I'm leaving the mars as is for now since leaving the add-cc and remove-cc instructions tests that these changes leave the channel-prefs.js file alone.

Is this patch ready for review?

Comment 8

[Robert Strong (they/them - no direct email)]

I need to update it for a couple of the recent changes and verify that all tests pass first.

Should be good to go. I am pushing to try just to make sure the service tests pass before landing.

I pushed this to elm to try to run 2 consecutive Nightlies and make sure they can upgrade, but it's causing tests to fail on elm.
Please see here:
https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Elm

Also please let me know if you can reproduce it locally so I can back it out of Elm for the moment. I haven't tried locally.

FILE_CHANNELCHANGE is not being removed from this file but is no longer used. Please remove.
- const FILE_CHANNELCHANGE  = "channelchange";

Also please remove these comments:

- // If the user changes the update channel there can be leftover files from
- // a previous download so clean the updates directory for manual checks.
+ // For manual checks, if force is specified then clean the updates directory

Finally had a chance to look at what was going on... the new tests were relying on the channel change file and this should fix it. Running it through try

Code changes look good, I am going to try an update on elm first though before marking as r+.
