1060996 - Trace_util not found when building B2G.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Adrian Crespo]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140716183446

Steps to reproduce:

I have noticed that /systtem/bin/trace_util is not found in my Firefox OS Flame. It is using a recent nightly build and the build is working, but it does not have that binary.

When I try to build B2G, extract_files.sh tries to pull that file and it fails due to it is not available.

I fixed it getting trace_util from a 1.3v build, but I am wondering what is trace_util, why my builds worked without it and why is needed currently.

[Taichi Matsuura]

Yes, I have a same problem.
what I did is:
$ ./config.sh flame
$ build.sh

------------
...
Pulling "rmt_storage"
Pulling "time_daemon"
Pulling "trace_util"
cp: ../../../backup-flame/system/bin/trace_util: No such file or directory
Failed to pull trace_util. Giving up.

The problem appear since https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1045504

He is present when compiling for 2.0 and 2.1

Mwu, do you know?

Comment 4

[Dietrich Ayala (:dietrich)]

Asking kli, reviewer of bug 1045504. (Viral is out on PTO)

Maybe expects KK build? or our base build needs update to have this?

Comment 5

[Kai-Zhen Li [:seinlin][:kli]]

Yes, device-flame 'kitkat' branch need the same patch as bug 1045504. And when we extract from the device we need to use the image which is release from partner.

Is that patch landed on kitkat branch?

Comment 7

[Dietrich Ayala (:dietrich)]

If that patch only works on kitkat branch, why is it landed on any other branch? I'm confused.

Comment 8

[Adrian Crespo]

I would like to point out that I was not trying to build flame-kk but only flame (not sure If it helps, sorry).

Comment 9

[Kai-Zhen Li [:seinlin][:kli]]

Dietrich, originally, this patch is not created for kitkat branch. These branches, master/v2.0/v1.4 need this patch and it already got landed. For kitkat branch it can be uplifted per request.

CodingFree,  If you are trying to build flame and /systtem/bin/trace_util is not found, I suggest you flash your device with the image form T2M, then rm backup-flame in B2G dir and try again.

Please clarify your reference to "T2M".  This shorthand isn't clear to me.

I use a ZTE Open C recently flashed with 2.0 flame [1]
I'm trying to build a system by myself but it fails while backuping the running system when pulling /system/bin/trace_util

Searching on the net, it seems solved by using this an openc manifest [2][3]

I'm trying it ...

We're in B2G triage and need a 2.2 repro on a Flame before we can consider giving this a +.

[Wesley Huang [:wesley_huang] (EPM) (NI me)]

Hey,
Could you share the latest update as you mentioned you want to check if it fixed?

Comment 15

[bhavana bajaj [:bajaj]]

I am clearing the nom for now as i think this should be resolved.

Comment 16

[Gabriele Svelto [:gsvelto]]

I haven't encountered this problem for a while and when using the latest images trace_util is always present. I'll close as WORKSFORME, reopen if this crops up again.

Comment 17

[Léonard]

I'm new to Firefox OS and while trying to build it for the first time, I encountered this problem : missing ../../../backup-flame/system/bin/trace_util
I did a "adb pull /system backup-flame/system" before and I checked using "adb shell" that the file trace_util doesn't exist in my ZTE Open C.
On my phone, I installed a community build 2.1.0.0-prerelease from 7th April 2015
To configure my build I did "./config.sh flame", so I'm not sure which version of Firefox OS I'm trying to build.
