595334 - ASSERTION: Bad life cycle.: 'mStarted', file parser/html/nsHtml5TreeOpExecutor.cpp, line 118

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect, P3)

Description

[Mats Palmgren (inactive)]

Attachment: stack for the assertion

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. run --browser-chrome mochitests

ACTUAL RESULT
ASSERTION: Bad life cycle.: 'mStarted', file parser/html/nsHtml5TreeOpExecutor.cpp, line 118.
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/parser/html/nsHtml5TreeOpExecutor.cpp#118

It's quite reproducible and occurs just after TEST-PASS is logged for
browser/base/content/test/browser_popupNotification.js
At that point I'm still seeing a notification box in the UI,
which seems like it could be a bug in the test.

PLATFORMS AND BUILDS TESTED
The observed behavior above is for local Fx Linux64 (m-c rev 100bcacdbf45)
but the assertion also occurs in recent local WinXP and MacOSX builds

Attachment: Potential fix

I hadn't realized a parser can be terminated without ever starting it.
