+// This file provides a PermissionsHelper object which can be used by
+// LayoutTests using testRunner to handle permissions. The methods in the object
+// return promises so can be used to write idiomatic, race-free code.
+//
+// The current available methods are:
+// - setPermission: given a permission name (known by testRunner) and a state,
+// it will set the permission to the specified state and resolve the promise
+// when done.
+// Example:
+// PermissionsHelper.setPermission('geolocation', 'prompt').then(runTest);
