MozillaQualityAssurance:Update Checker

Firefox and Thunderbird Software Update Checker Test

• Developer: Dave Liebreich
• Maintainer: Robert Helmer
• Currently Runs: automated on release machines. Will be converted to running automatically on Buildbot in the near future

This test executes the following steps for all the locales listed in all-locales (+en-US):

1. get update.xml from aus2 using the same url that Firefox 1.5.0.3 on linux would use
2. check the bouncer redirect for both the partial and complete updates. Take the redirected location (e.g. http://ftp-mozilla.netscape.com/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.5.0.4/update/mac/en-US/firefox-1.5.0.3-1.5.0.4.partial.mar) and convert it to a path in a local mirror copy of stage (~/tmp/stage.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.5.0.4/update/mac/en-US/firefox-1.5.0.3-1.5.0.4.partial.mar)
3. check that the mar files have the right size and that the hash matches
4. install 1.5.0.3 and 1.5.0.4 in separate directories
5. using the partial mar and the 1.5.0.3 updater application, update the 1.5.0.3 installation
6. compare the result with the 1.5.0.4 install. complain if there are any differences other than the comment in channel-prefs.js
7. repeat 5 and 6 using the complete mar instead of the partial mar.

There are a few additional modes: Usage: verify.sh [OPTION] [CONFIG_FILE]

   -u, --update-only      only download update.xml
   -t, --test-only        only test that MARs exist
   -m, --mars-only        only test MARs
   -c, --complete         complete upgrade test

--test-only is the fastest, it:

1. gets the MAR URL from AUS update.xml
2. does an HTTP HEAD and follows any redirects (e.g. bouncer)

This proves at least that AUS and bouncer are configured correctly.

Here's the output from a typical run:
