Configuration

When opening a workspace, the standard Mozilla developer utilities are already available (git-cinnabar, mach, moz-phab, etc.) However, by defining some optional environment variables in your Gitpod account, you can pre-configure some of this tools.

Try server credentials

Mozilla's try server allows developers to test a patch before checking the patch to the core repository.

If you have access to the try server, you can add your try credentials to Gitpod. This will allow ./mach try to work right out of the box.

For this, define the following environment variables in your Gitpod account:

• FIREFOX_TRY_USERNAME: the username of your try server account.
• FIREFOX_TRY_SSH_KEY: the private ssh key of your try server account. The key must be formatted with \n for each newline.

MozPhab credentials

Phabricator is used for Firefox's code reviews. The moz-phab command-line tool comes pre-installed in the workspace, but it needs an API key to work properly.

To configure moz-phab with your own credentials, define the following environment variables in your Gitpod account:

• FIREFOX_PHABRICATOR_API_TOKEN: your Phabricator API Token, typically retrieved from phabricator.services.mozilla.com/conduit/login/
