957380 - xpcshell harness doesn't identify which manifest a test came from

Status: NEW

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Gregory Szorc [:gps]]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #920849 +++

As reported in bug 920849, the xpcshell harness isn't clear about which manifest a test came from. Tests defined in a shared manifest (namely toolkit/mozapps/extensions/test/xpcshell/xpcshell-shared.ini) show up twice in output and people don't know if the packed or unpacked version failed.

We should change the test runner output to capture which manifest the test came from.

This *may* impact error strings and cause orange factor and other automated agents relying on string matching to get all fussy. We should proceed with caution.

Attachment: Report source manifest during xpcshell test execution

This patch will change the output formatting to include the manifest
file. I'm pretty some unit tests will fail. But local developers can use
this to debug failures in the addon manager tests.
