Not actively working on this, but had some old (probably way bitrotted) progress I wanted to upload in case someone else decided to take a look.

To support running Android xpcshell tests on interactive loaners, you need to set up the necessary environment and tools. Xpcshell tests are a type of automated testing used in the Firefox codebase to test JavaScript and XPCOM components. Running these tests on interactive loaner devices, which are typically remote machines that you can access for testing purposes, requires a few steps:

Access to Loaner Devices:
Obtain access to the interactive loaner devices. These devices should have the necessary Android environment and dependencies installed.

Android Development Environment:
Ensure that the loaner devices have the Android development environment set up, including the Android SDK, ADB (Android Debug Bridge), and necessary platform tools.

Firefox Source Code:
Make sure you have the Firefox source code checked out. You can clone the Firefox repository from their version control system (e.g., Mercurial or Git).

Configure Paths:
Configure the paths to the Android SDK and ADB in your environment variables so that the test scripts can locate these tools.

Prepare Test Configuration:
Prepare a configuration for the xpcshell tests you want to run. This includes specifying the tests you want to run, any necessary environment variables, and any specific test settings.

Device Connection:
Connect to the loaner device using ADB. Make sure the device is detected and accessible from your machine.

Run Xpcshell Tests:
Run the xpcshell tests on the connected device using the ADB command. The command might look something like this:

adb shell /path/to/firefox/xpcshell -v /path/to/testFile.js

Replace /path/to/firefox with the path to the Firefox source code and /path/to/testFile.js with the path to the specific test file you want to run.

Monitor and Collect Results:
Monitor the test execution on the remote device. The test results will be displayed on the terminal. You might also want to capture the results in a log file for further analysis.

Clean Up:
Once the tests are complete, ensure that you clean up any temporary files, logs, or other artifacts on the remote device.

Troubleshooting and Debugging:
If you encounter any issues during the test run, use debugging techniques such as examining logs, error messages, and the test output to identify the problem.

Remember that the exact steps and commands may vary depending on the specific loaner setup, Android version, Firefox version, and other factors. Be sure to consult the official documentation for Firefox testing and Android development for the most up-to-date information.
