Sync Perf and Screenshot Demo

Sync Performance

Just a little proof of concept in hopes it can spark other tooling projects.

Problem: about:sync-tabs sometimes is blank. Why?

Solution: Let's use a Command Line sync client to fetch data, then graph it over time.

Detail:

• Use https://github.com/edmoz/fxa-sync-client
  • bin/sync-cli.js -e EMAILl -p <pw> -t fxa.test.acct@restmail.net
• run this on a jenkins instance at some interval
• Send total time to firebase cloud data store so we don't have to install anything or write db code.
• create an html page that uses a library to fetch firebase json output.

Problem: We translate into a lot of different languages. Let's display them in a tableau or single view for quick verification. It needs to be simple because I'm lazy.

Solution: Use phantom.js/slimer.js on jenkins

• phantom and slimer are headless (for the most part) implementations of webkit and gecko. Let's run simple script on jenkins and capture screen shots and output.

Details:

• sample script: https://github.com/edmoz/services-tools/blob/master/fxa-l18n/page-scrape/loadSignin.js
• run it on jenkins for each language - need to use xvfb for slimer since it needs virtual frame buffer
  • It also prints out strings: jenkins console

• copy screen shots to web server and a html page to display them:

  • for extra credit, let's diff dev against prod servers using image magick: diff dev vs prod
    • the script: imageMagick script
