Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: General, defect)

Attachment: launch commands directly instead of with subprocess.Popen (1.0)

it appears that maemkit is failing to run browser chrome tests on fennec.  It generates the correct command line, but when launching python from subprocess.Popen(...) it launches fennec and a couple tests later fennec hangs until it times out after an hour.

With the refactoring (early this year) of the mochitest harnesses, we can now easily run the browser-chrome harness just like the original script without much hacking.

This patch is isolated, but is a hack in the sense that we just import the classes for mochitest and then copy over the config data to the options variable before running the tests.

Could we get an error message before that sys.exit(1) ?
*STAMP* with that.

those messages will come from the parser.verifyOptions() call.  I have added a maemkit specific message there.
