1556300 - Create mach try preset

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Remote Protocol :: Agent, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Andreas Tolfsen ❲:ato❳]

Regardless what is the conclusion to https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D32028/,
we will want a try preset that can run all the relevant remote
debugger tests for us.

At the moment, I think we want it to include:

• remote/test/browser/ (mochitest browser-chrome)
• remote/test/unit/ (xpcshell)

Can you explain what we need to do here? Can the preset be scoped
to running files under specific directories?

Here's an example of an in-tree preset (note if the mochitest-remote patch lands, this becomes obsolete). Also I needed to duplicate paths and test_paths because of bug 1556445 (the workaround is simple enough I wouldn't bother making it block this).

With this, you'd run mach try --preset remote. Though, this preset is pretty basic.. you almost don't even need it. Without a preset, you could just run:

# select tasks interactively
$ ./mach try fuzzy remote

# select tasks from cli
$ ./mach try fuzzy remote -q "linux xpcshell"

I see your point. All the tests we care about for the moment are
under remote/, and fuzzy is able to figure our the tests from giving
the path already.

We can always re-open this bug if the situation changes and there
are tests outside of remote/ that become relevant to us.
