The Android testing mach commands (mochitest, reftest) check that Firefox for Android is installed before running tests; if not found, they offer: $ ./mach reftest --app=org.mozilla.geckoview_example It looks like Firefox is not installed on this device. Install Firefox? (Y/n) n That's inconvenient and not useful when trying to run tests against a different application.
A complication here is that we can leverage 'mach install' to install Firefox, but I don't think there is corresponding support for installing geckoview_example...and it's likely not possible to reliably determine an appropriate apk from --app.
Priority: -- → P1

In the near future I expect more interest in testing against geckoview_example or similar applications. That's easily handled with the existing --app argument. This patch pays attention to --app when checking to see if the device has a test application installed. For testing Firefox for Android, this should mean no change to the existing behavior. For testing with geckoview_example or similar, mach will warn if the app is not installed and provide an opportunity to install it. We might be able to improve on that -- perform the installation automatically -- in the future, when/if 'mach install' is enhanced. I think this is good enough for now. $ ./mach robocop testAboutPage --app=org.mozilla.geckoview_example No Android devices connected. Start an emulator? (Y/n) Starting emulator running Android 4.3... Running the arm emulator; be sure to install an arm APK! It looks like org.mozilla.geckoview_example is not installed on this device, but I don't know how to install it. Install it now, then hit Enter
