888853 - Enhance controller.restartApllication() to handle custom restart flags

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Testing Graveyard :: Mozmill, defect)

Description

[Andrei Eftimie]

For bug 886811 we need to send a custom restart type for some tests (mainly OSX restartChangeArchitecture tests) in controller.restartApplication()

The method should be able to receive a new argument with a custom restart type, and default to what it uses now.

I need this for bug 886811 to be able to send custom restart flags for the OSX restartChangeArchitecture tests.

We used to do a startUserShutdown() then do a custom restart.
When we change that to restartApplication() we need to be able to specify those custom restart flags.

I am not sure that this would be the right approach.

This approach looks good to me. I'll probably defer to Henrik for the final review though.

All this is not necessary anymore. I have already added this to my patch on bug 865690 which landed end of last week.
