Notes from mw22 during Test Automation meeting
jmaher: hang in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680190 jemalloc jimm chen josh matthews
- going through mochitests. Patches for Content/ done, now going through dom/. A lot of stuff needs to be converted to
specialpowers
- if the tests are hanging, not going quick enough, they are
disabled for now
- last day 2 september
- who is going to take over? someone from A-team?
jmaher
- xpcshell landed
- SpecialPowers want to land, related to Josh stuff. set Prefs synchrounously
- Refactoring specialpowers to get it working in Chrome. Getting leaks fixed
- talos crash, workaround it? getinfo failure?
- WaitForFocus patch works great, bug 670897
- devicemanager adb, xpcshell, integrated into talos. Easier to
run talos on device without sutagent. Need to turn all the releng tools, devicemanager
- create remote talos option. To look into after talos has adb
device manager into it. Might want to get the sut tools deployed first
