For bug 1357513, I want to implement a new "test verification" feature, such that, when a new test is added, or a test is modified, it is subjected to additional verification. In support of that goal, in bug 1380122, I want to enhance mozharness to recognize when a new/modified file is a test file. To do that, mozharness must be able to parse manifests, so I need to access the mozbase manifestparser from mozharness.

This just adds a copy of manifestparser - from testing/mozbase/manifestparser in mozilla-central - to mozharness. This mirrors what has been done for other mozbase modules, like mozinfo and mozprocess, required in mozharness. Of course I don't like to see files copied like this, but I don't see a viable alternative.

Comment on attachment 8885436 [details] [diff] [review] add a copy of manifestparser to mozharness Review of attachment 8885436 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- I'm going to just stamp this, with the one comment that I'd prefer if you do `hg copy` rather than simply `cp ..; hg add ...` so that the history is retained, along with this commit message. I'm not a big fan of this copy either but I don't know of a better solution offhand.

Thanks. Going ahead with 'hg copy'...
