418896 - profileserver.py.in shouldn't need to be preprocessed.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: Mochitest, defect)

And it's a good question. Unfortunately, getting relative imports to work with a mix of preprocessed and unpreprocessed files is tricky. We'll need to figure that out, or adjust the module search path somehow.

Moving a bunch of Core :: Testing bugs to Testing :: Mochitest to clear out the former, which is obsolete now that we have more specialized categories for such bugs; filter on the string "MochitestMmMm" to delete all these notifications.

Note that I worked around this with runreftest.py by just $(INSTALL)ing the script to _tests/reftest in the objdir, alongside automation.py. runreftest.py is not preprocessed, as it relies on automation.py for all that dirty work.

Removed profileserver.py from being preprocessed.

r=me, but we should probably fix this the same way as bug 614863 gets fixed to avoid problems.

I just advocated for 614863 to be wontfix. do you have any suggestions/ideas on how to fix that issue easily?
