1558462 - jsshell doesn't support testing functions

Status: NEW

(Testing :: mozregression, defect, P3)

Description

[Paul Bone [:pbone]]

I want to find a regression when the shell code contains testing functions, functions like schedulegc. See Bug 1557928. But the jsshell that mozregression lets me test isn't built with this. Is there a way that I can say I want jsshells that are built with this support? If not I'd like this feature added please.

I don't believe this is supported, no. Note that it isn't currently in anyone's formal job description to maintain / add features to mozregression, though I'd be happy to review a PR.

Does automation even produce builds in that config? (Not obviously)
If it does then it should be possible to add them, but if they are not even being produced then it is not possible for mozregression to bisect them.

It looks like there's also jsautobisect, I'll look into that and and keep this in mind. I guess the problem though is that the builds need to be created?

Thanks.

That would definitely be something we would need! I'm not following what we're building tremendously closely anymore-- you might have more luck asking :rail, :catlee, or someone else on the releng team.
