660923 - Need an override-resolution option for remote reftest

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 648104

(Testing :: Reftest, defect)

Description

[cmtalbert]

We need the ability to override the resolution restriction for reftest.  Developers can run *some* tests with the lower resolution just for a sanity check before pushing to try/central/etc.

Currently the only way to run reftests without a tegra involves commenting out code in remotereftest.py (line 413).  Having to comment out code is not good.

this is a slippery slope because we could run with a non supported resolution and get a bunch of failures that will waste developer time.  

I would rather fix this problem first:

yeah, I agree.  I had thought about this more after I filed it and I agree with you.
