Mach and comm-central do not get along at all, due primarily to the twin objdir
issue, although this is something that
will go away once bug 648979 is fixed. The implication for mach xpcshell-test
is that the tests will refuse to run at
all, and, having looked into the issue in detail, I think there is no clean way
to fix it other than by fixing bug
648979, which is likely at least a month away. Note that Thunderbird only runs
xpcshell-tests (plus its own test-suite),
so removing reftests and mochitests would have no objections from me (SeaMonkey
developers may object, though).
I am running "make mozmill" test for locally build thunderbird for close to 10
months to
make TB "a rock solid mail client" (tm) :-), and
so if "make mozmill" doesn't run any more, I would be in trouble.
(Presumably this mozmill test is "its own test suite" which Joshua Cranmer
refers to.)
Mach certainly sounds and seems nice (I tried), but due to the
integration issue between comm-central and mozilla-central (under ./mozilla)
directory,
it still has some rough edges to be used for thunderbird (comm-central), and
as Joshua Cranmer pointed out SeaMonkey developers may have their own ideas.
TB's xpcshell-tests also have TB specific entries and so they should be
preserved as well, btw.
Should I file a bug?
TIA
