So, I've been playing a bit more with this. I've hacked the
xpcshell-simple harness so it fits my needs.
* test files go into the FINAL_TARGET of the application
* created a command line handler that when called with "-test", reads
all the files specified with -f and concats them into one big file it
then evals()
This makes my tests run "inside" the XULRunner application, and "make
check" works as expected.
One problem is that when the application needs to register new
components, and thus restarts, the test fails. But besides from that it
seems to fit the bill.
Is there a bug created for this?
