bisect-builds should support WebKit clients other than Safari

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Matthew Hanson]

Currently bisect-builds only works with Safari. I propose that we add an argument that allows users to specify which application should be run against the nightly WebKit frameworks.

This should not change unless we're going to support $Settings::applicationPath and remove $Settings::safariPath.  Or keep $safariPath and add $applicationPath here.

  # $safariPath = "/path/to/Safari.app";
+ # $applicationPath = "/path/to/Application.app";

I would expect this to be change to the following if we were supported in the ~/.bisect-buildsrc file:

my $applicationPath = $Settings:: applicationPath;

Typo: appliactions

Very nice.  Should we only do this if $safariPath is set instead of $isBundle?

    push @args, "--args", "-ApplePersistenceIgnoreState", "YES" if $safariPath;

Or does this work for multiple apps?

I noticed this after sending out this patch. I'll keep it set to $safariPath here. This might be a good thing to change/add in a future patch.

See above.

This works with multiple apps. I have tested it with Mail and iTunes so far, but I would expect it to work with others.
