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

Mozmill 1.5.9 released

By Admin

As noted in my yesterdays blog post about the freeze of Mozmill in the JSBridge module when Python 2.7.2 is used, there was an urgent need for a new version of Mozmill. Late yesterday we were able to finally release Mozmill 1.5.9 on PYPI. It only includes the fix for bug 722707 and allows everyone who is running on Python 2.7.2 to use Mozmill again. If you are affected please upgrade immediately.

How I fixed a Mozmill freeze by bisecting Python

By Admin

Last week we had a very frustrating situation with Mozmill. It caused us some headaches because it came up at the time when we tried to trigger our new test-run for add-ons ‘Default to Compatible’ for the first time. While I was working on the necessary Python script and testing it excessively on OS X 10.7, I haven’t noticed any issue. Everything was working as expected. Then I asked William Lachance to assist me in testing the script on Windows and Linux. So as you may guess now, he cameContinue readingHow I fixed a Mozmill freeze by bisecting Python

FOSDEM 2012, Add-on SDK, and slides for Mozmill CI

By Admin

Over the last weekend I had the pleasure to participate in the Free and Open source Software Developers’ European Meeting – aka FOSDEM – in Brussels, which is an annual conference for open source projects and their enthusiastic communities. It’s not only fascinating to listen to scheduled talks, but also to meet fellows again who I haven’t seen for mostly a year or even longer. As every year I have spent a bit of my time before the event to prepare a schedule including interesting talks and other organizational stuff.Continue readingFOSDEM 2012, Add-on SDK, and slides for Mozmill CI

Mozmill 1.5.8 has been released

By Admin

The final bits of Mozmill 1.5.8 are now available through Pypi. Install or upgrade Mozmill by running: pip install –upgrade mozmill==1.5.8 We had to release this version to fix a recent regression which has been identified in Mozmill 1.5.7, and which caused a hard-stop when an user restart has been requested. The issue did only exist on OS X. Beside this fix we now enabled the new boolean preference called ‘focusmanager.testmode’ by default. It will allow us to run multiple Mozmill tests concurrently on the same machine. Support for theContinue readingMozmill 1.5.8 has been released

Mozmill 1.5.6 released

By Admin

It’s the first time for us that we release two new versions of Mozmill in such a short interval. While this release is a bug fix release, it will add support for an upcoming feature in Firefox Nightly builds, which will probably checked-in today and be available in tomorrows builds. If you wonder what I’m talking about, please read bug 693743, which describes the changes in how Firefox will handle 3rd party add-ons in the future. Especially those extensions which are getting installed into the application or profile folder. InContinue readingMozmill 1.5.6 released

Release of Mozmill 1.5.5

By Admin

Lately we have released Mozmill 1.5.5. It’s a bug fix release only and we had to release it as fast as possible, because of a broken waitForPageLoaded() method. Also the structure of the JSON report was broken if a module import from within a Mozmill test raised a global exception. A list of fixes can be found on Bugzilla.

Mozmill Crowd 0.1.4 released

By Admin

To help the team around the Memshrink project Mozilla QA Automation Services has released Mozmill Crowd 0.1.4. In this version the only changes which affect the extension itself are additions for the Endurance test-run, which allow users to specify the number of entities and if Firefox has to be restarted in-between each test. We also have moved our Mozmill environments for all platforms from my own Mozilla people account to a new secure location on mozqa.com. In the future please always use this new location to grab the latest versionContinue readingMozmill Crowd 0.1.4 released

New Automation Services mailing list and newsgroup

By Admin

As part of the discussions during our QA Automation Services work week end of July, we have decided to be more open to the public. We have seen that in the past mostly all conversations regarding tools, tasks, and status updates happened on our internal mailing list, which is not accessible by any of our contributors. Well, that’s counter-productive because we have dozens of smart and awesome community members out there who probably want to help and learn the techniques in automated testing. And we should give those the possibilityContinue readingNew Automation Services mailing list and newsgroup
