Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: General, task)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+2]]

Soft Freeze / Merge Date: 2022-09-15 / 2022-09-19 (from the Release Management Calendar)
More details about any of those tasks can be found at: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools/release.html

Anytime during the release:

• [x] outdated backward compatibility code removed (doc, searchfox)
• [x] outdated telemetry probes removed (bz query)
• [x] add a needinfo in devtools-qa bugs (bz query)
• [x] Update MDN data for the Compatibility panel:
  • [x] Update compat data in mozilla-central
  • [x] Update browser data in Remote Settings
  • For both tasks, follow devtools/shared/compatibility/README.md

Close to the end of the release

• [x] smoke test for remote debugging against version 105 (doc)
• [x] smoke test for remote debugging against the same version (version 106) (same doc)
• [x] check xpcshell debugging (doc)

Marionette and BiDi:

• [x] close to the end of release (~1 week), based on the list of bugs fixed during the release, update Marionette release notes on MDN for 105: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/105#webdriver_conformance_marionette.
• [x] right after the release of Firefox 105, send a mail to the dev-webdriver mailing list.

Template suggestion for the Marionette email (adjust wording if relevant):

Firefox 105 has just been released, containing updates for our WebDriver (BiDi, Marionette) support.

You can find all the details in the change log for web developers:

Nice to have:

Comment 1

[Julian Descottes [:jdescottes]]

Smoke tests are ok, done against desktop and Android

• smoke test for remote debugging against version 105
• smoke test for remote debugging against the same version (version 106)

xpcshell debugging is ok as well. I can break in a test, although all the variables are marked as InvisibleToDebugger, but that doesn't look like a recent regression. I am not sure if this is a technical limitation, I will check with more tests and will file another bug.
