Details

Requiring the packages added in bug 1231981 for every local invocation of Mochitests is a lot of overhead. As noted in bug 1268032, several mb of Python archives are downloaded as a result of running |./mach mochitest| for any test. We work hard to reduce overhead for common developer workflows. A separate mach command or flag for the mochitest command should be implemented that will install these packages when required.
Rank: 15
Priority: -- → P1
I'd prefer a conditional to a flag or separate command, e.g if any tests that require the libraries were selected, then install them implicitly. Somewhat related, I wonder if we should have a virtualenv in ~/.mozbuild or similar for things that aren't objdir specific.
Fixed in the re-landing.
