933444 - Add an --install-extension option to mach mochitests

Status: NEW

(Testing :: Mochitest, defect)

Description

[Tanvi Vyas[:tanvi]]

Mochitests previously had a command line option to install an extension before a test ran (--install-extension).  Since the old way of running mochitests is being decommissioned for mach, please add an install extension option to mach.

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

Thank you!

This is outside of my area of expertise - jmaher or gps can probably best answer this :-)

really we should ensure that all mochitest options are exposed in mach- and I would prefer if we didn't have to duplicate all code to define these options.

This code will need to be done in the mach_commands.py, not the mochitest harness.

We could get creative and have the mochitest runner expose a "populate argument parser" function. Then, we just need a mechanism inside mach's command dispatch logic to call out to said function.
