789086 - mochitest/runtestsremote.py uses fixed name robotium.config file

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: Mochitest, defect)

Description

[Bob Clary [:bc] (inactive)]

fHandle = open("robotium.config", "w")
        fHandle.write("profile=%s\n" % (mochitest.remoteProfile))
        fHandle.write("logfile=%s\n" % (options.remoteLogFile))
        fHandle.write("host=http://mochi.test:8888/tests\n")
        fHandle.write("rawhost=http://%s:%s/tests\n" % (options.remoteWebServer, options.httpPort))
        fHandle.close()

When running multiple instances of runtestsremote.py under Autophone it is possible to get a conflict with robotium.config.

Generating a unique temporary name, or creating one based on the ip address and port, or specifying one via a command line option will allow us to eliminate the possible collision. Thoughts?

we need the name 'robotium.config' on the device, not necessary on the host.

some options I can think of:
1) create a tmp file and push it to /mnt/sdcard/robotium.config
2) use unique directories for each machine under test (this is what the foopies do)
3) all of the above.
