== Making a pull request to someone that you didn't fork from ==
'''Before you make a pull request, please pull from rhung's mouselock-tests repo so that you don't get asked to fix possible merge conflicts'''
# Click on the pull request button and you should get a screen with something similar to [http://raymondhung.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/changepulltarget.png this]
# By clicking on the '''Change Commits''' you'll get a screen to look something like [http://raymondhung.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/changingtarget.png this]
# Finally you'll just have to fill in [http://raymondhung.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/fillandfinish.png this], once you do, click '''Send Pull Request''' and if everything works, you're done!
== Feel free FAQ=='''Question:''' Where do I store my tests? '''Answer:''' Put them in the dom/tests/mochitest/mouselock/ folder. Also in the same directory you need to contribute more information! edit Makefile.in file, under _TEST_FILES =\ before $(NULL) you need to add in the file name of your test file.'''IMPORTANT''' when you add the test file in Makefile.in you must use the tab key and not space, using space will break the build. '''Question:''' How do I get mochitest to run? '''Answer:''' To run the particular mochitest you want, you go to your root mozilla folder (in most cases this will be mozilla-central) and type:<pre>TEST_PATH=dom/tests/mochitest/mouselock/[your filename].html make -C [the directory you built Firefox to] mochitest-plain</pre> '''Question:''' I'm getting a 404 page not found when trying to get my mochitest to run. I have the file in dom/tests/mochitest/mouselock, and I've added the file to the make file in the same directory. '''Answer:''' Recompile Firefox so that the change in your make file takes effect.
