## Upgrade `libcc` to a new Chromium
### Steps
1. Get the code and initialize the project:
- ```
$ git clone git@github.com:electron/libchromiumcontent.git
$ cd libchromiumcontent
$ ./script/bootstrap -v
```
2. Find the new beta/stable Chromium version from [OmahaProxy](https://omahaproxy.appspot.com/).
3. Put it into the `libchromiumcontent/VERSION` file, then run `$ ./script/update`

### 2. Find the new beta/stable Chromium version from [OmahaProxy](https://omahaproxy.appspot.com/).
### 3. Put it into the `libchromiumcontent/VERSION` file, then run `$ ./script/update`
- It will probably fail applying patches.
4. Fix `*.patch` files in the `/patches` and `/patches-mas` folders.
5. (Optional) Run a separate script to apply patches (`script/update` uses it internally):
- `$ ./script/apply-patches`
### 4. Fix `*.patch` files in the `/patches` and `/patches-mas` folders.
### 5. (Optional) Run a separate script to apply patches (`script/update` uses it internally):
```
$ ./script/apply-patches
```
- There is also another script `/script/patch.py` that could be more useful, check `--help` to learn how it works with `$ ./script/patch.py -h`
6. Run the build when all patches can be applied without errors
`$ ./script/build`
### 6. Run the build when all patches can be applied without errors
```
$ ./script/build
```
- If some patches are no longer compatible with the Chromium code, fix compilation errors.
7. When build succeeds, create a `dist` for Electron
### 7. When build succeeds, create a `dist` for Electron
`$ ./script/create-dist --no_zip`
- It will create `dist/main` folder in the root of the libcc repo, you will need it to build Electron.
8. (Optional) Update script contents if there are errors resultant of some files being removed or renamed. (`--no_zip` prevents script from create `dist` archives, you don't need them.)

## Update Electron Code
### Steps
1. Get the code:
### 1. Get the code:
```
$ git clone git@github.com:electron/electron.git
$ cd electron
```
### 2. If you already have libcc built on you machine in its own repo, you need to tell Electron explicitly to use it:
```
$ git clone git@github.com:electron/electron.git
$ cd electron
```
2. If you already have libcc built on you machine in its own repo, you need to tell Electron explicitly to use it:
- ```
$ ./script/bootstrap.py -v \
--libcc_source_path <libcc_folder>/src \
--libcc_shared_library_path <libcc_folder>/shared_library \
--libcc_static_library_path <libcc_folder>/static_library
```
- If you haven't yet built libcc but it's already supposed to be upgraded to a new Chromium, bootstrap Electron as usual
- `$ ./script/bootstrap.py -v`
- If you haven't yet built libcc but it's already supposed to be upgraded to a new Chromium, bootstrap Electron as usual
`$ ./script/bootstrap.py -v`
- Ensure that libcc submodule (`vendor/libchromiumcontent`) points to a right revision
3. Set CLANG_REVISION in` script/update-clang.sh` to match the version Chromium is using.
- Located in `electron/libchromiumcontent/src/tools/clang/scripts/update.py`

4. Checkout Chromium if you haven't already: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/{VERSION}/tools/clang/scripts/update.py

- (Replace the `{VERSION}` placeholder in the url above to the Chromium version libcc uses.)
5. Build Electron.
- Try to build Debug version first: `$ ./script/build.py -c D`
- You will need it to run tests
6. Fix compilation and linking errors
7. Ensure that Release build can be built too: `$ ./script/build.py -c R`

### 6. Fix compilation and linking errors
### 7. Ensure that Release build can be built too: `$ ./script/build.py -c R`
- Often the Release build will have different linking errors that you'll need to fix.
- Some compilation and linking errors are caused by missing source/object files in the libcc `dist`
8. Update `./script/create-dist` in the libcc repo, recreate a `dist`, and run Electron bootstrap script once again.

#### Tips for fixing compilation errors
### Tips for fixing compilation errors
- Fix build config errors first
- Fix fatal errors first, like missing files and errors related to compiler flags or defines
- Try to identify complex errors as soon as possible.

### Steps
If there are any compilation errors related to the Crashpad, it probably means you need to update the fork to a newer revision:
1. Clone Electron's fork of the Crashpad, add the main repo as another remote:
- ```$ git clone https://github.com/electron/crashpad && cd crashpad
### 1. Clone Electron's fork of the Crashpad, add the main repo as another remote:
```$ git clone https://github.com/electron/crashpad && cd crashpad
$ git remote add upstream https://chromium.googlesource.com/crashpad/crashpad/ && git fetch upstream
```
2. Find a revision Chromium uses in src/third_party/crashpad/README.chromium
3. Rebase the master branch to that REVISION
- `$ git rebase REVISION`
### 2. Find a revision Chromium uses in src/third_party/crashpad/README.chromium
### 3. Rebase the master branch to that REVISION
```
$ git rebase REVISION
```
- If there are nontrivial conflicts during rebase, consult with the commit's author.
4. Add a tag with the next Electron version to a top commit in the master branch
### 4. Add a tag with the next Electron version to a top commit in the master branch
- e.g. if current Electron version is `1.11.*`, then use tag `electron-1.12.0`, because it will be used in the next version.
5. Ensure Electron-specific commits in the master branch on GitHub are properly tagged
### 5. Ensure Electron-specific commits in the master branch on GitHub are properly tagged
- If they aren't, force push will make them orphans and they'll be lost.
6. Force push to Electron's crashpad fork.
7. Update `/vendor/crashpad` submodule in the Electron's upgrade branch to point to the updated crashpad.
