The try server is an easy way to test a patch on all 3 platforms without committing to a repository. You need an LDAP and CVS account to access it.
 
Here's how to use it:
# Upload your patch through the web interface [https://build.mozilla.org/sendchange.cgi here] (use your LDAP username and password)
# Watch for your results on [http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=MozillaTry Tinderbox]. Depending on whether you submitted a patch or a set of HG repositories you will be looking for "Try server ..." or "Try server ... hg ...".
# Retrieve your completed builds from [https://build.mozilla.org/tryserver-builds/?C=M;O=D here]. Look for the directory with your name, identifier, and time of submission in it's name. It will have all of your builds in it.
 
Alternatively, for patches to mozilla-central, you can ''push to try'':
 
hg push -f ssh://hg.mozilla.org/try/
 
* If you're using Mercurial queues, this push command pushes any patches that are currently applied, and the Try server will build the result. (This is an awesome feature, not a bug!)
* You don’t need to clone or pull from the <code>try</code> repo, and you probably don’t want to. You’d get every half-baked changeset anybody ever tested.
 
See [http://blog.mozilla.com/jorendorff/2008/08/18/push-to-try/ Jorendorff's blog] for more details.
 
==== What Gets Tried ====
 
The Try server currently reports on the following trees:
 
* <b>hg</b>: The [http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ Mozilla-Central Mercurial Repository].
 
* <b>CVS</b>: The [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla_Source_Code_(CVS) Mozilla 1.9 (Firefox 3.0) CVS Repository].  This is used for security releases; active development takes place in Mercurial.

==== Notes on creating patches ====
 
* If your patch does not apply cleanly, the build fails.
* Make sure you do a 'cvs update' before 'cvs diff' to ensure your patch will apply cleanly.
* For CVS patches,
** The patch directory is mozilla/. so make sure to create your patches from inside this directory only or else they won't apply.
* For Mercurial patches,
** Any patches created with 'hg diff' or 'hg qdiff' *must* be submitted with a patch level of 1!
* The files mozilla/configure and mozilla/nsprpub/configure are deleted (to be regenerated) before your patch is applied. Do not try to patch these files or the patch will fail to apply (patch configure.in instead).
* Only Firefox patches can be tested at this time.
 
==== Other Notes ====
* Patches and finished builds will be deleted after 30 days.
* If you have any problems please send mail to [mailto:build@mozilla.org build@mozilla.org]
* Your patch may not be tested right away.
* For the moment, the test is whether current trunk+patch (or HG repos) compiles on all three platforms. It's hoped to add the other tinderbox tests later.
* To pull with a specific timestamp, upload a mozconfig file and set [[mdc:Mozilla Source Code Via CVS#Specific Time|MOZ_CO_DATE]].
* Windows builds have symbols uploaded to http://build.mozilla.org/tryserver-symbols. Windbg and the Visual Studio debugger may use them to help debug crashing try server builds. Instructions for setting this up can be found here: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Using_the_Mozilla_symbol_server. Make sure you use the aforementioned URL instead of http://symbols.mozilla.org/firefox.
 
* Suggestions for the future can be made [[Build:TryServer:Suggestions|here]]
