[QA] [WikimediaMobile] Failing MobileFrontend browser tests

[Arthur Richards]

Thanks for the replies, everyone - however I haven't seen Antoine's
response (beyond the bit quoted in Chris Steipp's reply), did it not get
reply all'd or otherwise not sent to mobile-l? Further response inline.

Rob, the last time we inquired about this (to my knowledge) was one month
ago (see email subject 'migrating MobileFrontend browser tests to WMF
Jenkins'). We saw no substantive followup, and our browser test builds have
been broken since the migration over one month ago as a result of
infrastructural issues. This not only rendered the automated browser tests
essentially useless for us but it has also become a significant drain on
time and focus. This isn't a case of us asking 'are we there yet' - rather
it's a case of us trying to understand when we'll be able to rely on our
browser tests again and to see if there's any way we can help to improve
the situation.
