In this post you can find an overview about the work happened in the Firefox Automation team during week 39 and 40.
Highlights
One of our goals for last quarter was to get locale testing enabled in Mozmill-CI for each and every supported locale of Firefox beta and release builds. So Cosmin investigated the timing and other possible side-effects, which could happen when you test about 90 locales across all platforms! The biggest change we had to do was for the retention policy of logs from executed builds due to disk space issues. Here we not only delete the logs after a maximum amount of builds, but also after 3 full days now. That gives us enough time for investigation of test failures. Once that was done we were able to enable the remaining 60 locales. For details of all the changes necessary, you can have a look at the mozmill-ci pushlog.
During those two weeks Henrik spent his time on finalizing the Mozmill update tests to support the new signed builds on OS X. Once that was done he also released the new mozmill-automation 2.0.8.1 package.
