1810101 - Use "add_task()" instead of "add_test()" in Remote Protocols xpcshell tests

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Remote Protocol :: Agent, task, P3)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

All of our xpcshell tests currently use the "add_test()" function which require the line run_next_test(); to be added at the end of the test:

We should switch to add_task() which doesn't need it and better works with async test code.

Hello Henrik,
So I've just looked at the codebase on GitHub and I have managed to track the files that need the changes, should I fork the repo and then link the bug once I am done, or there is another process that I should follow to fix the issue addressed in this bug?
