1029810 - [Search experiment] Add the search experiment to the experiments server

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Search, defect)

Description

[:Felipe Gomes (needinfo for replies!)]

To publish an experiment, it's necessary to:

- clone http://hg.mozilla.org/webtools/telemetry-experiment-server/
- add a new folder under experiments/ with:
  - the .xpi produced in the bugs tracked by 1029746
  - a manifest file with the information defined in bug 1029799
- rebuild the static server build, test locally
- push to the repo to send it to the staging server

Are we going to push the search experiment into the dev staging server for QA before publishing?
- https://telemetry-experiment-dev.allizom.org

Could we also add the experiment here once it's ready for testing? This is where Benjamin usually pushes all the new features and changes:

The .xpi probably will need updating, but this is a good start

Incorporated final parameters from bug 1029810. It's just missing the minBuildID from today added to the manifest.

I pushed this with an updated manifest which removes maxStartTime.

Went through verification using the following build:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/31.0b6/win32/en-US/

* most of the testing for the search experiment was done in bug #1029818 as mentioned in comment #7 (including using the official staging server)
* quickly ensured that the experiment was installed using the production staging server:
** default pref set as: experiments.manifest.uri;https://telemetry-experiment.cdn.mozilla.net/manifest/v1/firefox/%VERSION%/%CHANNEL%
** contacts: httpGetRequest(https://telemetry-experiment.cdn.mozilla.net/manifest/v1/firefox/31.0/beta) <= includes the [e-mail] manifest
