718356 - remove Debug > XUL Test Suite menu of failing tests

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[skierpage]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0) Gecko/20120105 Firefox/10.0 SeaMonkey/2.7
Build ID: 20120105142531

Steps to reproduce:

Try anything in the Debug > XUL Test Suite menu that's in my 2.7b3 Linux x64 SeaMonkey build.


Actual results:

Everything in this menu results in XML Parsing Error. I filed bug 718351 , turns out this is by design because Mozilla disallows "XUL elements in a non-XUL remote".


Expected results:

Back in bug 718351, jsicking commented "If you load XUL using chrome:// urls it should work just fine, but you can probably not load these test pages that way without installing them as an addon." Until then it seems there's no point in having this broken submenu in SeaMonkey builds any more.  It's in http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/suite/debugQA/content/debugQAMenuOverlay.xul

Does Mozilla/Gecko support remote XBL these days?
I suggest that (personpower permitting) we repackage these tests into the debugQA XPI.

No, remote XUL is disabled in newer Geckos
