850686 - Remove unused marionette smoke tests

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Remote Protocol :: Marionette, defect)

Description

[Marshall Culpepper [:marshall_law]]

There's a few bugs that are currently being worked around in the WebQA automation:

* /cache/recovery gets removed during the FOTA "flash" update, and should be recursively created after flash is completed successfully. To work around this, I forcefully "mkdir -p /cache/recovery" every time in the Jenkins job

* If the --tests argument isn't provided to run-smoketests.py, you see this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./gecko/testing/marionette/update-smoketests/run-smoketests.py", line 56, in <module>
    main()
  File "./gecko/testing/marionette/update-smoketests/run-smoketests.py", line 42, in main
    for test in args.tests:
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

Marshall, is there anything to you need in order to resolve these issues?

Comment 2

[Marshall Culpepper [:marshall_law]]

Nope -- I actually have a patch to address these, but got side-tracked digging into the issue with initially running the update smoketests. I'll go ahead and post my patch.

I also added a new venv wrapper to fix the mozdevice errors we were seeing for
local testing.

We shouldn't need to clone mozbase and run setup_development.py any longer.  Marionette's setup.py has the correct dependencies, so running python setup.py develop on it (below) should be sufficient.  (If run-smoketests.py or stage-update.py ever consume mozbase packages that Marionette doesn't, then you might still need to do that step, but currently they don't.)

Can/do these need to be adapted for Inaris, and landed?

I think these tests are (very likely!) still valuable, so yes; though we should move them to Unagis, if we can, as Tony and others tell me that's currently the best platform for 1.x, going forward.

cc:ing a few folks who might be interested in picking this up.

[David Burns :automatedtester]

Was this ever landed?

Comment 11

[David Burns :automatedtester]

Jonathan,

Do you know if these tests are still run? If not then we perhaps we can see about deleting this from the tree.

Comment 12

[Marshall Culpepper [:marshall_law]]

Pretty sure these tests were abandoned, can't recall if this was landed or not, but I don't think so

Comment 13

[Jonathan Griffin (:jgriffin)]

These aren't run; we can delete them.
