1121725 - Port tabs library from mozmill-tests repository

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Testing :: Firefox UI Tests, defect)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

To be able to create the first tabbed browsing tests with Marionette, we need the tabs module being ported from JS to Python. It can be found here:

http://hg.mozilla.org/qa/mozmill-tests/file/default/firefox/lib/tabs.js

Handling of the tabs including opening, selecting, and closing is covered by bug 1119715. Everything else is good to be covered here.

This is actually the wrong reference. I meant bug 1121705.

As Chris noted on bug 1129208 a title property would be good to have too. I will get it added.

Also from interest would be a pin() and unpin() method on the tab by using the context menu.

See:

Currently I cannot continue to work on this bug. I pushed the changes to my remote tabs branch in case someone wants to pick it up. But be warned, meanwhile the branch is a bit bitrotted.

This is not a blocker for the security tests in Q1.

Hi Martin, I would be interested in how your work on this bug goes. Are there any problems or issues you have? How far did you get? Thanks.

Hello Henrik, in the past month I've mainly worked on my own Mozmill-Marionette test migrations. Regarding this bug, so far I've merged the main branch (from 4th of september) into your `tabs` branch. I still think this bug is a nice task, but sadly I can't tell you when I could work on it. If time is not critical for this bug you may keep me assigned and I'll work on it besides my other projects. In any case, my dev branch is at https://github.com/myrdd/firefox-ui-tests/tree/tabs. Sorry for the inconveniences.

Thank you for the update Martin. I will put this bug back into the general bucket so someone else can pick it up.

We are not going to add more tests to the firefox-ui tests, given that we want to get rid of these tests and harness over on bug 1573410.
