Added summary of how firefox-ui-tests work. This will be heavily leveraged by firefox-media-tests.

''or: How does this stuff get called anyway?'' | |||
jenkins job | |||
* mozmill-ci:jenkins-master/jobs/scripts/workspace/runtest.py | |||
** Adds/verifies command-line arguments that are specific to functional vs. update tests. | |||
* mozilla-central:testing/mozharness/scripts/firefox_uit_tests/functional.py | |||
** listed in mozmill-ci:jenkins-master/jobs/scripts/workspace/config.py | |||
** mozharness config file is mozilla-central:testing/mozharness/configs/firefox_ui_tests/qa_jenkins.py | |||
** Appends elements to the path. Thin shim for firefox_ui_tests.py. | |||
* mozilla-central:testing/mozharness/mozharness/mozilla/testing/firefox_ui_tests.py | |||
** This is the real mozharness script. Sets up the actions to be performed. | |||
*** clobber | |||
*** checkout | |||
*** create-virtualenv | |||
*** query_minidump_stackwalk | |||
*** run-tests | |||
*** Logging | |||
* venv:firefox_ui_harness.py | |||
** Exe wrapper for firefox-ui-tests:firefox_ui_harness/runtest.py | |||
** This is the real interface into the firefox-ui-tests. | |||
* firefox-ui-tests:firefox_ui_harness/runtest.py | |||
** Installs firefox before tests are run (as part of processing args). | |||
** Uninstalls firefox after tests are done. | |||
** https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1227571 and https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-ui-tests/pull/291 will make most of this file go away. Open question about the remaining method. | |||
* firefox-uitests:firefox-ui-tests/base.py | |||
** The real test runner. | |||
* All mozmill-ci files are in https://github.com/mozilla/mozmill-ci.git, which is what is used for the Jenkins configuration. | |||
* All mozilla-central files live in https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central, but the entire testing/mozharness directory is retrieved with the jenkins job get_mozharness, and copied into the job workspace with a Copy Workspace build step. This job does not clone any part of mozilla-central. | |||
* All firefox-ui-test files live in https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-ui-tests.git. This is cloned by the mozharness scripts themselves, rather than by Jenkins. | |||
* The venv reference is generated by the mozharness script. | |||
So mozmill-ci:runtest.py runs mozilla-central:functional.py which runs mozilla-central:firefox_ui_tests.py which runs firefox_ui_harness.py from venv (generated from firefox-ui-tests:runtest.py) which invokes firefox-ui-tests:base.py. | |||
