590195 - ProfileManager should have a full xpcshell test suite

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing Graveyard :: ProfileManager, defect)

Description

[Jeff Hammel]

There are no tests for ProfileManager....and there should be!  I don't see any need for continuous integration or anything fancy at this point in time, but a nice set of unit/integration tests would go some ways to ensure against regressions.  

See http://k0s.org/mozilla/hg/ProfileManager/file/tip/profilemanager/tests/test.py for a very basic example for the python straw man

I'm imagining a script that uses the command line interface.  If other options are taken, bug 586003 should not block

A very minimal implementation is done:

http://hg.mozilla.org/automation/profilemanager/file/d27926f11d60/tests/testCLI.py

This should be extended and probably made more functional as well.  In addition, xpcshell tests should be written.

I'll leave this bug open for now mostly as a reminder for xpcshell tests.  If no action is taken in a finite time window, its probably better to close and move on.

ProfileManager now support xpcshell tests, a couple of simple ones are at http://hg.mozilla.org/automation/profilemanager/file/tip/xpcshell/unit.

More tests still need to be written!

We now have xpcshell tests for all the main internal API's.  I'll continue to add/modify tests as needed, but am marking this as finished for now.
