482779 - Add litmus tests for -file command-line argument handling

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[David Humphrey (:humph)]

From bug 290057 comment 184, we need tests for the new -file command line argument, and it can't be tested in an automated way.

There are two cases that need to be tested.  NOTE: these tests depend on attachment 358454 [details] [diff] [review] from bug 290057 being landed on 1.9.1.

Test 1: Passing -file when browser not running
----------------------------------------------

Assuming a browser at ~/Firefox.app

Steps:
------

1. Create a simple text file: 

$ echo "Hello world" > ~/test.txt

2. Run your browser, passing the file name as a -file argument: 

$ ~/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -file ~/test.txt

Result:
-------

New browser should open with the contents of ~/test.txt displayed in a tab.


Test 2: Passing -file when browser running
------------------------------------------

Assuming a browser at ~/Firefox.app

Steps:
------

1. Run your browser: 

$ ~/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox

2. Create a simple text file: 

$ echo "Hello world" > ~/test.txt

3. Attempt to open the file: 

$ open -a ~/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -file ~/test.txt

Result:
-------

The running browser should have a new tab created with the contents of ~/test.txt displayed in the tab.

Not sure if this needs wanted1.9.1?, but setting to reflect the fact that this needs to go with that branch.
