It can remotely +control either the UI or the internal JavaScript of a Gecko platform, such as +Firefox. It can control both the chrome (i.e. menus and functions) or the +content (the webpage loaded inside the browsing context), giving a high level +of control and ability to replicate user actions. In addition to performing +actions on the browser, Marionette can also read the properties and attributes +of the DOM. + +The marionette_harness package contains the test runner for Marionette, and +allows you to run automated tests written in Python for Gecko based +applications. Therefore it offers the necessary testcase classes, which are +based on the unittest framework. + +For more information and the repository please checkout: + +- home and docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Marionette + + +Example +------- + +The following command will run the tests as specified via a manifest file, or +test path, or test folder in Firefox: + + marionette --binary %path_to_firefox% [manifest_file | test_file | test_folder] + +To get an overview about all possible option run `marionette --help`. |
