1330408 - Use Ubuntu 16 docker image for some Android tests

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: Task Configuration, task)

Description

[Geoff Brown [:gbrown]]

Currently all taskcluster Android tests run on Ubuntu 12 docker images. The Ubuntu 16 docker image is generally preferred and some desktop tests use it: We should move Android to Ubuntu 16, at least where convenient.

I see no difference in test results between ubuntu 12 and 16; I think the emulator runs just the same in either environment.

In this patch, I'm only eliminating the by-test-platform cases - crashtests, mochitest-media, marionette, and reftests. I suspect all Android tests can be run on the 16 image, but I hesitate to complicate tests.yml with new by-test-platform cases -- I'd prefer to switch Android xpcshell, etc at the same time as desktop.
