933441 - Update mochitest documentation for mach

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: Mozilla Platform, defect, P5)

Description

[Tanvi Vyas[:tanvi]]

The transition from using make -C to ./mach for Mochitests should be properly documented with examples.

Please update https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mochitest; removing commands that no longer work (like make mochitest-1) and adding the mach replacements (./mach test mochitest-1).

Also, please add documentation on the new --start-at --end-at feature (which is great by the way) - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=931279

Feel free to move this to "Core - mach" if "Testing - Mochitest" is not the right product.

Thanks!

Examples for mochitest-browser, mochitest-browser-chrome, and the new jsdebugger would also be helpful.

Note that paid staff writers will not work on this (it wasn't there priority for years) and that product documentation is now out of scope of MDN, though we will continue to host the existing ones.

Products have to be documented by the product teams nowadays.

The MDN team is no longer actively working on Mozilla Platform docs. Volunteer contributions are welcome.

MDN Web Docs' bug reporting has now moved to GitHub. From now on, please file content bugs at https://github.com/mdn/sprints/issues/ and platform bugs at https://github.com/mdn/kuma/issues/.
