We should have automated front-end tests on CI that exercise the navigator.id methods through the Persona dialog as presented in the Trusty UI on gecko. To accomplish this, I believe three things are required, in three separate code bases, which we can track with this bug: 1. [gecko] a way to allow synthetic events by pref (see Bug 822450) 2. [gaia] a test_app to expose native functions 3. [gaia-ui-tests] marionette tests to poke at gaia test app

I'd actually suggest starting simple first to get a sanity smoke test first that allows a login into persona in a trusted UI. Then tackle the depth of the tests you suggest. If I wasn't so backlogged on due to late landing features I'd help out here (I actually started on this a bit back, but didn't finish).

That's actually exactly what I want to do, start simple, and have a strong foundation to build on. I just mention the three components because there is code needed in each: In gecko the synthetic events workaround; In gaia, a test_app for exercising nav.id; In gaia-ui-tests, the actual tests.) I'm currently trying to figure out how to translate what I can do in a python shell with marionette into a GaiaTestCase context. Should have a gaia-ui-test PR soon. In the mean time, my gaia-ui-tests wip is: https://github.com/jedp/gaia-ui-tests/commit/1bc90ec27eb8612ace7341ead1238ad7d83d02a6 For a gaia test app, I have submitted this PR: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/pull/7056 For gecko, I have a patch in Bug 822450 So the pieces are almost all in place

A lot has changed in the past six months. Edwin and I are getting together in two days to revise these tests and add new ones according to zac's guidelines.

I think this bug got stale. There have been gaia-ui-tests running for identity for months now. I'm going to close this. Please re-open if I'm in error.
