(Infrastructure & Operations :: RelOps: General, task)

Description

[Eric Rahm [:erahm]]

It looks like running the Sm tests is failing occasionally on Windows XP try servers due to the wrong python version being installed.

Digging in a little -- scripts/scripts/spidermonkey_builds/spidermonkey.sh is what is having the issue.

:markco had a look and two jobs were running. It appeared to both have buildbot and runner going at the same time as well.

So, this happened because I did an incomplete roll-back of the original try runner rollout from last week. I had failed to understand that the builders only require the opt folder if runner is in use and so failed to remove the folder as part of the roll-back. The folder has now been removed. It shouldn't be possible for runner to run on these machines now.

It's not clear to me whether or not this is still an issue. Are we just in the postmortem phase now?

This should no longer be an issue. I was corrected as of 2015-05-22 14:09:18 EDT.
