1038119 - Test failure 'Autocomplete results should be visible' in testAwesomeBar/testAccessLocationBar.js

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla QA Graveyard :: Mozmill Tests, defect, P1)

Description

[Daniel Gherasim]

Module:    functional
Test:      testAwesomeBar/testAccessLocationBar.js > testAccessLocationBarHistory
Failure:   Autocomplete results should be visible
Branches:  Nightly
Platforms: OSX (all)

Line that fails: https://hg.mozilla.org/qa/mozmill-tests/file/a59e61505aef/firefox/tests/functional/testAwesomeBar/testAccessLocationBar.js#l57

I can reproduce this locally on my Mac OSX 10.8. Looks like it only affects OSX.

It started from the build since 12 July 2014:
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=e1a037c085d1&tochange=b0701d069bf9

As the most candidate I see bug 1020496 to cause this.

We should check if there's a way to also add a message when conditionally disabling tests.
I know I've searched for a way some while ago but didn't found one.

Regressor is bug 1034845

Checking now exactly what fails in our test and why.

Comment 4

[Andrei Eftimie]

I can reproduce this manually:

1. Open Firefox (preferably a populated profile, otherwise visit some pages)
2. In an existing or new tab type in "about:blank"
3. Hit the down arrow once

Expected result: the AutoComplete popup opens
Actual result: nothing happens

==

Both: "about:blank", "about:newtab" are affected.

Dao, could you please look into your patch from bug 1034845 could have affected this?
Thanks.

[Dão Gottwald [:dao]]

Sorry, I don't see how my patch from bug 1034845 would cause this, let alone why it would be OS-X-only.

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

This is certainly a regression in Firefox. Andrei, please file a new bug under the appropriate component for further investigation. Lets not hijack again one of our bugs under mozmill-tests.

From what I see in bug 1038614, it's not a big issue for them to get fixed, so not sure if we want to keep this as P1 and also not have the test fixed (even if it's kind of a workaround) so we can use it. Since they don't think this is major to get fixed, we'll have this test skipped for a year or more :(

Comment 8

[Andrei Eftimie]

I agree, lets get this fixed with a workaround and mark 1038614 as a potential fix to remove the workaround

Works fine to blur the urlbar before attempting to clear it.

I'll leave it until tomorrow before backporting to aurora.
