Options for faster updates of MaxVersion

[KevinGrandon]

versions

• SlimerJS: 1.0.0-alpha.1
• Firefox: Any
• Operating system: Any

Request

Currently SlimerJS defines MaxVersion in application.ini and updates sometime after Firefox releases a new version (every 6 weeks). We have business requirements where we need to run our scripts against the latest version of Firefox at all times to guarantee some level of quality, even if not all SlimerJS support is working. I think there's a few options here:

Earlier updates - SlimerJS could update the Firefox version inline with Beta or Aurora, meaning that it would be several versions ahead of release.

Override in code - We could override the MaxVersion in code, possibly using a .slimerrc configuration file per project.

Just looking for some help here as otherwise we're currently maintaining a fork of SlimerJS and publishing this to npm under: https://www.npmjs.com/package/slimerjs-core

I would love to be able to discontinue this fork.

Hi,

"override in code" is not really possible, as the version verification is done by Firefox, not Slimerjs, during the startup.

However the option "earlier updates" is possible.
