1543375 - [BinAST] Add the binjs-ref encoder to tooltool

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, task, P3)

Description

[Ted Campbell [:tcampbell]]

We have a number of binjs generated files in tree for tests but don't have any audit/reproduction chain for them. My understanding is that this is where the tooltool system for CI is of use. We can have specific versions of binjs-ref recorded there and explicitly updated without needed to vendor it all into mozilla-central.

So, we'll need a snapshot of binjs-ref, including dependencies, right? In turn, binjs-ref depends on some Node packages. Will this work?

The eslint package bundles its node_modules directory and occasionally updates. It is probably a good model to follow.
