1192825 - Webapp tests leave a lot of garbage behind when they run

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: Webapp Runtime, defect)

See the attached screenshots - it appears that our test slaves accumulate junk all over the desktop from the webapps tests. While I think they get cleaned up when the slave reboots, that isn't guaranteed to happen often. I'd be surprised if this wasn't dumping things all over people's desktops when being run locally, though, too.

Can we do a better job cleaning up after these tests?

I think the tests at fault are the oldest webapps tests in dom/tests/mochitest/webapps/.

I see this locally too, and it may be the cause of bug 1059238.  Per 1059238, comment 346, I've added a bit of logging of the result of the uninstaller process to this tryserver run:

Per bug 1238079, we're going to disable the desktop web runtime and remove it from the codebase, so we won't fix these bugs in it.
