Automation + Tools Mozmill Repository

Mozmill is a UI Automation framework for Mozilla apps like Firefox and Thunderbird. It's both an addon and a Python command-line tool.

The Mozmill repository contains Mozmill and supporting code which is also used for MozBase and other Mozilla automation efforts.

Installation

To work with the development version of Mozmill or its utilities, check out the code from the Github repo:

virtualenv mozmill
cd mozmill
. bin/activate
mkdir src
cd src
git clone http://github.com/mozautomation/mozmill.git
cd mozmill
./setup_development.py

Repository Contents

The Mozmill repository contains python packages for Mozmill and MozBase.

In addition, several repository support files exist for repository documentation and management.

Python Packages

The mozmill repository contains several Python packages:

  • jsbridge : python to JavaScript bridge used by Mozmill to communicate test run information.
  • mozmill : Mozilla test harness and event dispatcher
  • mutt : test framework for Mozmill and related utilities

Each of these packages contains a README.md file in markdown syntax giving in-depth information on their utility. These packages all make use of setuptools for installation. It is highly recommended that you use virtualenv to keep your python environment separate from your system packages. In this way, you can keep multiple versions of packages around without worrying about cross-contamination and versioning woes.
