Bug 1122187 added a wrapper around Services.appinfo to access certain information. If we want access to other members of appinfo in our tests, we could add a more general facility for mirroring JavaScript objects in our testing libraries. I think this could be a reasonable place to use Python's __getattr__ (Python's answer to "method_missing", see [1]), so long as attempts to access members that aren't in Services.appinfo are appropriately handled with an AttributeError. [1] https://docs.python.org/2/reference/datamodel.html#object.__getattr__

The code Chris is referring to can be found at: https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-ui-tests/blob/master/firefox_puppeteer/api/appinfo.py Something we additionally would like to have are e.g. the locale and the XPCOMABI values. References for those can be found here: http://hg.mozilla.org/qa/mozmill-tests/file/b21a5be35480/lib/utils.js#l23 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Mozmill_tests/Shared_Modules/UtilsAPI/appInfo

I would like to work on this. Would you elaborate more?

This would be a great but to start with on this project. I would start with getting the firefox-ui-tests repo from github: https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-ui-tests the link that Henrik pointed to is good information to ensure you read up on. All of the values that utils.js has for appInfo (as mentioned in the links above) should be accessible from the firefox-ui-tests/.../appinfo.py file. Ideally we would have some tests that would validate we can query these values. I am sure I overlooked something obvious, so ask questions if something isn't clear.

I am getting this error in all the tests: AttributeError: 'Marionette' object has no attribute 'current_chrome_window_handle' Did I miss something in the setup?

Ankit, are you on the latest version of marionette-client? It should be 0.87 as listed here: https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-ui-tests/blob/master/setup.py#L9 Also please ensure to test with latest Nightly and not an Aurora, Beta, or Release of Firefox.

Oh, and thanks for your interest to work on this bug!

Oops, my marionette-client was outdated. I am studying code at the moment. Would start working soon.

I don't know, it may be of relevance or not but setup.py contain only `install_requires` dependencies. It should also contain `setup_requires` for specific dependencies.

Not sure what setup_requires is, and I have a hard time to find any reference to that. Can you please elaborate?

As mentioned in docs at https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-ui-tests/, to setup the firefox-ui-tests we have to run the following command: `python setup.py develop` Now we have `install_requires` kwargs at https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-ui-tests/blob/master/setup.py#L33, which will get these dependencies(https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-ui-tests/blob/master/setup.py#L10) only when we execute `python setup.py install`. To support these explicit dependencies for `python setup.py develop`, we need to use another kwargs `setup_requires`. That's why I was getting outdated version of marionette-client. The code will look something like this at https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-ui-tests/blob/master/setup.py#L33: >> ip_safe=False, >> install_requires=deps, >> setup_requires=deps, >> entry_points="""

No, the problem was that we haven't released a version of marionette-client for a long time, and API breaking changes in Marionette were introduced. For a faster development pace we were relying on a marionette-client version in mozilla-central (http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/marionette/client/). But given and as your example shows this was a problem, so we released version 0.87 lately. The reason why you got 0.86 was that our setup.py had still a dependency to marionette-client 0.86 listed, but the version in mozilla-central was bumped to 0.87. So even you tried to install the client from that location, it would have been downgraded when running setup.py for firefox-ui-tests. But since we have uploaded version 0.87 to pypi all is fine.

Henrik, a dumb question. How to use pupetteer?

It looks like Chris missed to add a unit test for it. So lets give some examples how to use it. As best is if you take another test as template for the required appinfo unit test. All the unit tests you can find here: https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-ui-tests/tree/master/firefox_puppeteer/tests I would suggest you check test_prefs.js which is also a unit test for an API module. Via puppeteer we automatically create a class instance and attach it to the FirefoxTestCase class. So to access the appinfo data you have to use `self.appinfo`, which is an instance of AppInfo as it can be found here: https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-ui-tests/blob/master/firefox_puppeteer/api/appinfo.py#L8 To only run the unit tests you can pass in the path to firefox_puppeteer/tests/manifest as argument of the firefox-ui-tests command line client.

thanks :whimboo for helping out here!

I will address the issue with spaces. `browserTabsRemoteAutostart` is a property of AppInfo, which is also coming from `Services.appinfo`. So __getattr__ will take of this too.

Thanks Ankit. It would be nice to have some unittests verify we can get all the AppInfo properties :) We can wait for :whimboo to comment on how those should look. Is there any existing code that uses browserTabsRemoteAutostart? If so, it would need to be updated, right?

Joel, there is no need for updation. After applying patch, if you call appinfo.browserTabsRemoteAutoStart, it will call __getattr__(), which will execute Service.appinfo['appinfo.browserTabsRemoteAutoStart']. Earlier, if you call appinfo.browserTabsRemoteAutoStart, it will call _get_property(), which will execute Service.appinfo['appinfo.browserTabsRemoteAutoStart']. So the end result is same as before.

Ankit great! If you could update your patch to fix the tabs to be spaces, that would be good

But as Joel already mentioned please add a new test for it. It has to be similar as test_prefs.py which you can find under firefox_puppeteer/tests. Also we need a doc string for the AppInfo class, which explains what it is doing. Best would be if you could add a reference to the appinfo documentation on MDN (https://developer.mozilla.org)

How the values have to be validated? Do i have to assert against None values only or validate if the values are correct?

Ankit, The values could be different based on the platform, buildtype. I would make a best effort to get the values you get as well as verifying the values are not None.

I could use mozversion to verify values, but that would requires access to `--binary`. So how can I access `--binary` cmd line arg in my test case?

We cannot compare all of the values we get via appinfo with output from mozversion. So not sure if we should require such deep tests. At least what would be necessary is to test that for any kind of property we are requesting, data is returned and no exception raised. Also add a negative test with an unknown property, so we can ensure to raise the correct exception type. In case if you want to add some checks for mozversion, you can get the binary via `self.marionette.bin` inside the unit test.

(In reply to Ankit Goyal from comment #33) > For getting userAgent, I need access to mozmill. How do do that? The first line of that function simply gets the most recent browser window. But thinking more about it to make it more stable, especially in case if no browser window is open, I found another good way to get this information. The HTTPProtocolHandler provides it for us for free: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/netwerk/protocol/http/UserAgentOverrides.jsm#18 Just take those three lines and put them into a execute_script() call. > > with self.marionette.using_context('chrome'): > > + value = self.marionette.execute_script(""" > > + return Services.appinfo[arguments[0]]; > > Services.appinfo is not throwing any exception, if an unknown argument is > passed.
