(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Brian Teh]

Attachment: mozConfigLoaderResults.txt

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Trident/7.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; rv:11.0) like Gecko

Steps to reproduce:

This is re-produced on a PC running Solaris 11.2 Beta with Solaris Studio 12.4 Beta.

1. Checkout the comm-central repository. (/export/home/cpe479/comm-central-hg)
2. Go to comm-central folder. (/export/home/cpe479/comm-central-hg/mozilla)
3. Create a .mozconfig in comm-central folder (/export/home/cpe479/comm-central-hg/mozilla) with the following contents:

ac_add_options --enable-application=browser
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-optimize
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --enable-jemalloc
ac_add_options --enable-official-branding
ac_add_options --disable-updater
ac_add_options --enable-dtrace
ac_add_options --with-system-zlib
ac_add_options --with-system-icu
ac_add_options --with-system-bz2
ac_add_options --enable-system-pixman
ac_add_options --enable-system-ffi
ac_add_options --disable-crashreporter
ac_add_options --disable-debug-symbols
ac_add_options --enable-startup-notification

4. Set MOZCONFIG variable (export MOZCONFIG=/export/home/cpe479/comm-central-hg/Mozilla/mozconfig)
5. Go to comm-central/mozilla directory (/export/home/cpe479/comm-central-hg/Mozilla/Mozilla)
6. Start the build using either "gmake -sf client.mk build" or "./mach build".
7. Build fails with MozconfigLoader Exception.



Actual results:

MozconfigLoadException: Evaluation of your mozconfig exited with an error. This could be triggered
by a command inside your mozconfig failing. Please change your mozconfig
to not error and/or to catch errors in executed commands.

  File "/export/home/cpe479/comm-central-hg/mozilla/mozilla/python/mach/mach/main.py", line 313, in run
    return self._run(argv)
  File "/export/home/cpe479/comm-central-hg/mozilla/mozilla/python/mach/mach/main.py", line 399, in _run
    instance = cls(context)
  File "/export/home/cpe479/comm-central-hg/mozilla/mozilla/python/mozbuild/mozbuild/base.py", line 552, in __init__
    dummy = MozbuildObject.from_environment(cwd=context.cwd)
  File "/export/home/cpe479/comm-central-hg/mozilla/mozilla/python/mozbuild/mozbuild/base.py", line 164, in from_environment
    config = loader.read_mozconfig(mozconfig)
  File "/export/home/cpe479/comm-central-hg/mozilla/mozilla/python/mozbuild/mozbuild/mozconfig.py", line 230, in read_mozconfig
    raise MozconfigLoadException(path, MOZCONFIG_BAD_EXIT_CODE, lines)



Expected results:

The build should have been started without any errors, since mozconfigLoader is able to parse the mozconfig successfully.

Python used under Solaris 11.2 Beta is Python 2.7.3 (SunOS).

[Brian Teh]

The attachment for Build Results (gmake) under Solaris 11.2 Beta that shows the build failure also applies to Thunderbird as well.

This error is because the script

mozilla-central/python/mozbuild/mozbuild/mozconfig_loader

is not a shell script. It is a bash script.
So change the first line in this file from

#!/bin/sh

to

#!/bin/bash

PS. Of course you must have bash installed.
