How to set up Talos for testing at home
Prerequisites
- Python 2.5
- Pyyaml
- PyWin32 Extensions (if this is to be run on a windows box)
- Standalone V1.9
- Nightly firefox builds (grab the appropriate type for your OS)
[dmandelin] When I installed PyWin32 the installer put things in my Windows installation of Python, not my mozilla-build copy. I copied the PyWin32 files from the one site-packages directory to the other and it worked.
Set Up
- unzip standaloneV1_9.zip
- unzip/install your nightly firefox build
- in the talos directory
- edit sample.config, change the path to firefox to be the appropriate path to the firefox executable of the nightly build that you just installed
Seriously, really use the command-line unzip instead of the Ubuntu GUI Archive Manager. The latter doesn't extract the archive properly.
Testing
- in the talos directory run 'python run_tests.py sample.config'
- for more ouput run 'python run_tests.py --noisy sample.config'
- for debug output run 'python run_tests.py --debug sample.config'
- to dump all results directly to stdout run 'python run_tests.py --screen sample.config'
Results
- results from all the tests should be found in talos/output directory.
(On a MacBook Pro, the default test configuration takes about 35 minutes to run with a nightly Firefox 3 build.)
N900 notes
- Python does not get installed on your N900 by default.
- Add "deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ freemantle free non-free" to your /etc/apt/sources.list file
- "apt-get upgrade"
- "apt-get install python"
- You will need to download Pyyaml and run "python setup.py install"
