1517059 - Tidy up Mozmill/JSBridge resources

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Testing Infrastructure, enhancement)

Description

[Geoff Lankow (:darktrojan)]

In this bug I'm going to lint all the Python in mail/test/mozmill and mail/test/resources, and remove the docs, scripts, and test directories which are unused and seriously out-of-date.

I know you love linting stuff aceman – how about some Python for a change?

Buried in this patch, I've moved the profile directory used for mozmill tests out of the objdir and into the temporary directory (whatever tempfile.gettempdir() returns). This has an advantage in that by setting $TEMP you can move the profile dir, to /dev/shm for example, which avoids writing to disk at all.

Comment 2

[Geoff Lankow (:darktrojan)]

I'm not going to post a patch that only deletes 76 files, because that's ridiculous. So this ni? is really an r? on that operation. The files are:

mail/test/resources/mozmill/docs/*
mail/test/resources/mozmill/scripts/*
mail/test/resources/mozmill/test/*

Luckly this didn't get buried in my ni queue :D I think it would be best for Jörg to decide on this, I believe he has been more involved with mozmill than me. From a brief look I didn't see anything of value.

I guess it's OK as long as you don't delete mail/test/resources/mozmill/scripts/mozmill ;-) - Aceman is reviewing here, so we can confirm.

Comment 5

[Geoff Lankow (:darktrojan)]

That's not a real file.

Comment 6

[Jorg K (CEST = GMT+2)]

Grrr, what happened there, cut&paste error :-( - I meant: mail/test/resources/mozmill/mozmill ;-)

How did you create the patch? Is there a tool for python linting? Or is it manually decided cleanup?

That sounds useful, I think xpcshell is already in temp dir so mozmill can follow.
What does tempfile.gettempdir() return? Is it e.g. /tmp on Linux, or does it append (create) some random subdirectory (thinking of mktemp() behaviour)?

Yes, nice.

Why this change? Do we want long lines in python?

'os' is also already imported above.

Sorry, no patch to land, so removed some of the stuff mentioned in comment #2. I was going to kill it all, but I asked myself whether docs had any value.

There's a standard (flake8) which m-c code is checked for automatically but not c-c code. I've used a plugin for my editor which might be slightly different but close enough.

It's just /tmp, so our profile directory becomes /tmp/mozmillprofile. xpcshell does this already (unless you run more than one test, annoyingly) and mochitest does this already.

I'll fix it and the other line longer than 100 chars, just for you. :)

Well spotted. These imports shouldn't be here but someone got lazy (me). Moving to the top.

I just got a flake8 error on a Try build. So apparently it IS checked … sometimes … ?
