1185415 - [b2g] b2g desktop should support a way for system updater testing.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: DOM: Device Interfaces, defect)

Description

[James Cheng[:JamesCheng]]

We would like to test the updater functionality on b2g desktop.

The updater in b2g flame is
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/b2g/components/UpdatePrompt.js

We can trigger the updater from setting app.

For b2g desktop, is there any way for testing the component and is there any updater existing on b2g desktop?

For b2g desktop, we may test updater with OTA, switch to a custom build as a complete test. But I don't know if it's what we want or prefer a simple test.

enable updater in b2g desktop:
add in mozconfig:
>> ac_add_options --enable-updater
>> ac_add_options --with-gl-provider=EGL // For ubuntu only, solve enter setting but crash immediately

remove in B2GComponents.manifest
>> category system-update-provider MozillaProvider @mozilla.org/updates/update-prompt;1,{88b3eb21-d072-4e3b-886d-f89d8c49fe59}

I think updater is registered but not working.
