Android.json is a way to enable/disable tests quickly. It allows us to specify which tests we want to run (the original use and the b2g case) as well as which test cases we want to ignore. Logic in Makefile.in is not optimal and for large scale changes, requires a lot of additional work. We can now look in one place and find all the test cases which are not able to run instead of looking through 50 or so Makefile.in files. When we do officially switch to manifests for mochitest, there will be less of a need for this. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
