Meeting Notes

• mozrunner discussion
  • runner object owns a process which corresponds to system under test
  • makes sense for desktop, not remote/b2g (process corresponds to adb process instead of gecko process)
  • move context out of mozrunner and into mozdevice?
    • [ahal] will file a bug
• structured log update
  • https://etherpad.mozilla.org/logging-status
  • Chris working on profiling - for xpcshell it's probably javascript's fault
  • [wlach] how stable is the api?
    • few issues, gone through some iterations
    • main question is "tests" implemented in the harness (e.g leak checking, assertions)
  • mozharness regex - how to get rid of it?
    • complications (duh)
    • [ahal] to help out
• crash reporting in marionette testrunner
  • [davehunt] dumping crashes to device requires delay after starting b2g (30s) and after crash (10s)
    • ted or dhylands may know about the crash dumping
    • will raise bugs and CC/needinfo people
• mozdevice split
  • use adb.py?
    • still some uncommitted patches missing
    • can be used with a bit of finagling
    • use new one if you can
