Lately I have been working on getting the mochitest harness working inside of fennec + electrolysis. This project is coming along well and I am looking forward to landing it on mozilla-central in the near future. For reference, here is the bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=567417 One of the requests for having this is so people can write new mochitests that exercise IPC specific functionality. There are a few concerns I have when thinking about running these new tests: * How will we specify what code runs in chrome and content processes? * Will these be chrome only tests that inject bits into content? * Since mochitest relies on the messageManager channel, is there danger of these tests disabling or crashing this channel? I would like to see some test examples and conditions if they exist. This would allow me to make sure my work on the mochitest harness will work for the new tests.
