984951 - Disable the warning when running the tests against a desktop b2g build

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Remote Protocol :: Marionette, defect)

Description

[(no longer active)]

When running the tests against a desktop b2g build, I get:

$ gaiatest --binary=~/moz/src/obj-b2g-dbg.noindex/dist/B2GDebug.app/Contents/MacOS/b2g --profile=~/moz/gaia/profile --testvars=testvars.json --restart --type=b2g ./gaiatest/tests/tbpl-manifest.ini

I don't think this warning makes a lot of sense when I'm trying to run the tests against an empty profile on b2g-desktop.  :-)

Some users might have special settings or stuff installed in the profile they use.

This warning was added to prevent loosing that data so I think it would be a bad idea of removing this.

@davehunt Is this correct? Should we add a exception for desktop?

If --restart and --profile are specified then we clone the profile and use that, so we should be able to safely remove this warning.

All these bits have been whisked away into the test runner where we can't break them so changing the component to reflect that.

Closing out B2G related bugs. If these still happen and are valuable, please reopen with details again and how this affects Desktop/Fennec
