1975250 - Allow profile path to be passed into the Marionette client

Status: NEW

(Testing :: Marionette Client and Harness, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Jared Hirsch [:jhirsch] (he/him) (Needinfo please)]

Splitting this off from the work in bug 1960964. Plans for the bug from the review feedback in D254322[1]:

1. Pass profile into the Marionette client as a string with the path to the profile on disk.
2. Now when we pass the profile path via instance_args to GeckoInstance.init() it assigns it directly to self._profile. This looks wrong and I think we need to change that to actually use the profile setter, which can handle an instance of mozprofile or a path string, and then correctly sets the self._profile to an instance of the mozprofile class.
3. it would be good to have a unit test for Marionette which creates a new Marionette client by specifying the profile to a temporary location. See the test test_profile_management.py for adding a test.

Hi Jared, have you had a chance to already extract the Marionette client specific pieces from your patch on bug 1960964?
