Mozbase on Mozilla Central

The test harnesses on mozilla-central should make use of mozbase: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Auto-tools/Projects/Mozbase

This text is a road map for the initial phase of getting testing on mozilla-central to make use of mozbase. More issues will come up in tackling this initial workload which should be tracked: both in terms of m-c integration and in mozbase bugs and enhancements. Likewise, once these problems are solved vistas will be open to make testing better that will extend the roadmap.


Building blocks

A lot of work has already been done to make this possible


Course of Action

See bug 775756 for the tracking bug

  • move some subset of our python to a top level directory bug 775243
  • move everything that rolls its own json de/serializer to use simplejson: bug 769849
    • we need to figure out *all* the places that we do this and fix them

Other considerations

We should have an automated way of mirroring between m-c and github: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722451 Not a blocker to any of the above strictly but something to keep in mind

Mozbase on Mozilla-central, Next

There are several exciting things we can do once the harnesses are on mozbase:

  • adding manifestparser to mochitest: bug 563724
  • add the ability to output failed (or whatever) results to a manifest so that they can be tried again
  • once moztest is finished, the various harnesses should be able to output in whatever format they want
