How to run these tests? about addon-sdk-content-scripts HOT 4 CLOSED

Ah, these being sample extensions themselves, you must be using something like
cfx -v test
in each example's root directory.

Are all these samples passing for you?

After installing latest firefox-trunk on my ubuntu system I got many tests to pass, running

addon-sdk-content-scripts$ for i in `ls`; do if [ -d $i ]; then pushd $i; \
cfx test -b `which firefox-trunk`; popd; fi; done

Some tests still fail, e.g.

console.log: page-mod-content-script-insulation: Windows open:
console.log: page-mod-content-script-insulation: chrome://browser/content/browser.xul - about:blank, resource://jid1-wm9xkrpezttd9q-at-jetpack/page-mod-content-script-insulation/data/page.html
console.log: page-mod-content-script-insulation: null

2 of 4 tests passed.

The following tests failed:
  page-mod-content-script-insulation/tests/test-main.test main: failure
  page-mod-content-script-insulation/tests/test-main.test main async: failure

@anaran : they don't really have any tests :(. The test files that are included are just the boilerplate ones that "cfx init" generates. Some of the tests would be pretty hard to write I think, and some are dependent on specific Firefox versions.

Although tests would be nice, I'm not sure whether it's worth adding them rather than spending time on having more documentation of the samples (or more samples, even). The main README includes a one-liner for each add-on: https://github.com/mdn/addon-sdk-content-scripts/blob/master/README.md but it would probably be worth having something a bit more elaborate.

The test you quoted is I think failing because the example is intended to demonstrate a failure case: that content scripts can't see expando properties added by page scripts: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK/Guides/Content_Scripts#Accessing_the_DOM.

I like the main README with its links to all the important places.

Thanks for confirming the status of the tests.

I consider my issue closed with that.
