Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

(note: bug 1175203 is to fix issues from infer)

We're currently running the analyses daily at [1] but it'll get more eyes if we get it on Task Cluster.

Then again, if we can't suppress/hide warnings, it might suck to burn the tree on failure.

Looks like there's some kind of wrapper around javac.  http://fbinfer.com/docs/analyzing-apps-or-projects.html suggests

infer -- mach gradle app:assembleLocalDebug might Just Work.  To make progress on this, use the "One Click Loaner" in Task Cluster to get an Android API 15 front-end builder.  Then try to install infer on that device and see if you can get |mach gradle| running under this.  (Note that ./gradlew is equivalent to |mach gradle|, modulo some settings that we could work around.)

It's irritating that FB hasn't just built a Gradle plugin to achieve this, but I think they use Buck internally so it perhaps makes sense.
