This patch makes EXTRA_{PP_,}JS_MODULES similar in functionality to
TESTING_JS_MODULES: we indicate the path relative to
$(FINAL_TARGET)/modules with an appropriate hierarchy of paths.
We now mark the experiments cache as clean before writing the cache.
This means that any changes to the data between collecting it and when
the actual write executes will properly mark the cache as dirty.
The upcoming build system patches don't support hypthens in path names.
Changing this for that reason is kind of silly, but it's the easiest
way. Besides, nothing else uses hyphens in directory names.
We expect all historic experiments to have a valid endDate. Setting an experiment to disabled and then calling into reconcileAddonState can trigger calls into Experiments.getExperiments() via the AddonManager, so we need to set the endDate before that.
We normally validate hashes of XPIs as part of installing experiments.
While a useful security feature, this patch makes that optional. This in
turn makes automated and manual testing easier.
To sync experiment state with the addon manager, we need to start it early when there is a
active experiment.
However, initializing the telemetry experiments system too early can lead to performance
regressions, so we delay the initialization if we don't have an active experiment.
Subsequent patches were running into race conditions and bugs related to
Experiments instance initialization state. This patch plugs the
necessary holes in initialization state management to unblock work.
The fixes are far from robust. There are still race conditions and bugs.
They should probably be addressed later.
There is a lot of boilerplate testing code that performs common
AddonManager operations. Some common operations used for testing
Experiments have been refactored into a testing-only JSM that lives as
part of the Add-ons Manager.
The experiments service insists on being in control of experiments.
Before, it wasn't being as assertive as it needed to be: other browser
components could install experiments behind its back. This patch
reasserts the experiments service as king of experiments add-on
management.
