668452 - Make it easier for non-Mozilla devs to get and use the JavaScript Debug Shell

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Gary Kwong [:gkw] [:nth10sd] (NOT official MoCo now)]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #543463 +++

Now that we have an opt js shell being built, why not have a debug version appearing in the -debug/ folders as well?

The main benefit is that this will help regression testing for js assertions.

I see:

Are you thinking about something else?

I think I was referring to these directories. The corresponding opt dirs have jsshell files in .zip format though.

Ah. Then this is just fallout from the way bug 400083 is implemented.

Attachment: also copy jsshell files to the nightly debug archive (tested)

just because i hate regexes...have adjusted this to also pick up the jsshell files per platform.

also copy jsshell files to the nightly debug archive (tested)

landed: http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/rev/96bbe6d5b09f

updated the hg-build-tools clone on ffxbld@stage so that the next run of this script will copy over the necessary files.

please reopen if this doesn't occur for some reason and I'll look into it.
