I just uploaded Bugzilla Helper 0.2.0. This improves on the last release by making making the submission of comments an asynchronous operation. It also uses the activity manager in Thunderbird to track the process of the submission, and retry it if an error occurs.
There are still some apparent issues with the REST API that the add-on is using, and I’ll likely include some workaround in upcoming versions. 0.2.0 is available on addons.mozilla.org and is a recommended upgrade. Current users will have to update since sandboxed add-ons do not automatically update.
If you’ve been experiencing crashes when trying to delete a large set of history, I have great news for you! We’ve identified the issue, and a fix will be coming to you shortly!
I’ve been a bit frustrated at how often I switch from my e-mail client to my browser when I’m reading bugmail to reply to some comment. Then I saw Gerv’s Bugzilla REST API, and I decided it was time to write an add-on.
Without further ado, I present the add-on. Feel free to give me feedback by leaving a comment on this post.
Today I checked in bug 517604 which gives native code tests a new, clean profile directory after every run. This puts the native code test harness on par with xpcshell-tests, and tests will no longer have to provide their own profile directory. This means that they no longer have to clean up after themselves. The harness will do it for them now! Happy testing :)
