Minor update. It was pointed out that other list-like manifestparser
attributes (like head and support-files) are whitespace delimited
instead of comma delimited. To be consistent I switched tags to
whitespace delimitation as well.
E.g both these forms are ok:
[test_foo.html]
tags = foo bar baz
[test_bar.html]
tags =
foo
bar
baz

As of bug 987360, you can now run all tests with a given tag for
mochitest (and variants), xpcshell and marionette based harnesses. Tags
can be applied to either individual tests, or the DEFAULT section in
manifests. Tests can have multiple tags, in which case they should be
comma delimited. To run all tests with a given tag, pass in --tag <tag
name> to the mach command.
For example, let's say we want to group all mochitest-plain tests
related to canvas together. First we'd add a 'canvas' tag to the DEFAULT
section in
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/canvas/test/mochitest.ini
[DEFAULT]
tags = canvas
We notice there is also a canvas related test under dom/media, namely:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/media/test/mochitest.ini#541
Let's pretend it is already tagged with the 'media' tag, but that's ok,
we can add a second tag no problem:
[test_video_to_canvas.html]
tags = media,canvas
Repeat above for any other tests or manifests scattered in the tree that
are related to canvas. Now we can run all mochitest-plain tests with:
./mach mochitest-plain --tag canvas
You can also run the union of two tags by specifying --tag more than
once (though the intersection of two tags is not supported):
./mach mochitest-plain --tag canvas --tag media
So far the xpcshell (./mach xpcshell-test --tag name) and marionette
(./mach marionette-test --tag name) commands are also supported. Reftest
is not supported as it has its own special manifest format.
Applying tags to tests will not affect automation or other people's
tags. So each organization or team should feel free to use tags in
whatever creative ways they see fit. Eventually, we'll start using tags
as a foundation for some more advanced features and analysis. For
example, we may implement a way to run all tests with a given tag across
multiple different suites.
If you have any questions or things aren't working, please let me know!
Cheers,
Andrew
