Just a heads up: In an effort to help facilitate code mirroring between
mozilla-central and the mozbase project
(https://wiki.mozilla.org/Auto-tools/Projects/MozBase), I've moved most
of the python device manager files used for mobile testing (both for
Android and B2G) from `build/mobile` to `testing/mozbase/mozdevice`. For
more information on the rationale for this change see
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723107
Note that while the locations have changed, the build logic is still the
same. All the Android and B2G tests you have come to know and love
should continue to run as normal. ;)
This is probably a good point to also plug the mozdevice library, which
is now available on pypi (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mozdevice/0.6). If
you're writing standalone scripts that involve interacting with an
Android or B2G device it can really save a lot of time. As an example,
here's a script which starts up a copy of Firefox with a custom profile
on a Android device connected with ADB:
import mozprofile
import mozdevice
profile = mozprofile.Profile(preferences =
{'toolkit.telemetry.prompted': 2})
profile_dir = "/".join([device.getDeviceRoot(),
os.path.basename(profile.profile)])
if not device.pushDir(profile.profile, remote_profile_dir):
raise Exception("Failed to copy profile to device")
device = mozdevice.DroidADB()
device.launchFennec('org.mozilla.fennec_wlach',
url="http://wrla.ch";, extraArgs = ["-profile", profile_dir]])
If you have more questions about using or contributing to mozdevice,
feel free to ping me (:wlach) in irc.mozilla.org #ateam.
Will
