16562 - [dogfood][feature] Module to generate install.js for components

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect, P3)

Description

[Samir Gehani]

The Mac installer and .xpi automation requires an install.js generator that can
be called from an AppleScript. The implementation should be either in Perl or
AppleScript.

we need this as part of build automation to get the new installer hooked up on
the mac.

I've checked in
mozilla/xpinstall/packager/mac/GenJSLib                [compiled script]
mozilla/xpinstall/packager/mac/GenJSLib.script         [text]
mozilla/xpinstall/packager/mac/TestGenJSLib            [compiled script]
mozilla/xpinstall/packager/mac/TestGenJSLib.script     [text]

The test script shows how to load and use the single API exported by
the AppleScript library. The API is documented in GenJSLib.script:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- genJSFile
--
-- Generates a JS file from a supplied template after replacing all
-- predefined tokens with input parameters.
--
-- @param aSrcJSTFile       the source JavaScript template file
-- @param aDstJSFolder      the destination folder into which to generate the
--                          install.js
--                          [NOTE: no ':' at path end]
-- @param aVersion          the version string with which to replace the
--                          $Version$ string
-- @return err              the error code as  prescribed
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marking fixed. Changing QA Assigned To: to jj since his script will be the
client of this call.
