Currently we run all benchmark perf tests in CircleCI. Since we do not collect any results, we unnecessarily waste CI/RBE resources. Instead, we should just not run benchmark perf tests in CI, but still run the functionality e2e tests which ensure that benchmarks are not broken. We can do this by splitting the perf and e2e tests into separate files/targets. PR Close #34753
How to run the benchmarks locally
Run in the browser
yarn bazel run modules/benchmarks/src/tree/{name}:devserver
# e.g. "ng2" tree benchmark:
yarn bazel run modules/benchmarks/src/tree/ng2:devserver
Run e2e tests
# Run e2e tests of individual applications:
yarn bazel test modules/benchmarks/src/tree/ng2/...
# Run all e2e tests:
yarn bazel test modules/benchmarks/...
Use of *_aot.ts files
The *_aot.ts
files are used as entry-points within Google to run the benchmark
tests. These are still built as part of the corresponding ng_module
rule.
