842321 - Test runner should make .xpi with tests and run from it.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Irakli Gozalishvili [:irakli] [:gozala] [@gozala]]

At the moment `test/addons` are the right way to test, but that requires quite a boilerplate. We should just make fake add-on with test files and run each test as main module, so we get a same behavior as `test/addons` but don't necessary have to write package.json etc..

We are now half way here. Now, each test runs in its own loader as main module.

Hey Irakli, do you still want to do this one?  based on a recent discussion on #jetpack in irc:

14:06:51 <•gozala> erikvold: I guess what I'm saying I want to do as much as possible on the sdk side
14:07:11 <•gozala> so node could just spawn a process and let the firefox process do what's neceserray
14:08:31 <•gozala> for example running each add-on as test is something we could do on the sdk side itself

I think we can close this one & reopen if it will be necessary, but likely we end up going a different route.
