[format] Convert invalid whitespace to space when loading for format I've been forced to edit a lot of Go code recently where tabs are much loved, and my Vim occasionally gets horked and sneaks tabs into my .gn files. After that, running `gn format` on the BUILD.gn complains about ERROR at //.../BUILD.gn:5:1: Invalid token. sources = [ ^ You got a tab character in here. Tabs are evil. Convert to spaces. It just seems petty to make me manually replace them! So only when parsing for format purposes, silently transform tabs (and since we're here vertical tabs and form feeds too) to spaces outside of quoted strings. Maintain the error in normal operation though.

GN is a meta-build system that generates build files for Ninja.
Related resources:
You can download the latest version of GN binary for Linux, macOS and Windows.
Alternatively, you can build GN from source:
git clone https://gn.googlesource.com/gn cd gn python build/gen.py ninja -C out # To run tests: out/gn_unittests
On Windows, it is expected that cl.exe
, link.exe
, and lib.exe
can be found in PATH
, so you'll want to run from a Visual Studio command prompt, or similar.
On Linux and Mac, the default compiler is clang++
, a recent version is expected to be found in PATH
. This can be overridden by setting CC
, CXX
, and AR
.
There is a simple example in examples/simple_build directory that is a good place to get started with the minimal configuration.
For a maximal configuration see the Chromium setup:
and the Fuchsia setup:
If you find a bug, you can see if it is known or report it in the bug database.
GN uses Gerrit for code review. The short version of how to patch is:
Register at https://gn-review.googlesource.com. ... edit code ... ninja -C out && out/gn_unittests
Then, to upload a change for review:
git commit git cl upload --gerrit
When revising a change, use:
git commit --amend git cl upload --gerrit
which will add the new changes to the existing code review, rather than creating a new one.
