User Story

The goal is to remove this function [1] and this function [2].

To do this, you need to look at all of the call sites in [3] and add the options defined in [1] and [2] to the various parser objects used by the call sites. There are three call sites, mochitest, reftest and xpcshell. Each of these will need to be updated.

automationutils:addCommonOptions is used in a few places, and we have a method of the same name in automation.py.in: http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?q=addCommonOptions&case=true&redirect=true We want to move this out of automationutils (so we can kill it); in the absence of a central option management module, should we just move this into each of the respective harnesses?
+1 to moving them to each individual harness. I believe there are some cases where duplicating stuff is a good thing, and that command line options are one of those cases :). This isn't quite as trivial as some of the other good first bugs, but I think it's pretty do-able and I'd be willing to mentor.

Comment on attachment 8523946 [details] [diff] [review] moved options from AutomationUtils.addCommonOptions to runreftest.py, mochitest_options.py, runxpcshelltests.py Thanks for the patch! Since ahal is mentoring, he is probably in a better position to review this than I am.

Re-submitted the patch for review. The previous patch did not remove the original function addCommonOptions from automationUtils.py and automation.py.in.

Thanks Andrew. Can I remove the lines listed below from runxpcshelltests.py and mochitest_options.py? I don't see it being used anywhere (one I make the changes above) defaults={} defaults['SYMBOLS_PATH'] = None
Yes, please do! :)

I'll push this to our try server just to be safe. In the mean time can you upload one last patch and update the commite message to say "r=ahal" at the end of it?
