[[ex-Mozilla] Agi Sferro | :agi]

./mach build on an android build only builds application code, but not tests. We should make ./mach build build everything that ./mach android build-geckoview_example builds too.

mach build should build everything, including GVE and the tests.

Attachment: Bug 1567640: Build `geckoview_example` and geckoview tests from `./mach build`.

This patch builds geckoview example app and the geckoview tests when you run ./mach build. It increases the export phase of the build process, but catches exceptions in both places and it Java and Kotlin.
