943500 - Should run startup / load tests against Chrome weekly on Galaxy Nexus

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 772951

(Testing Graveyard :: Eideticker, defect)

Description

[William Lachance (:wlach)]

blassey requested that we run the startup / load tests (well, specifically the nytimes-load test but it would be logical to do all of them) on a weekly basis against the latest version of Android Chrome.

This wouldn't be that hard to do, so let's do it. There are two components to this bug:

(1) Replace the manual version of Chrome currently installed on the phone with the one available in the Play store, and make sure auto-updates are enabled (Play store -> Settings -> Auto update apps). This requires physical access to the phone which I do not have.
(2) Update the cronjob to do a run of eideticker against the currently installed version of Chrome once a week.

Note that we may have to occasionally update Chrome manually if the permissions required by the app change. I can live with that.

Hi Stephen,

Can you go into hax0r and perform step (1) when you get the chance (this isn't super super urgent or anything, would be nice to do this week if you have time?). I can take things from there.

If Raymond can get to it today, that'd be great; otherwise, I should be back in the office tomorrow, and able to do so!

The Google Play app on the Galaxy Nexus has not account tied to it, I was therefore unable to download the latest version fo the Chrome app from the store. 

William do you have an account I can use?

For the digital "paper trail," I used the "QA Fennec" account listed here: https://intranet.mozilla.org/QA:Gmail_test_account, and have complete step (1) from comment 0 on the Galaxy Nexus.

The rest of the work needed to do this bug is still pending... just haven't had time yet...
