1227571 - [firefox-ui-tests] mozharness scripts have to install and uninstall the application

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Applications: MozharnessCore, defect)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+2]]

Via bug 1227570 we want to get rid of the --installer option. That means the consumer has to take care of the installation and uninstallation. In this case the firefox-ui-tests scripts have to do it themselves.

This works because update_release.py sets its own actions.

Would it make sense to setting those actions in update.py?

This class is looking less like a base class but instead and implementation of update.py

You mean setting the "Steps" in update_release? Otherwise I don't understand. The release update tests are totally different and you cannot have hard-coded steps like those defined. Keep in mind that you run tests for x-amount of different installers. To not rely on the steps there are the methods install_app() and uninstall_app() which

Hm, sorry but I do not understand.

I'm meaning that a base set of actions can be put in FirefoxUIUpdateTests while the one specific to your script can overwrite them like this:

I'm intending for FirefoxUIUpdateTests to stay as a base class and let subclassing scripts to overwrite actions.
With this patch we're making "install" and "uninstall" defacto actions.

The base set of actions for update tests are identical to the ones in the FirefoxUITests base class. Why should we replicate the same steps for FirefoxUIUpdateTests?

Those actions are REQUIRED. Otherwise you wont be able to run our tests anymore given that the --installer option is going away. If a subclass of FirefoxUIUpdateTests need something specific it can always overwrite the actions. And exactly that is happening for the update release class.

Thanks Armen, and sorry that it was not that clearly described initially. I should do better in the future especially wit the larger changes coming up now by moving our tests into m-c.
