1389488 - addon.install should check if path of extension exists for a better error message

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Henrik Skupin (:whimboo) [⌚️UTC+2]]

Right now addon.install() fails with a not that helpful error if the test is trying to install an add-on which does not exist:

WebDriverException: Message: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520001 (NS_ERROR_FILE_UNRECOGNIZED_PATH) [nsIFile.initWithPath]"  nsresult: "0x80520001 (NS_ERROR_FILE_UNRECOGNIZED_PATH)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://marionette/content/addon.js :: addon.install/< :: line 55"  data: no]

Instead lets check that the file exists before forwarding the request to the AddonManager.

With my latest changes to the install addon code we have the following now:

TEST-UNEXPECTED-ERROR | test_addons.py TestAddons.test_temporary_install_and_remove_unsigned_addon | AddonInstallException: Could not install add-on at '/Volumes/data/code/gecko/testing/marionette/harness/marionette_harness/tests/unit/ebextension-unsigned.xpi': Component returned failure code: 0x80520006 (NS_ERROR_FILE_TARGET_DOES_NOT_EXIST) [nsIFile.isFile]

We could improve the failure message to something like: "Could not find add-on at ...".

Code-wise this looks fine. But please fix the indentation as mentioned inline.

Please make sure to use white-spaces, otherwise the linter will fail. To check that as best run "./mach lint testing/marionette".

Thanks. I triggered a try build so we can make sure nothing regresses.

Something we missed, could you please also add a new Python test for this specific case?

Just name it `test_install_nonexistent_addon`.

You should use https://docs.python.org/2/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase.assertRaisesRegexp here, to directly compare the error message. It makes it much nicer to read.

Also `cm` is not use here, so it can be removed.

We shouldn't exceed the line limit when you get rid of the extra variable and directly use the string as argument.
