1913163 - [mozdevice] improve resiliency of adb operations

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: Mozbase, enhancement)

Description

[Geoff Brown [:gbrown]]

mozdevice has been plagued by a history of intermittent failures when running adb commands. Maybe that's to be expected when running an external executable that communicates with a remote device?

We have addressed specific intermittent failures with retries...maybe it would be worth the effort to generalize that approach.

Attachment: Bug 1913163 - Enable retries for more mozdevice operations

Add a simple retry mechanism to shell_output() and enable retries for many mozdevice
operations using shell_output(); avoid operations that might have side effects if
non-atomic.
