Hello Governance!
tl;dr I want to propose adding a new module to maintain marionette js tools.
Some of this looks much nicer when it's rendered as markdown, so I've
included a link[20] for those who'd prefer that.
A small group of gaia hackers have been hard at work over the past few
months in order to supply developers with end-to-end test tooling. I've
included a summary[1] of our work as well as documentation[2] for test
writers. Since I find it easier sometimes to read inlined information in
emails, I'll go ahead and mirror some of the high-level from the summary
here in my description of the components for which the module would be
responsible. Please forgive me for any duplication!
The module would be responsible for maintaining a number of small,
loosely coupled projects that have culminated in a product that helps js
hackers write end-to-end tests for things that run on gecko and need to
access privileged (ie chrome) and non-standard features. Our tools
leverage existing a-team work on the marionette server[3]. In our work,
we targeted Firefox OS developers (including webapp developers), but
there's no reason that other groups such as add-on developers couldn't
be consumers.
The related projects are (grouped by category):
### Test Harness ###
+ Marionette JS Runner[4]
+ Mocha JSON Proxy[5]
+ Mocha TBPL Reporter[6]
### Marionette Client ###
- JSON Wire Protocol[7]
- Marionette JS Client[8]
- Socket Retry Connect[9]
- Sockit To Me[10]
### Marionette Plugins ###
- Marionette Apps[11]
- Marionette JS Logger[12]
### Host Environment ###
- Marionette B2G Desktop Host[13]
- Marionette Firefox Host[14]
- Mozilla Download[15]
- Mozilla Runner[16]
### Profile Generation ###
- Marionette Profile Builder[17]
- Mozilla Profile Builder[18]
- Packaged Webapp[19]
I also feel compelled to recognize all of the wonderful people who
contributed (listed below in alphabetical order).
- Gareth Aye <gaye>
- Ganesh Ghosh <gghosh>
- Jonathan Griffin <jgriffin>
- Michael Henretty <mhenretty>
- Ghislain "Aus" Lacroix <auswerk>
- James Lal <lightsofapollo>
- Mike Pennisi <jugglinmike>
- Evan Tseng <evanxd>
James Lal deserves particular mention. He has been hacking on some of
these projects on and off for over a year now and has done an incredible
job architecting our tools, organizing related work, and involving other
contributors. Thanks James!
James and I would volunteer to be the initial module owners and would
invite auswerk, evanxd, and jugglinmike (each of whom have contributed a
significant amount of project code) to join us as module peers.
