When using ./mach run or ./mach test, my terminal gets filled with noisy messages like: GECKO(57845) | 2017-12-04 12:32:02.711 firefox[57845:1768546] IMKInputSession presentFunctionRowItemTextInputViewWithEndpoint:completionHandler: : [self textInputContext]=0x1109f4640 *NO* NSRemoteViewController to client, NSError=Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4097 "connection from pid 0" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=connection from pid 0}, com.apple.inputmethod.EmojiFunctionRowItem On modern macbook pros, this message appears each time a textbox (eg. the urlbar) is focused. This makes the really important errors and warnings easier to miss in the output. I filed bug 1335191 to get this specific error message fixed/silenced, but I'm being told there that there's nothing we can do to fix it. So at this point I think the next best thing we can do is use the mach wrapper to filter out this noise, like it does for some compiler warnings.
