1062786 - Emulator hangs on 'waiting for homescreen' when trying to run marionette-webapi tests

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Emulator, defect)

Attachment: waiting-for-homescreen.logcat

I'm trying to run NFC marionette tests using command
> ./mach marionette-webapi gecko/dom/nfc/tests/marionette/manifest.ini 

The emulator starts, displays the 'based on mozilla technology' log and then goes blank. The output from the test shows this:
>waiting for system-message-listener-ready...
>...done
>waiting for homescreen... 

At first I thought this is the same issue as Thomas reported in Bug 1000063, but it's different because he does see the homescreen. Kamil has also encountered the same problem last week. My last emulator build from 2014-08-11 was working ok.

I'm pretty sure it's the same issue. I sometimes see the home screen, but then it turns black.

Comment 2

[Thomas Zimmermann [:tzimmermann] [:tdz]]

Have you tried running other Marionette tests?

Comment 3

[Krzysztof Mioduszewski[:tauzen]]

Just tried to run bluetooth and battery marionette tests and I got the same results.

Comment 4

[Thomas Zimmermann [:tzimmermann] [:tdz]]

Same for me. It seems it's not just NFC, any other test fails as well. Vicamo tols me that there's a bug in emulator-jb, but porting to emulator-kk gave the same results. Or maybe there's a problem with my Marionette setup.

You could try to go to Settings and make sure that 'ADB and Devtools' support is enabled in the developer settings. That didn't help for me, though.

Cannot do this, if do run-emulator.sh I also don't get to homescreen. I'm just getting the same blank screen. So it might be not related to marionette at all.

[Thomas Zimmermann [:tzimmermann] [:tdz]]

Oh, that's new.

Comment 8

[Krzysztof Mioduszewski[:tauzen]]

I've done a clean build today, the problem does not occur. Not sure what changed though.

This is happening once again on this gecko:

This week it works again.
Although the test start running in the 2nd attempt.
My first run still has 3 timed out cases.

See bug 1108271 for a possible solution. Bug 1000063 #21 has some details.
