1515451 - Update agent - Incorporate agent into build

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Application Update, task, P1)

Description

[Adam Gashlin (he/him) [:agashlin]]

The update agent is a standalone binary written in Rust, which needs to be (conditionally) integrated into mozilla-central and the Mozilla build system. This also involves:

- vendoring additional crates if needed
- adding to install
- signing the exe

Attachment: Bug 1515451 Part 1 - Update agent scheduled task

This is a work-in-progress skeleton of the update agent binary.
It is able to:

1. Register itself with the Windows Task Scheduler,
   with the "install-self" or "install-self-local-service" commands.
   The task will have a single action, executing the current binary
   with argument "task-action", followed by any arguments given
   on the command line.
   The task will have a single trigger for testing, which will
   run the task once 2 minutes after the install. It can also be run
   on demand.
   Any pre-existing task with the same name will be removed before
   registering the new task.
2. Uninstall a task ("uninstall" command)
3. Run a task on demand ("run-on-demand" command)
4. be run by the task scheduler (recognized by the "task-action"
   command line argument). Currently this writes its arguments to
   C:\ProgramData\task_test.txt for testing.

Depends on D35506

The error occurs because the JS build process explicitly filters out members it doesn't include from the workspace. This seems error-prone, as it requires any addition to the workspace to be mirrored here.

I'll add updateagent to the filter for now, and file a bug to avoid issues like this in the future.
