Bug 1797509 - Add help text for determining harness specific arguments. r=ahal
48 bytes, text/x-phabricator-request
Details | Review

I've seen a few instances of people not discovering the --verify and --jsdebugger commands for mach test since these commands are specific to the mochitest and xpcshell-test harnesses (I might be using "harness" incorrectly here, feel free to correct me).

As far as I'm able to tell, there's no logical line from mach test --help to mach mochitest --help (or other testing harness). I'm not sure the best way to solve this problem, but maybe an appropriate solution would be to add a line to the general mach test --help saying that you can learn more about specific harness commands by running mach <testing-suite> --help.

Summary: mach test --help doesn't inform you can learn more about testing harness specific commands by running mach <test_harness> --help → mach test --help doesn't inform you can learn more about testing harness specific commands by running mach test_harness --help
Summary: mach test --help doesn't inform you can learn more about testing harness specific commands by running mach test_harness --help → mach test --help doesn't inform you that you can learn more about testing harness specific commands by running mach test_harness --help
