1008086 - [mozprocess] WindowsError: [Error 203] "The system could not find the environment option that was entered" in _procmgr(self)

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Testing :: Mozbase, defect)

Description

On my Windows 8 machine I get those failures each time when I run our update tests for Mozmill. Not sure yet what it is, so more investigation is necessary. This happens with mozprocess 0.19.

Error Code 203 trying to query IO Completion Port, exiting

As it turns out this issue has been caused by our work to use ConEmu for the Mozmill environment. It's not live yet, so it will become a blocker for https://github.com/mozilla/mozmill-environment/pull/58.

I don't think that we have to change something for mozprocess. But we could re-evaluate later once we know what is causing it directly. Marking as wontfix for now.
