Details

One of the complaints that the JS team told me about when trying to fix broken Jetpack tests due to the compartments landing was that, unlike other Mozilla test suite infrastructure, it wasn't possible to enter gdb when a test failed, so they could inspect what went wrong.

I suspect it wouldn't be hard to add such functionality to the SDK's test runner/framework, and it seems like it'd be a big help to JS/Gecko engineers going forward.
