830585 - Expose value of MOZ_WIDGET_GONK to marionette clients

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Remote Protocol :: Marionette, defect)

Description

[Jed Parsons (use needinfo, please) [:jedp, :jparsons]]

It would be helpful for some marionette tests to know whether they are running locally on b2g desktop or on the device.

The symbol MOZ_WIDGET_GONK is defined when b2g is built for device.

It would be super awesome to be able to get the value of MOZ_WIDGET_GONK from marionette.

I think I'll expose this via getSessionCapabilities: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/marionette/marionette-actors.js#505

Looks like we can detect this indirectly, already.

>>> import marionette
>>> m = marionette.Marionette()
>>> m.session_capabilities
{u'rotatable': True, u'takesScreenshot': False, u'appBuildId': u'20130110064000', u'cssSelectorsEnabled': True, u'javascriptEnabled': True, u'XULappId': u'{3c2e2abc-06d4-11e1-ac3b-374f68613e61}', u'platform': u'Android', u'browserName': u'B2G', u'version': u'18.0', u'nativeEvents': False, u'handlesAlerts': False}

For device builds (both emulator and physical devices), 'platform' == 'Android'.  For B2G desktop builds, 'platform' == 'Linux' (or whatever).  Let me know if this is enough for you.

That seems like it will be fine for my purposes!  I'm happy to leave it at that.

Thanks very much!
