1156725 - unable to run test_localStorageBasePrivateBrowsing_perwindowpb.html when testing in the local directory

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Joel Maher ( :jmaher ) (UTC -8)]

From a recent inbound branch, I run:
./mach mochitest-chrome dom/tests/mochitest/localstorage/

and get this failure:
114 INFO TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | dom/tests/mochitest/localstorage/test_localStorageBasePrivateBrowsing_perwindowpb.html | uncaught exception - NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE:  at chrome://mochitests/content/chrome/dom/tests/mochitest/localstorage/test_localStorageBasePrivateBrowsing_perwindowpb.html:52


I suspect this is related to the fact that we run this test so close to startup and the aWin.content.localStorage is not available until delayed startup.

This is a problem on linux*, winXP, Win8.  It doesn't appear to be a problem on OSX 10.6 and Windows 7:

running:
./mach mochitest-chrome dom/tests/mochitest

I get a different failure in the same test case:
5973 INFO TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | dom/tests/mochitest/localstorage/test_localStorageBasePrivateBrowsing_perwindowpb.html | uncaught exception - NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE:  at chrome://mochitests/content/chrome/dom/tests/mochitest/localstorage/test_localStorageBasePrivateBrowsing_perwindowpb.html:237

quite possibly something else fishy is going on here.  This worked fine roughly 4 weeks ago.

Hi Bellindira,

Looks like you are the original author to this. It would be really nice if you could have a look at this.
