521458 - [shared module] Need a Helper Function for information on the app

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla QA Graveyard :: Mozmill Tests, defect)

Description

[Aakash Desai [:aakashd]]

Right now, we have to use:

 http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/xpcom/system/nsIXULAppInfo.idl

...in order to access any information about the app. This coincides with any testscript that accesses a pref with %APP% field in the value as well as update testing.

This patch adds a appInfo object to the UtilsAPI which can be used to retrieve a couple of application specific information.

Patch v1

Looks good. My only question would be how would this be implemented onto my review-set testscript on bug 521499 ?

Mass move of Mozmill Test related project bugs to newly created components. You can filter out those emails by using "Mozmill-Tests-to-MozillaQA" as criteria.
