1071617 - [v2.2] Investigate test_capture_a_video failure

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::UI Tests, defect)

Description

[Robert Chira [:RobertC]]

Attachment: camera.png

test_capture_a_video is failing on Jenkins because the camera app fails to start recording.
http://jenkins1.qa.scl3.mozilla.com/view/UI/job/flame-319.mozilla-central.ui.functional.smoke/168/HTML_Report/

I was not able to reproduce the issue locally with manual or automated tests.
While running the automated test locally I noticed that after tapping on the record button it took 5-10 seconds for the UI to update (the record button style to change and the record timer too appear). I was also able to reproduce this behavior manually, but it was intermittent. The camera app has a delayed response to user interaction, which is also visible on v2.1.

I also started an adhoc run in which the test fails constantly: http://jenkins1.qa.scl3.mozilla.com/view/UI/job/flame.ui.adhoc/161/HTML_Report/
In the adhoc screenshots the recording timer is not visible and the test fails with a timeout of 30 seconds.

I am not able to provide a regression window since I cannot reproduce the issue locally.

I tried to reproduce this issue locally, by running the automated test several times, but I couldn't reproduce the failure.
Also, I started an adhoc run on latest v2.2, and the test passed each time: http://jenkins1.qa.scl3.mozilla.com/view/UI/job/flame-kk.ui.adhoc/203/HTML_Report/
