962181 - Add command end-points for Selenium compatibility in Marionette

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Remote Protocol :: Marionette, defect, P2)

Description

[Andreas Tolfsen ❲:ato❳]

The W3C WebDriver specification changes the name of some command
end-points, making it backwards incompatible with Selenium 2.x.
Selenium 3 onwards intends to reflect this by not being backwards
compatible with 2.x.

Marionette, however, needs to currently be able to test against
Selenium 2.x, but be future proof for 3.x.  The WebDriver
compatibility task, bug 721859, introduces the commands needed to be
compatible with the specification.  This task intends to the Selenium
2.x commands as deprecated end-points to Marionette, which can later
be removed when Selenium 3 is released.
