I tried to follow the instructions on the bot page, but I'm unable to download the files on my win10 box.

python isolateserver.py download -I https://isolateserver.appspot.com --namespace default-gzip -s 4733816f48d584ba233966163127b88dec0e68b4 --target foo


I'm a bit overwhelmed by the raw bot output, I miss the information we usually find on the V8 bots:
- what gn args were used to build chrome
- what is the command to run the tests (I don't see where (run_telemetry_as_googletest.py would get the chrome binary from)


As a V8 engineer I'm used to running such tests locally and instrument the binary. Not sure what the way is or what the output is I miss, but it would be nice to maybe have this more prominently listed somewhere.

#3:
The command to run the test is in the log:
Command: c:\infra-system\bin\python.exe ..\..\testing\scripts\run_telemetry_as_googletest.py ../../tools/perf/run_tests -v --isolated-script-test-output=e:\b\s\w\iol9ln4b\output.json --isolated-script-test-perf-output=e:\b\s\w\iol9ln4b\perftest-output.json


+Ben Pastene for the issue about downloading the isolate offline. 

"python isolateserver.py download -I https://isolateserver.appspot.com --namespace default-gzip -s 4733816f48d584ba233966163127b88dec0e68b4 --target foo" should work. What was the output that you saw?

Here's the build where it failed:
https://ci.chromium.org/buildbot/tryserver.chromium.win/win_chromium_dbg_ng/2690

Here's that build's gn args:

Re #3: I have the same problem. I am currently waiting on my Windows machine to be reimaged.

The bots are very, very chatty.

The instructions regarding for reproing are also not very clear or correct. I had similar problems yesterday when trying to repro another problem with the perf unit tests. 

@Ned: With whom do we need to talk to in order to get the workflow for reproductions streamlined?

1st step: you should be able to fetch the isolate to you local machine with the command in the swarming log:

python swarming.py collect -S chromium-swarm.appspot.com --task-output-dir=foo 3a513ffbb2b74110

swarming.py is located in //src/tools/swarming_client/swarming.py

2nd step:
Once you fetched those file in the foo directory, go to the directory & run the test command from there:

./tools/perf/run_tests --browser=debug speedometer2-future 

Let me know if you have any problem following those 2 steps. Please post the results of your console log if the command fails.
