This included adding the slugid 1.0.6 python source code in /python since slugid
is now a dependency of the ./mach taskcluster-graph command, as well us updating
references that used it. Previously the implementation was in-tree.
It's been clear from user feedback that people don't realize that `mach
mercurial-setup` doesn't make any changes unless they tell it to.
Reinforce this message in the prompts printed by mach_boostrap.py.
This command is used by tab completion handlers. A user reported that
hitting tab in his shell resulted in the mercurial-setup out of date
check spewing output.
Having not configured or out-of-date tools benefits nobody. It slows
people down.
Version control tools are an integral part of working on Firefox. It is
important for version control tools to be configured optimally and to be
continuously updated so they stay optimal.
The `mach mercurial-setup` command exists to optimally configure
Mercurial for working on Firefox and other Mozilla projects.
This commit adds a pre-dispatch handler to mach that will verify
Mercurial is in a happy state. If `mach mercurial-setup` has never
executed, it will complain. If `mach mercurial-setup` hasn't been
executed in the past 31 days, it will complain.
Yes, aborting command execution and forcing people to context switch to
run `mach mercurial-setup` is annoying. First, we have carved out
several exceptions to this behavior, including detection for running in
automation, on the machines of curmudgeons, when Mercurial isn't being
used, and from non-interactive processes. Second, I argue that people
ignore optional notifications and that having persistently
poorly-configured tools is worse than a single context switch at most
every month. Therefore, the heavyhanded approach is justified.
In addition, if we did support a non-fatal notification, we would
introduce the problem of extra output from commands. If anyone was e.g.
parsing mach output, we could very likely break those systems. These
cases should be caught by the isatty() check or be running in a context
with MOZ_AUTOMATION set. But you never know.

A subsequent commit will want to access the state directory path without
possibly creating it. Make that possible by extracting path resolution
to its own function.
We're using as many defaults from the configure step as we can. We're also opinionated upon the defaults, but obviously allow most compare-locales options to be specified.
There are two exceptions:
Reference language is specified to be en-US, without optional argument. This is our in-tree command, and the reference language is known.
We always clobber the merge dir, and don't give an option not to. We default to a merge dir in the objdir, so we don't need to be that paranoid as in the standalone version.
Also, compare-locales clobbers merge-dir/browser etc, so you're not going to get / removed.
I went with gradle instead of gradlew because it's more likely to be
what users consider. And mach helpfully fixes up the uncommon typo.
This is a little hard-coded right now but I don't think it's likely
any other Gradle consumer will arise in the short term.
The immediate goal of this patch is to give the build system and testing
tools the knowledge to identify reftest files and directories. Parsing
extra metadata out of reftest manifests is currently a non-requirement,
but may be supported some day.
