# 📱 Testing

⚠️ **Warning**: Replacing a _Fennec_ (Firefox for Android) installation with _Fenix_ (Firefox Preview) can (and at the time of writing this definitely **will**) result in **DATA LOSS**. Do not replace an installation of Fennec (Firefox for Android) that contains data you do not want to risk losing (e.g. open tabs, history, bookmarks, top sites, ..).

# 📝 Changelog
|
|
|
|
The data migration work is tracked on the following project board:
|
|
https://github.com/orgs/mozilla-mobile/projects/40
|
|
|
|
* **2019-09-05** - The first [migration builds](https://tools.taskcluster.net/index/project.mobile.fenix.v2.fennec-production/latest) are available now. A Firefox for Android (release) installation can be replaced with them. No actual migration code is in those builds yet. The replaced build is a "clean" Fenix installation.
|
|
* **2019-10-22** - First iteration of migration code to migrate history, bookmarks and open tabs landed in builds.
|
|
* **2019-11-02** - Firefox Account users remain logged in after migrating to Fenix.
|

# 💻 Development
|
|
|
|
When working on migration code it is helpful to have a local Fennec build and a local Fenix build that can replace the Fennec build. The following manual setup is needed to achieve that.
|
|
|
|
In the example commands below, we assume you are replacing a **Fennec Nightly** build with a **Fenix Nightly** build.
|
|
|
|
## Fennec
|
|
|
|
Download the latest version of Fennec:
|
|
|
|
- [ARM64/Aarch64 devices (64 bit; Android 5+)](https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/nightly/latest-mozilla-esr68-android-aarch64/)
|
|
- [ARM devices (32 bit; Android 5+)](https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/nightly/latest-mozilla-esr68-android-api-16/)
|
|
- [x86_64 devices (64 bit; Android 5+)](https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/nightly/latest-mozilla-esr68-android-x86_64/)
|
|
- [x86 devices (32 bit; Android 5+)](https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/nightly/latest-mozilla-esr68-android-x86/)
|
|
|
|
Strip out the original signature:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
zip --delete fennec.apk "META-INF/*"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Re-sign the APK with your own debug key (that will also be used later for Fenix):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
jarsigner -verbose -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass android fennec.apk androiddebugkey
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can now install this APk that is ready to be used for migration:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
adb install fennec.apk
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Fenix
|
|
|
|
In the `app/build.gradle`, add the following line in the correct scope to sign your app with the same debug key used on the Fennec APK:
|
|
|
|
```groovy
|
|
android {
|
|
buildTypes {
|
|
fennecNightly {
|
|
signingConfig signingConfigs.debug
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Follow the build instructions in the [README](https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/blob/main/README.md) to get a Fenix build setup.
|
|
|
|
Now select the `geckoNightlyFennecNightly` build variant in Android Studio and deploy it. This build should have replaced your Fennec build now.
|
|
|
|
## Sample browser
|
|
|
|
When working on migration code that lives in the [Android Components repository](https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components) it can be helpful to replace a local Fennec build with the sample browser (instead of Fenix). The following setup is needed for that.
|
|
|
|
Add the sharedUserId to the AndroidManifest.xml of sample browser:
|
|
|
|
```XML
|
|
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
|
|
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
|
|
android:sharedUserId="org.mozilla.fennec_$USERNAME.sharedID"
|
|
[..]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Modify the application id in `build.gradle` of the `samples-browser` module and use a versionCode that is higher than your Fennec build (`2100000000` is the highest allowed version code and therefore should always work).
|
|
|
|
```Groovy
|
|
defaultConfig {
|
|
applicationId "org.mozilla.fennec_$USERNAME"
|
|
[..]
|
|
versionCode 2100000000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Click on "Sync Project with Gradle Files" and deploy the sample browser. This build should have replaced your Fennec build now.
|
|
|
|
## Emulator snapshots
|
|
|
|
When testing migration code the following process has to be repeated multiple times:
|
|
|
|
* (1) Uninstall an already existing Fennec/Fenix installation
|
|
* (2) Install Fennec
|
|
* (3) Use Fennec to create the necessary data for testing the migration
|
|
* (4) Install Fenix
|
|
* (5) Debug / Test
|
|
|
|
Steps (1) to (3) can be quite time consuming. Emulator snapshots can help with that:
|
|
|
|
* Launch an emulator and perform steps 1 to 3. You may need to modify your Fennec build to create an X86 build for your emulator (target `i686-linux-android`).
|
|
* Click on the three dot menu in the emulator toolbar and select "Snapshots". Press the "Take Snapshot" button. If needed give you snapshot a descriptive name in case you will need to have multiple "test snapshots".
|
|
* With the "Play" button you can always reset your emulator to that state and repeat the migration process.
