Development Thread Dolphin Bisection Tool for finding broken builds

[Dwedit]

I saw the program throwing an exception if a Windows Build for a particular revision was missing. It downloads a 0 byte file, then throws an exception trying to extract it.

Also a suggestion: Update the values in the combo boxes as the tool runs, so if the program fails for some reason, you don't lose progress in your bug search.

good idea.

Also, yeah. Known issue. Just need to put in a workaround when you hit those builds.

I might get to that this weekend if I can find the motivation. I'll log your feature request as an enhancement on the tracker.

DBT 1.1.3 released https://github.com/Helios747/DolphinBisectTool/releases/tag/v1.1.3

* DBT should stop crashing when it tries to download a build that buildbot hasn't built a windows release for

Known issues:

* Progress label doesn't update correctly when extracting Dolphin

To use:

Create a blank folder somewhere you have write access, extract the contents of the zip file below to that new folder, run DolphinBisectTool.exe

DBT 1.2 released! https://github.com/Helios747/DolphinBisectTool/releases/tag/v1.2

* Implemented a logger! Now DBT will create a timestamped log file in the same folder as the executable with each bisect session and will include the good/bad builds selected, as well as any skipped builds.

To use:

Create a blank folder somewhere you have write access, extract the contents of the zip file below to that new folder, run DolphinBisectTool.exe

DBT 1.2.1 released https://github.com/Helios747/DolphinBisectTool/releases/tag/v1.2.1


* Fixed running newer Dolphin builds after the Qt switch.

To use:

Am I crazy or you only provided a link to the source code, and not the actual compiled program? I can't find where to download the 1.2.1 build.

There are builds for older versions, but not for 1.2.1.

[Helios]

LOL I forgot to upload the binary WOW.


Fixed.

Is there any chance you can add an option in the program to automatically create a portable.txt file so that old Dolphin buiids doesn't mess around with my actual config files and NAND while bisecting? You could even make another option to automatically move the user folder between versions while bisecting

Yeah. That's been on my TODO list for ages. I'll bump it to the top of the list next time I find motivation to sit down and work on the refactor for this tool

Hi, the tool is not working anymore. I get "error extracting, probably a missing build" every single time.
