Sam Freund 798b01c3a6 Copy old configs before testing (#2348)
## Description

Presently, any tests using our old configs happen in place. This is
problematic, as it changes the files themselves. This means that anyone
running the tests will cause unintentional modifications, which stand a
chance of being committed and merged into main. We want these old
database files to remain untouched, thus we copy them to a temp
directory prior to running our tests.

## Meta

Merge checklist:
- [x] Pull Request title is [short, imperative
summary](https://cbea.ms/git-commit/) of proposed changes
- [x] The description documents the _what_ and _why_, including events
that led to this PR
- [ ] If this PR changes behavior or adds a feature, user documentation
is updated
- [ ] If this PR touches photon-serde, all messages have been
regenerated and hashes have not changed unexpectedly
- [ ] If this PR touches configuration, this is backwards compatible
with all settings going back to the previous seasons's last release
(seasons end after champs ends)
- [ ] If this PR touches pipeline settings or anything related to data
exchange, the frontend typing is updated
- [ ] If this PR addresses a bug, a regression test for it is added

Building

Gradle is used for all C++ and Java code, and pnpm is used for the web UI. Instructions to compile PhotonVision yourself can be found in our docs.

You can run one of the many built in examples straight from the command line, too! They contain a fully featured robot project, and some include simulation support. The projects can be found inside the photonlib-java-examples and photonlib-cpp-examples subdirectories, respectively. Instructions for running these examples directly from the repo are found in the docs.

Gradle Arguments

Note that these are case sensitive!

  • -PArchOverride=foobar: builds for a target system other than your current architecture. Valid overrides are:
    • winx64
    • winarm64
    • macx64
    • macarm64
    • linuxx64
    • linuxarm64
    • linuxathena
  • -PtgtIP: Specifies where ./gradlew deploy should try to copy the fat JAR to
  • -PtgtUser: Specifies custom username for ./gradlew deploy to SSH into
  • -PtgtPw: Specifies custom password for ./gradlew deploy to SSH into
  • -Pprofile: enables JVM profiling
  • -PwithSanitizers: On Linux, enables -fsanitize=address,undefined,leak

If you're cross-compiling, you'll need the WPILib toolchain installed. This must be done via Gradle: for example ./gradlew installArm64Toolchain or ./gradlew installRoboRioToolchain

Out-of-Source Dependencies

PhotonVision uses the following additional out-of-source repositories for building code.
