Bundles

Bundles are GN group labels that provide common major groups of features. They can be included into one of the dependency sets.

When using the fx set command, bundles are most commonly added to the universe dependency set by use of the --with flag. See fx build configuration for more information.

More information on the currently available bundles can be found in //bundles.

Key bundles

• tools contains a broad array of the most common developer tools. This includes tools for spawning components from command-line shells, tools for reconfiguring and testing networks, making http requests, debugging programs, changing audio volume, and so on.
• tests causes all test programs to be built. Most test programs can be invoked using run-test-suite on the device, or via fx test.
• buildbot/* are the bundles of software included in Fuchsia's infrastructure bot runs. These are useful to include in build configuration if you're trying to reproduce how Fuchsia's infrastructure builds or runs tests.
• kitchen_sink is a target that causes many (not all) other build targets to be included. It was created when Fuchsia had many fewer build configurations and supported boards, and was intended to be all software available in the source tree. This is no longer feasible, and so its usefulness as a catch-all is limited. It should not be considered maintained, but is being left in the tree for now to avoid breaking existing workflows. Note that kitchen sink will produce more than 20GB of build artifacts and requires at least 2GB of storage on the target device (size estimates from Q1/2019).
