Description

We have 3 different copies of the tooltool.py client vendored into the tree:

  • python/mozbuild/mozbuild/action/tooltool.py
  • testing/mozharness/external_tools/tooltool.py
  • testing/web-platform/tests/tools/third_party/tooltool/tooltool.py

The last time we tried to update the in-tree copies, we discovered that two of them had differences not found in the other, nor the copy in this repo.

We should add a test here to verify that all copies are the same. Maybe a test in tree as well.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the three listed tooltool.py copies: python/mozbuild/mozbuild/action/tooltool.py, testing/mozharness/external_tools/tooltool.py, and testing/web-platform/tests/tools/third_party/tooltool/tooltool.py. Add a test in the repository that compares them and reports differences; done means the test verifies all three copies match.
