748663 - Add Firefox tracking flags to Mozilla QA / Mozmill Tests component

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Administration, task)

To have a better way in tracking the status of Mozmill tests across branches we want to have the same tracking/status flags as the Firefox/Toolkit component has. That way we can track work for a test of a specific branch.

Thanks Glob! Looks great.

Glob, so we do not have the privileges to set any of the tracking flags to '+'. I assume that's because it's only allowed for Firefox drivers? Does this setting affect any component those flags are used? If yes, we should probably remove the tracking flags and only let the status flags remain.

correct; those flags are only settable by the firefox drivers.

> Does this setting affect any component those flags are used?

i'm not sure what you're asking here.  if a flag is set, it's set for only that bug.  the behavour of the flags is the same regardless of component.

currently that isn't possible; both sets of flags are either visible or not.

of course it's possible to write code that will provide this ability, however i'm slightly concerned about the added complexity this would add.

how do you feel about just ignoring those fields?

In this case it sounds fine. Lets leave those in and ignore them. Thanks Byron.
