Mozmill 1.5.22 and 2.0rc5 released

By Admin

As of today we can announce a double release of Mozmill versions. While for Mozmill 1.5 it might hopefully be the last update, our final Mozmill 2.0 release is coming really close. The now released RC5 should be the last release candidate. Mozmill 1.5.22 Another update of Mozmill on our 1.5 branch was necessary given that the Thunderbird folks detected a memory leak (bug 876399) in our module loading code via a sandbox. This is now fixed and different tests no longer share global objects anymore. Beside that the followingContinue readingMozmill 1.5.22 and 2.0rc5 released

Automation Development report – week 34 2013

By Admin

Last week was a really productive week, when we look over the accomplished tasks. Across different test frameworks and tools we got a lot done. Especially the mozdownload project raises interests by even more people, who want to help with their own contribution. Thank you all who were involved! Highlights To appreciate all the hard work done by Johannes Vogel on the mozdownload project we promoted him to the reviewer status. With this recognition he is now able to help us driving this project forward with a faster pace byContinue readingAutomation Development report – week 34 2013

By Admin

Woot!!1! MozCamp EU 2012 is approaching really fast. Only two days left until a couple of hundred supporters of Mozilla will meet in Warsaw to plan and work on the future of the open web. It’s exciting to be part of it and to see you all again! My task together with Rob Wood – we both are from the Automation Development team – will be a hacking session about WebAPI test automation. WebAPI’s are a crucial part of the Firefox OS (B2G) initiative, Mozilla is putting a lot ofContinue readingJoin our “Make sure your code works” session @MozCamp

MozInstall 1.0 released

By Admin

A crucial part of test automation is the fact that you can install and uninstall the application under test. While the installer part for Gecko based applications was already included in MozInstall we missed the uninstaller feature. I have added this feature now for the 1.0 release. On Windows it will first try to run the Firefox uninstaller in silent mode to remove any trace even from the registry. If files remain or if you are on another platform the specified folder will just be wiped out. This work isContinue readingMozInstall 1.0 released

Mozmill 1.5.12 released

By Admin

Something we have learned over the weekend was: Never say never. After we have released the 1.5.11 release of Mozmill on April 19th, we were sure to not have to ship any other release off this branch. We want to concentrate our work on Mozmill 2.0 and get it out as soon as possible. But things can change, and sometimes faster as expected. So by last Friday (it was already late in the evening) Mike Conley contacted me on IRC and mentioned that Mozmill will be broken starting with tomorrowsContinue readingMozmill 1.5.12 released

Nightly Tester Tools 3.3 released

By Admin

Having a good experience when testing Firefox Nightly builds should be self-evident. Therefor the QA Automation Services team is maintaining the Nightly Tester Tools extension, which brings a couple of useful features to ease the testing efforts. While the extension works fine most of the time, we unfortunately fail at times when a version bump for Firefox happens. Exactly this action repeats in a 6 week interval and is the release cycle of Firefox. So what happens here? The extension registers binary components for the crashme feature in the manifestContinue readingNightly Tester Tools 3.3 released

Mozmill 1.5.11 released

By Admin

Pushing out releases are fun! Especially if new regressions for patches landed a month ago will be identified 15 minutes after the release actually happened. Exactly that fooled us this time, and we even had to pull down Mozmill 1.5.10 from PyPI. As a Mozmill user you will probably have noticed that we skipped the announcement for Mozmill 1.5.10. As by late yesterday Mozmill 1.5.11 is now available for everyone on PyPI. This version will be the last one we expect to see for the 1.5 branch. Current work willContinue readingMozmill 1.5.11 released

MemChaser 0.3 is out

By Admin

Late on Thursday we got our MemChaser 0.3 release out the door. Compared to the last releases this version comes with a ton of new features and bug fixes. Most of them have been requested by users and from the JS team so we put some extra focus on those. As you can see in the image new ui elements have been added. The memory and garbage collector related items are equivalent to the buttons in ‘about:memory‘ and help those users who want to trigger a memory clean-up more oftenContinue readingMemChaser 0.3 is out

Nightly Tester Tools 3.2.2 released

By Admin

The Nightly Tester Tools extension for Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and Songbird is one of the most important extensions for our nightly testing community. It offers helpful features like customizing the title bar, retrieving the current build id, testing the crash behavior, and others. For a long time exactly since early January no new version has been released. The reason was that the maintainer hasn’t had that much time anymore to drive the project. Given the importance and our own usage of the extension, the Automation Services team has requested toContinue readingNightly Tester Tools 3.2.2 released

MemChaser 0.2.1 released

By Admin

Yesterday a new version of MemChaser has been released. It was necessary due to the implementation of the new Garbage Collector API, which has been landed on Thursday for Firefox 14. Beside the new observers which report about CC/GC activity some of the console message keys have also been changed. That broke our parsing of values and MemChaser was not able to report any GC information. Version 0.2.1 is a bug fix release and only contains the above mentioned fix. If you are interested in more information check our issueContinue readingMemChaser 0.2.1 released
