1197358 - Create update.py script for firefox-ui-tests to handle Firefox builds for Jenkins

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Applications: MozharnessCore, defect)

Description

After talking to Armen about 2 weeks ago it looks like that only some tweaks are necessary to ensure that we can run the script also for nightly tests. I will work on this by next week, so that we finally could also run them as part of the funsize partial mar generation tasks.

Armen, I have a question to the tools repository which actually is required to run the update script. As far as I know it is only used to fetch the config files for releases. Given that we don't need those for nightly builds, I think we should only make it mandatory in case of update_verify_config has been specified. Does that sound correct to you?

With the patch on bug 1200368 I can successfully run nightly builds with the firefox_ui_updates.py script. There might be some more smaller tweaks necessary, which I may wanna do here once the other bug got fixed.

Updating summary to reflect the current naming of the script.

All work is done here for that script. Lets wait for the stackwalk fix being landed to mark this bug as fixed.

All dependencies are fixed now. Bug 1201588 is only remaining open for a feedback and a possible enhancement patch. But that doesn't block us on this bug.

The update script is ready now and can be used by our Jenkins instance or by Rail for nightly and release builds.
