During this morning's VisualEditor team meeting, James Forrester
mentioned that we should start developing browser tests for
VisualEditor accessed via the Mobile interface (as opposed to
existing browser tests for VE accessed via the desktop interface). <br>
<br>
I'm certainly happy to work on this (unless someone else is more
appropriate to take the lead), but just to make sure it's done
right, I have a high-level question: Should these tests live in the
<i>MobileFrontend</i> repo, or the<i> VisualEditor</i> repo? <br>
<br>
I assume the former, since Mobile is the "container", but let me
know if my assumption is wrong!</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">One way of looking at it is on the blocking model. If (when!) these tests were to block merge, which repo's changes should they be triggered by? In this case, I think there's a case for some basic browser tests for VE-on-Mobile to be in VisualEditor (specifically, in the MediaWiki VisualEditor repo) with the major tests be in MobileFrontend.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Obviously there's a limit to this (or we'd just develop in only one repo), and for some downstream users it's "their problem" to remain current with upstream (<i>e.g. </i>MediaWiki core <i>vs.</i> extensions), but that's what I'd recommend.</div>
