916650 - [marionette-debug] Show the screenshot images in Firefox

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Testing Graveyard :: JSMarionette, defect)

Description

[Evan Tseng [:evanxd]]

We would like to implement the "marionette-debug" plug-in for debugging purpose when write integration tests.

And we could show the images on Firefox with following script:

client.plugin('debug', require('marionette-debug'));
// create a html file contained the screenshot image
client.debug.screenshot();
// show the image on Firefox
client.debug.showScreenshot();

Hi James,

I think we don't need the showScreenshot function for just showing screenshots on Firefox when the server URL is not given.

The server URL must be given.
And we could just run the server will be implemented in Bug 916652 in local. And if the local IP is given, the images will be posted to the local server.

Then we could just open Firefox to browse the server to see the screenshots.
How do you think?

sounds good to me but it makes it more complicated because we cannot run the server in the same process as the tests with good results. I will file another bug about this so we can improve marionette-js-runner's 
hooks.
