Firefox Automation report – week 15/16 2014

In this post you can find an overview about the work happened in the Firefox Automation team during week 15 and 16.

Highlights

To be able to support the new update path for Firefox Beta users via a final release candidate on the beta channel, we had to update our update testruns with Mozmill in the mozmill-automation repository. Further we also had to add support for this update path in Mozmill CI. Cosmin spend his time on those patches, and finally we got those out and active. That means from now on our software update tests can handle Firefox X.0b9 -> Firefox X.0RC -> Firefox %X+1%.0b1 updates. More information can be found on bug 960781.

We also pushed some other updates for Mozmill-CI to our production system, which includes timestamps for the log output of the pulse listener, and the addition of the application name for the product to test. The latter was necessary for MetroFirefox. But even after we stopped support for it, we wanted to see it landed given that we could add other products more easily in the future.

Also Henrik pushed a change for Mozmill-CI, which removed support for running localized versions of Firefox Nightly builds. This was necessary so that our systems can be better utilized for those Aurora, and Beta builds – where actually most of the localization work is happening.
