1915891 - Overhaul Remote Protocol documentation for firefox source docs and the Mozilla Wiki

Status: NEW

(Remote Protocol :: Agent, task, P2)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

We should update the source documentation to reflect the current state as well as the deprecation of CDP + the requirement to set the custom value for the remote.active-protocols. It's also not correct that the Remote Protocol is CDP only. There might be other things to update as well.

Might make sense to wait for CDP removal in Bug 1882096

Comment 2

Can we actually close this since you updated the documentation together with the CDP removal?

Comment 3

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

No, there is still work to do including the Wiki pages which still have CDP listed.

Comment 4

[Julian Descottes [:jdescottes]]

Do we still have anything to update in https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/ though? If it's only wiki and other documentations, we should clarify the bug title & description then.

Updating the summary so it reflects what needs to be done.

Right now we have WebDriver as top-level page (https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebDriver) and Remote Protocol as a sub page (https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebDriver/RemoteProtocol). Most likely we should switch to have something like that:

• Remote Protocols (Remote Agent)
  ** WebDriver BiDi
  ** CDP (if needed until the Firefox 140 ESR is no longer supported)
  ** Meetings
  ** ...
