Topics for This Week

UI Test Code
The front-end team started looking into ways to improve the way we write UI (Robocop) tests. Goals include: Providing building blocks to make it easier to write tests, Find ways to improve reliability of tests and update to additional frameworks so test can be split into UI and non-UI parts. See Lucas' mailing list post for more background and ways to help.
GeckoView Status
Shane Tully and Brad Lassey have been working on patches, and landing a few. We are in a much better place and Finkle has picked up the ball a bit to propose some embedding interfaces and APIs. See the mailing list post for more details. We'd like to get more feedback before committing to the initial embedding plan.

Chris Kitching

  • Performnce
    • bug 794981 - Stopped segfaulting. Patches almost no longer annoying reviewers - soon able to generate many of the entry points to Java from C. Relatively simple follow-up bug can expand the scope of the solution to generate more (Ideally essentially all) of them.
  • Preferences revamp
    • bug 888326 - Favicon caching madness ends up blocking all other work in this area. Several patches almost ready for review to solve this.
    • bug 911604 - Minor fallout from previous work.
    • bug 907917 - Filed: Long-standing assertion problem with search engine customisation. Nonsimple to fix.
  • Other
    • bug 907918 - Minor tweak to search-with-selection.
    • bug 908457 - Deleting duplicate entries from makefile.


Once 888326 is resolved, 895423 is solved essentially for free and work can resume on the addons customisation side of things (Which also depends on this work for its UI). Once 794981 lands, A followup bug will be created for the remaining work towards making Proguard less impossible. (Certainly, it now appears to be quite doable to have Proguard and not have to either maim performance or annotate hundreds of things. The above comments neglect Robocop - this still needs sorting out (Quite possibly just ignoring in the first pass)). No longer stuck!
