898018 - [marionette-js-runner] Expose methods to create multiple hosts

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing Graveyard :: JSMarionette, defect)

Description

[James Lal [:lightsofapollo]]

This is a lower priority thing but in theory we can spawn multiple hosts (and clients) in our tests. I am not sure how this is useful for gaia testing right no but it is a fairly small amount of work.

Part 1 is to expose the API:


marionette('test', function() {
  createClient('otherUser');

  test('with otherUser', function() {
    this.otherUser.goUrl('....');
  });

});

Part 2: would be to add some option in the host to define if they can actually spawn multiple processes. firefox, emulators, b2g-desktop can but phones obviously cannot.
