1388072 - Remove fallback Marionette preferences from geckodriver

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: geckodriver, enhancement)

Description

[Andreas Tolfsen ❲:ato❳]

geckodriver sets some deprecated preferences in the profile to configure Marionette:

> // fallbacks can be removed when Firefox 54 becomes stable
> if let Some(ref level) = self.current_log_level {
>     prefs.insert("marionette.log.level", Pref::new(level.to_string()));
>     prefs.insert("marionette.logging", Pref::new(level.to_string()));  // fallback
> };
> prefs.insert("marionette.port", Pref::new(port as i64));
> prefs.insert("marionette.defaultPrefs.port", Pref::new(port as i64));  // fallback

These were renamed in Firefox 54 and also uplifted to Firefox 53.  It should now be safe to remove these from geckodriver, as the next version (0.19.0) will require Firefox 55.

Attachment: Bug 1388072 - Drop Marionette fallback prefs from geckodriver.

The marionette.defaultPrefs.port and marionette.logging preferences were
removed in https://bugzil.la/1344748, which shipped in Firefox 54.
Because the next version of geckodriver (0.19.0) will only support
Firefox 55 and greater, it is safe to remove the fallbacks.

Andreas, you missed to also remove the assertion in geckodriver tests:

I will take care of it in my patch on bug 1387092.
