== Testing everything == | |||
* '''Very important''': before testing, you need to make sure that telemetry is enabled (which it isn't for a local build). On a local build, you can use <code>export MOZ_TELEMETRY_REPORTING=1</code> in your mozconfig, or set '''toolkit.telemetry.enabled''' to true. | |||
* '''Also important''', if you built locally, your update channel will be ''default'', which probably won't match what you specified in your manifest. Add ''default'' to your experiment manifest or test with a correct nightly/aurora/beta build. | |||
To test things, you need to set up a number of prefs: | |||
** '''devtools.chrome.enabled = true''', in order for the Browser Console to show up | |||
** '''toolkit.telemetry.enabled = true''', telemetry must be enabled | |||
** '''experiments.manifest.uri = http://localhost:8080/firefox-manifest.json''', full path to your generated firefox-manifest.json | |||
** '''experiments.logging.enabled = true''', for logging | |||
** '''experiments.logging.level = 0''', more logging | |||
** '''extensions.logging.enabled = true''', even more logging from the Add-ons Manager | |||
== Testing on Beta == | |||
If you're testing on beta or release, you'll '''need''' to have the XPI signed, or rebuild beta to remove the requirement that experiments be signed, by [http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/internal/XPIProvider.jsm?rev=002d7897c93c#240 removing this line]. | |||
