1161556 - Simplify objdir usage in mozharness

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Release Engineering :: Applications: MozharnessCore, defect, P5)

Description

[Michael Shal [:mshal]]

Somewhat similar to bug 1139413, we should simplify our usage of getting an objdir in the build scripts. For example, we have at least the following in various places:

 - self.query_abs_dirs()['abs_objdir']
 - self.query_abs_dirs()['abs_obj_dir']
 - self.objdir
 - self.config['objdir']
 - self._query_objdir()

Not to mention several other flavors of objdir that may or may not be redundant with these (shell_objdir, abs_analyzed_objdir, analysis-objdir). This would require some investigation to see if they can be joined with the others or not.

I think at least the first group can all be unified into a single thing in a one of the common script classes, so it is defined in one place and used the same throughout mozharness.

I think between simplification that has happened elsewhere, and moving logic out of mozharness into taskcluster / mach, we can mark this resolved.
