1626522 - Enable extension logging for Raptor webext jobs in CI

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: Raptor, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

For those Raptor jobs which make use of the webextension we should enable extension logging via the preference extensions.logging.enabled=true.

The easiest way to do that in CI is to add the preference in the TaskCluster configuration by using the extra options for mozharness, and setting it via --setpref. But therefore we will have to wait for bug 1626373 landed, which separates out the browsertime jobs into their own file.

For mobile and GeckoView based browsers this is more complicated because setting the preference doesn't seem to have an effect. I assume it gets reset, and we need a different way in setting it maybe via the yaml file?

James, can you please give us a hint in how we could enable extension logging for GeckoView vehicles? Thanks.

Hm, it actually seems to work with the preferences set in the profile:

I will have another look to get this working.
