1455629 - Allow tc-clients to "just work" in tc-worker, generic-worker, docker-worker via TASKCLUSTER_ROOT_URL

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1459075

(Taskcluster :: Services, enhancement)

Description

[Dustin J. Mitchell [:dustin] (he/him)]

All three worker implementations now support the equivalent of taskcluster-proxy.  However, the base URLs for all of them are different.

I think the new API root URL is flexible enough to support these cases, though.  So let's make all of the workers publish the appropriate environment variable so that

const tc = require('taskcluster');
const queue = new tc.Queue();
queue.createTask(..)

will "just work" in any worker that has taskcluster-proxy available, in a task with appropriate scopes.

Also, let's document this behavior somewhere.

This is now tracked in bugs for each worker independently.
