ReleaseEngineering/Mozharness/How to run tests as a developer

The main thing you need is to checkout mozharness and call it like on tbpl, however, you will need to use these options:

• --no-read-buildbot-configs (as you're running it without buildbot)
• --installer-url (The Firefox binaries)
• --test-url (The tests zip)

hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/build/mozharness scripts
# on Mac
/tools/buildbot/bin/python scripts/scripts/desktop_unittest.py --cfg unittests/mac_unittest.py --reftest-suite reftest --download-symbols ondemand --no-read-buildbot-config --installer-url http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-inbound-win32/1370616247/firefox-24.0a1.en-US.win32.zip --test-url http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-inbound-win32/1370616247/firefox-24.0a1.en-US.win32.tests.zip
# on Windows
c:/mozilla-build/python27/python -u scripts/scripts/desktop_unittest.py --cfg unittests/win_unittest.py --reftest-suite reftest --download-symbols ondemand --no-read-buildbot-config --installer-url http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-inbound-win32/1370616247/firefox-24.0a1.en-US.win32.zip --test-url http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-inbound-win32/1370616247/firefox-24.0a1.en-US.win32.tests.zip

• If you use the above commands, you don't need a buildprops.json. Otherwise you need to create a buildprops.json; this is output in the log of the test you're trying to replicate.
