1714036 - FOG: Allow easy updating of code gen snapshot tests

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Telemetry, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Jan-Erik Rediger [:janerik]]

Right now it's a bit of a hassle to update the expected output of the code generator.
One has to manually modify the metrics index, run a build, then copy the right files into t/c/g/pytest (with different names then their generated ones).

But the test already sees the new content! We can just let it write it when asked to do so.

Attachment: Bug 1714036 - Add a way to automatically update the expected file contents for Glean tests. r?chutten

One can now run the tests with UPDATE_EXPECT=1 and the code will
update the files, so one can then commit them (after verifying that they
do what they should)
