1786962 - Firefox View tests were not run when the component was conditionally built for nightly

Status: NEW

(Developer Infrastructure :: Try, defect, P3)

Description

[Ed Lee :Mardak]

As noted in bug 1774435 comment 7, browser/components/firefoxview used to be conditionally built:

browser/components/moz.build

if CONFIG["NIGHTLY_BUILD"]:
  DIRS += [
    "firefoxview",

And conditionally tested:

browser/components/firefoxview/tests/browser/browser.ini

run-if = nightly_build

and maybe something related to that prevented try from running any tests under browser/components/firefoxview unless directly specified, e.g., ./mach try fuzzy browser/components/firefoxview

For example, this try push for bug 1782524 seemed fine with no firefoxview tests failing in bc1-16, but it's because they didn't actually run:
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/jobs?repo=try&revision=50b9b2925babb41a43d982a030f5d258f5200981

With bug 1774435 landed removing the conditional, this is no longer an issue for the firefoxview component, so mainly tracking this in case other teams end up trying to debug a similar situation.
