Comment on attachment 783379 [details] [diff] [review] Test fixup part 1 - dom/plugins Try shows that i missed reftest & crashtest.
Attachment #783379 - Flags: review?(benjamin)
Next attempt, this should fix everything i've seen fail so far: https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=fdbd28d07d5b
Whiteboard: [needs Mozmill test update]
I'm not sure what, if any, the effect on mozmill will be; perhaps :whimboo could comment as to that (or :davehunt)?
Via ctalbert this will require mozmill updates but is not extra-ordinary compared to other UI changes. I'm not sure if i'm supposed to file a separate bug, just flagged it for needing mozmill test updates for now.
Looking good on try now: https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=768e28e89e97 Patches coming up here later.
This sets the test plugins to enabled for reftests & crashtests. As those tests don't have special powers it's probably best to support their current behavior and make tests for click-to-play behavior etc. mochitests. jmaher, i see you've previously review changes for reftest.js, so trying you first.

Unsurprisingly, the biggest set of test-changes is in dom/plugins. Updating them so they all set the plugin enabled state to what they need.

(In reply to Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (Mozilla Corporation) from comment #13) > Can we make the test plugin always be exempt from click-to-play? Except for > the tests that are explicitly testing click-to-play? We can probably always set it to enabled up in the test harness, but to me it seemed best having the tests set the state they expect explicitly (especially with defaults possibly changing or state set unexpectedly from previous tests). I'm not fixed on that though if that's undesired.

Can do, but note this would just move the assumption from one function to another. Note that if we'd ever change the name of the test plugin (unlikely) we would have to fix quite a few places across the code-base.

We use the "nice" plugin name to find its tag, not the filename, so this works across platforms.

Comment on attachment 784885 [details] [diff] [review] Test fixup part 2 - dom/plugins I don't mind setting the pref for each test, but we do need to set it back to its original value when the test completes. I'd add a function in utils.js to use SimpleTest.registerCleanupFunction to set and reset the value all in one function.

Moved setting and cleanup to one helper function. This should cover everything now. I'll probably hold off with everything until after you're back from PTO?

The current state for all tests (apart from the tests explicitly testing click-to-play) is that they expect the plugin to be enabled. It seems to me that any tests that are trying to test plugins, other than testing click-to-play, would want the plugin to be enabled. I don't see why we'd ever want to change that default for tests.

I don't see why we'd > ever want to change that default for tests. Shouldn't our tests avoid assuming non-default behavior where possible? Otherwise we might get surprised later. As long as it's a reasonable effort we can explicitly state per-test what behavior it expects (which makes reading and updating settings easier later on as well). The only bigger amount of changes for this is in dom/plugins, all other modules don't have an unreasonable amount of changes for this (e.g. the ones in browser/ already set up their expected plugin states).

The only plugin we make use of in our Mozmill tests is Flash at the moment. So I don't think anything has to be changed. But thanks for noting this change! I really appreciate that.

The test has an "expected events" object: https://hg.mozilla.org/try/file/38ecf3a69e9e/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/test/xpcshell/test_plugins.js#l113 So it only expects to receive "onDiabling" and "onDisabled" for the test plugin. But it appears that PluginProvider.jsm is also firing an "onPropertyChanged" -> "userDisabled" event: https://hg.mozilla.org/try/file/38ecf3a69e9e/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/PluginProvider.jsm#l343 If that's expected/normal, then we just need to add that to the expected event array in the test.

For victims of Scandinavian banks, lame old plugin-based courseware, etc., how is the usability of CtP? Please point me to other bugs if not tracked here via blocking bugs. /be
We believe usability for most things that aren't hidden Flash to be very good now, but I've got telemetry for the UI interactions which I'll use to verify some assumptions we've made along the way. firefox-dev has most of the UX design history. Bug 738698 is the metabug and http://people.mozilla.com/~lco/CtP/current/130415%20CtP%20design%20spec.pdf is the most recent UX spec.

Just create an enableTestPlugin.js somewhere so that just the act of including that script enabled the test plugin without further API calls. I don't care where it lives.
