TIL Running Gaia tests on Try.

27 Mar 2014 - Toronto, ON

After getting some Gaia unit test failures on Try when one of my pull requests was merged in, I discovered how to use Try to test my pull request branch myself. This is a pretty important time saver for myself and anyone else who has to deal with my mistakes. So here are the instructions:

Prerequisits:

Commit Level 1
Have your [pull request] Gaia branch handy.
Have a local mercurual repository for mozilla central.

Instructions:

You need to modify the following file in your mozilla central source b2g/config/gaia.json from:

{
    "git": {
        "git_revision": "",
        "remote": "",
        "branch": ""
    },
    "revision": "57c407d3e94ba322688b4bd121eda317806ab44e", // Current rev.
    "repo_path": "/integration/gaia-central"
}

{
    "git": {
        "git_revision": "",
        // Replace with your own gaia remote.
        "remote": "https://github.com/yzen/gaia.git",
        // Replace with the [pull request] branch you want to test.
        "branch": "969553"
    },
    "revision": "57c407d3e94ba322688b4bd121eda317806ab44e", // Current rev.
    "repo_path": "/integration/gaia-central"
}

The correct trychooser message is:

try: -b o -p linux64_gecko,linux32_gecko,macosx64_gecko -u all -t none

That's it! When you push to Try, the tests will run against your branch instead of the current /integration/gaia-central revision.
