E.g.: | |
73 | |
74 ```sh | |
75 mojo_run --debugger APP_URL [--android] | |
76 ``` | |
77 | |
78 While Mojo Shell is running, tracing can be started and stopped by these two | |
79 commands respectively: | |
80 | |
81 ```sh | |
82 mojo_debug tracing start | |
83 mojo_debug tracing stop [result.json] | |
84 ``` | |
85 | |
86 Trace files can be then loaded using the trace viewer in Chrome available at | |
87 `about://tracing`. | |
88 | |
89 #### GDB | |
90 It is possible to inspect a Mojo Shell process using GDB. The `mojo_debug` | |
91 script can be used to launch GDB and attach it to a running shell process | |
92 (android only): | |
93 | |
94 ```sh | |
95 mojo_debug gdb attach | |
96 ``` | |
97 | |
98 Once started, GDB will first stop the Mojo Shell execution, then load symbols | |
99 from loaded Mojo applications. Please note that this initial step can take some | |
100 time (up to several minutes in the worst case). | |
101 | |
102 After each execution pause, GDB will update the set of loaded symbols based on | |
103 the selected thread only. If you need symbols for all threads, use the | |
104 `update-symbols` GDB command: | |
105 ```sh | |
106 (gdb) update-symbols | |
107 ``` | |
108 | |
109 If you only want to update symbols for the current selected thread (for example, | |
110 after changing threads), use the `current` option: | |
111 ```sh | |
112 (gdb) update-symbols current | |
113 ``` | |
114 | |
115 If you want to debug the startup of your application, you can pass | |
116 `--wait-for-debugger` to `mojo_run` to have the Mojo Shell stop and wait to be | |
117 attached by `gdb` before continuing. | |
118 | |
119 #### Android crash stacks | |
120 When Mojo shell crashes on Android ("Unfortunately, Mojo shell has stopped.") | |
121 due to a crash in native code, `mojo_debug` can be used to find and symbolize | |
122 the stack trace present in the device log: | |
123 | |
124 ```sh | |
125 mojo_debug device stack | |
126 ``` | |
