As part of a broader automation refactor, we are consolidating all of
the test harness preferences in one place. Storing them as a string in a
python file is less than ideal, so as a first step the preferences in
automation.py.in have been moved to testing/profiles/prefs_general.js [1].
Note that only mochitest, leaktest and profileserver used these prefs.
Reftest and xpcshell have their own prefs in separate locations which
will also be moving in the future.
Consolidating preferences into files will allow us to be more flexible
with which preferences get used by which harness / build configurations.
It will also make it easier to find for people unfamiliar with the
various harnesses.
Thanks,
Andrew
