There are three +distinct components that we test: + +* the Marionette **server**, using a combination of xpcshell +unit tests and functional tests written in Python spread across +Marionette- and WPT tests; + +* the Python **client** is tested with the same body of functional +Marionette tests; + +* and the **harness** that backs the Marionette, or `Mn` job on +try, tests is verified using separate mock-styled unit tests. + +All these tests can be run by using [mach]. + +[mach]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/mach + +## xpcshell unit tests + +Marionette has a set of [xpcshell] unit tests located in +_remote/marionette/test/xpcshell. These can be run this way: + +```shell +% ./mach test remote/marionette/test/unit +``` + +Because tests are run in parallel and xpcshell itself is quite +chatty, it can sometimes be useful to run the tests sequentially: + +```shell +% ./mach test --sequential remote/marionette/test/xpcshell/test_error.js +``` + +These unit tests run as part of the `X` jobs on Treeherder. + +[xpcshell]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Writing_xpcshell-based_unit_tests + +## Marionette functional tests + +We also have a set of [functional tests] that make use of the Marionette +Python client. These start a Firefox process and tests the Marionette +protocol input and output, and will appear as `Mn` on Treeherder. +The following command will run all tests locally: + +```shell +% ./mach marionette-test +``` + +But you can also run individual tests: + +```shell +% ./mach marionette-test testing/marionette/harness/marionette_harness/tests/unit/test_navigation.py +``` + +In case you want to run the tests with another binary like [Firefox Nightly]: + +```shell +% ./mach marionette-test --binary /path/to/nightly/firefox TEST +``` + +When working on Marionette it is often useful to surface the stdout +from Gecko, which can be achieved using the `--gecko-log` option. +See [Debugging](Debugging.md) for usage instructions, but the gist is that +you can redirect all Gecko output to stdout: + +```shell +% ./mach marionette-test --gecko-log - TEST +``` + +Our functional integration tests pop up Firefox windows sporadically, +and a helpful tip is to suppress the window can be to use Firefox’ +headless mode: + +```shell +% ./mach marionette-test -z TEST +``` + +`-z` is an alias for the `--headless` flag and equivalent to setting +the `MOZ_HEADLESS` output variable. In addition to `MOZ_HEADLESS` +there is also `MOZ_HEADLESS_WIDTH` and `MOZ_HEADLESS_HEIGHT` for +controlling the dimensions of the no-op virtual display. This is +similar to using Xvfb(1) which you may know from the X windowing system, +but has the additional benefit of also working on macOS and Windows. + +[functional tests]: PythonTests.md +[Firefox Nightly]: https://nightly.mozilla.org/ + +### Android + +Prerequisites: + +* You have [built Fennec](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Simple_Firefox_for_Android_build). + +* You can run an Android [emulator](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Android/Testing#Running_tests_on_the_Android_emulator), + which means you have the AVD you need. + +When running tests on Fennec, you can have Marionette runner take care of +starting Fennec and an emulator, as shown below. + +```shell +% ./mach marionette-test --emulator --app fennec + --avd-home /path/to/.mozbuild/android-device/avd + --emulator-binary /path/to/.mozbuild/android-sdk/emulator/emulator + --avd=mozemulator-x86 +``` + +For Fennec tests, if the appropriate `emulator` command is in your `PATH`, you may omit the `--emulator-binary` argument. See `./mach marionette-test -h` +for additional options. + +Alternately, you can start an emulator yourself and have the Marionette runner +start Fennec for you: + +```shell +% ./mach marionette-test --emulator --app='fennec' --address=127.0.0.1:2828 +``` + +To connect to an already-running Fennec in an emulator or on a device, +you will need to have it started with the `-marionette` command line argument, +or by setting the environment variable `MOZ_MARIONETTE=1` for the process. + +Make sure port 2828 is forwarded: + +```shell +% adb forward tcp:2828 tcp:2828 +``` + +If Fennec is already started: + +```shell +% ./mach marionette-test --app='fennec' --address=127.0.0.1:2828 +``` + +If Fennec is not already started on the emulator/device, add the `--emulator` +option. Marionette Test Runner will take care of forwarding the port and +starting Fennec with the correct prefs. (You may need to run +`adb forward --remove-all` to allow the runner to start.) + +```shell +% ./mach marionette-test --emulator --app='fennec' --address=127.0.0.1:2828 --startup-timeout=300 +``` + +If you need to troubleshoot the Marionette connection, the most basic check is +to start Fennec with `-marionette` or the environment variable `MOZ_MARIONETTE=1`, +make sure that the port 2828 is forwarded, and then see if you get any response from +Marionette when you connect manually: + +```shell +% telnet 127.0.0.1:2828 +``` + +You should see output like `{"applicationType":"gecko","marionetteProtocol":3}` + +[geckodriver]: /testing/geckodriver/index.rst + +## WPT functional tests + +Marionette is also indirectly tested through [geckodriver] with WPT +(`Wd` on Treeherder). To run them: + +```shell +% ./mach wpt testing/web-platform/tests/webdriver +``` + +WPT tests conformance to the [WebDriver] standard and uses +[geckodriver]. Together with the Marionette remote protocol in +Gecko, they make up Mozilla’s WebDriver implementation. + +This command supports a `--webdriver-arg='-vv'` argument that +enables more detailed logging, as well as `--jsdebugger` for opening +the Browser Toolbox. + +A particularly useful trick is to combine this with the headless +mode for Firefox: + +```shell +% ./mach wpt --webdriver-arg='-vv' --headless testing/web-platform/tests/webdriver +``` + +[WebDriver]: https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/ + +## Harness tests + +The Marionette harness Python package has a set of mock-styled unit +tests that uses the [pytest] framework. The following command will +run all tests: + +```shell +% ./mach python-test testing/marionette +``` + +To run a specific test specify the full path to the module: + +```shell +% ./mach python-test testing/marionette/harness/marionette_harness/tests/harness_unit/test_serve.py +``` + +[pytest]: https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/ + +## One-click loaners + +Additionally, for debugging hard-to-reproduce test failures in CI, +one-click loaners from [Taskcluster](Taskcluster.md) can be particularly useful. + +## Out-of-tree testing + +All the above examples show tests running _in-tree_, with a local +checkout of _central_ and a local build of Firefox. It is also +possibly to run the Marionette tests _without_ a local build and +with a downloaded test archive from [Taskcluster](Taskcluster.md) + +If you want to run tests from a downloaded test archive, you will +need to download the `target.common.tests.tar.gz` artifact attached to +Treeherder [build jobs] `B` for your system. Extract the archive +and set up the Python Marionette client and harness by executing +the following command in a virtual environment: + +```shell +% pip install -r config/marionette_requirements.txt +``` + +The tests can then be found under +_marionette/tests/testing/marionette/harness/marionette_harness/tests_ +and can be executed with the command `marionette`. It supports +the same options as described above for `mach`. + +[build jobs]: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=mozilla-central&filter-searchStr=build |
