1095794 - Show compatibility warning if an add-on uses "GreD"

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Compatibility Tools, defect)

Description

[Jorge Villalobos [:jorgev] (he/him)]

As explained in bug 1050944, the directory that the string "GreD" refers to has been split, so some resources in it might not be there anymore. All instances of the "GreD" string (with single or double quotes) need to be flagged.

This is a compatibility warning, so the add-on should still be upgraded in this case. It should also appear as a warning in regular validations.

Message:

The "GreD" directory was split in two on Mac OS X, so some files are no longer accessible through that reference. If you used this directory to access binary files, you need to use "GreBinD" instead. See <LINK> for more information.

Affected add-on:

https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/nightly-tester-tools/

Release timing:

The next Firefox release will happen on November 25th. Ideally we should run the compat bump before Nov 19th.
