1169775 - [Raptor] Refactor mozdevice and Raptor to take advantage of Marionette

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::PerformanceTest, defect)

Description

[:Eli Perelman]

Just like the title says. The goal here is to try and move away from using Orangutan to trigger interactions so we have a higher-level interface to work with. Important to note is the syntax for these tests should remain similar to the current structure of Raptor tests. TLDR; we need the Marionette bits without the Mocha bits.

Raptor and mozdevice will still get its performance data from logcat. We hopefully will no longer need a `make raptor` step since these libs are now in the Gaia tree, and should be able to get away from the homescreens.json configuration.

Eli, is there a new deadline for implementing this? Thanks a lot!

This task does not have a well-defined deadline, was hoping to finish it this quarter, but that is not set in stone.

Hei Eli,

do you have any update on this?

The contacts team is moving fast and we have separation for views and activities, and will be really good to try that the work that we are doing is not adding more regressions.

Still on your radar? Any ETA?

Hey Francisco! Yep, it's in review right now [1][2]. If you are interested in beta testing the new tool, ping me in the #raptor room.

That's great!

Looking forward for using it. Some people working on porting the apps to the new architecture will be working together the first week in August to try to speed up the process.

We are planning to use a big monitor with raptor to check how are we doing with our commits. So yes, we will  be testing it soon!

This has landed, with the caveat that we are still waiting on a PR to enable automatic adb forwarding. I'll have updated docs soon. Anyone with questions can ping me in the #raptor room.
