Command Line / External Tools for Apps

People

   WebIDE issues pre-push hook to call scripts

   Could have file to list the command

   Cordova and other CLI tools can call WebIDE capabilities like app push, debug, etc

   Could do validation / submission via WebIDE

   Interest in CLI tools too for CI, etc., but not primary need

   Possibly extend WebIDE's app actions through Node modules or similar

ffdb.py (Emscripten: Jukka Jylänki)
- Push apps to simulator or device
- Various other utils: memory, prefs, etc.
- No interaction with WebIDE
- Python, self-contained
WebIDE CLI (DevTools: Paul Rouget)
- Blocked for now: Does not work on Mac (bug 1020739)
- Open apps in WebIDE
- Push apps to simulator or device
- Debug apps on simulator or device
- Part of Firefox / WebIDE binary
Cordova FxOS support (Apps Engineering: Rodrigo Silveira)
- Adds support to Cordova for FxOS APIs
- Short term goal: Push apps to simulator or device
- Long term goal: Debug apps via WebIDE
- Node.js
firefox-webapp (Marketplace: Christopher Van)
- Manifest validation
- Future goal: Submission to Marketplace
- Node.js
firefox-client (DevTools: Heather Arthur, Alex Poirot)
- Connect to DevTools servers, like b2g devices or simulators
- Generic tool, not specific to apps
- Node.js
python-fxdevtools (DevTools: Dave Camp)
- Same as firefox-client above, but in Python
recroom (Apps Engineering: Matt MacPherson)
- Leveraging grunt and other node tools (yeoman)
  - AppManager / WebIDE could look at grunt file and display tasks (ala xcode)
- Looking to consume, not write another toolchain
- Some API from WebIDE build apps for deploying
- push to simulator, push to device
- maybe even publish to Marketplace
- "standard" workflow elements that WebIDE provides
marionette (QA)
- Uses same transport-layer code from DevTools, otherwise unrelated to DT
- Various testing frameworks use this to connect to devices, etc.
