If that is the case, an app /SHOULD/ be coded to handle the situation of not receiving geolocation or bluetooth. In my opinion, app content doesn't need to know whether it has permission x, y, z. However it would be nice for testing purposes if we knew when a permission was set so that test code could act on that. The tests that Geo, Paul and I are testing with use navigator.mozApps.install.

Here is the code we're using https://people.mozilla.com/~dchan/test-framework.zip I've only tested the above on emulator, but it should work for device You will have to revert part of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773886 until mochitest-chrome support is on the emulator. appProtocolHandler.js needs the protocol flag Ci.nsIProtocolHandler.URI_LOADABLE_BY_ANYONE and not Ci.nsIProtocolHandler.URI_DANGEROUS_TO_LOAD Workflow 1. mochitest runs test_install.html 2. This page installs an app using either install or installPackage The packaged app is currently static, but should be dynamically generated. 3. test_install catches the 'webapps-ask-install' event, and calls browser.CustomEventManager.handleEvent(), which does the actual install 4. an app iframe is created once oninstall fires 5. The app is pointed to the origin of the webapp a webpage is the webapp case and app://{guid} for the packaged case 6. an onload handler postMessages to the iframe so that the iframe can communicate back 7. Tests run in the context of the app iframe and results posted back to the parent It should be possible to install multiple apps with test_install and run them all in separate iframes. > > Would anyone want to see an example where we install an app with > > specific permissions, and then run tests from within that context ? > > > > > > Thanks for the feedback. > > > > > > -David > > _______________________________________________ > > Qa-b2g mailing list > > qa-...@mozilla.org > > https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/qa-b2g > > > _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list dev-b2g@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
