I think that running browser tests is overkill when testing Javascript code like RecipeRunner. Furthermore, running a single test suite like: mach mochitest -f browser toolkit/components/normandy/test/browser/browser_RecipeRunner.js ...takes 40s to complete :( ...has several thousands lines of output, ... and the test browser window is annoying.
> ... and the test browser window is annoying. Try `./mach mochitest --headless` instead. I think it runs faster, and no annoying browser window. That being said, many of our tests could definitely be rewritten as xpcshell tests. Some of the early tests (I'm thinking of Heartbeat) need to be mochitests, but most of the other tests are written as mochitests due to momentum.
