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.)
Obviously any test harness not yet supported in mach wouldn't have its
make targets removed :)
We'd probably offer a grace period where both methods still work before
transitioning new test suites over. Initially, I'm thinking of targeting
xpcshell, all the mochitest flavors, and possibly reftests (although I
believe the mach reftest command is still missing some features).
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?
Please.
