1 TPS is a test automation framework for Firefox Sync. See
2 https://developer.mozilla.org/en/TPS for documentation.
7 TPS requires several packages to operate properly. To install TPS and
8 required packages, use the INSTALL.sh script, provided:
10 python3 create_venv.py /path/to/create/virtualenv
12 This script will create a virtalenv and install TPS into it.
14 You must then activate the virtualenv by executing:
16 - (mac/linux): source /path/to/virtualenv/Scripts/activate
17 - (win): /path/to/virtualenv/Scripts/activate.bat
19 TPS can then be run by executing:
21 runtps --binary=/path/to/firefox
23 > Note: You can run the tps tests in headless mode by using `MOZ_HEADLESS=1`. This will make
24 > your computer somewhat useable while the tests are running.
26 When you are done with TPS, you can deactivate the virtualenv by executing
31 To edit the TPS configuration, do not edit config/config.json.in in the tree.
32 Instead, edit config.json inside your virtualenv; it will be located at the
33 top level of where you specified the virtualenv be created - eg, for the
34 example above, it will be `/path/to/create/virtualenv/config.json`

45 > You should use restmail or something very similar.
46 > Gmail and other providers might give a `The request was blocked for security reasons`
48 1. Go to the URL: http://restmail.net/mail/%account_prefix%@restmail.net
49 - Replace `%account_prefix%` with your own test name
50 2. Go to https://accounts.firefox.com/signup?service=sync&context=fx_desktop_v1
51 3. Sign in with the previous chosen email address and a password
52 4. Go back to the Restmail URL, reload the page
53 5. Search for the verification link and open that page
55 Now you will be able to use this account for TPS. Note that these
56 steps can be done in either a test profile or in a private browsing window - you
57 might want to avoid doing that in a "real" profile that's already connected to
