Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: XPCOM, defect)

Description

[Byron Campen [:bwc]]

I'm not sure how you guys managed this, but after updating to/past this changeset, all changesets on m-c _before_ this changeset on both linux and OS X is broken, even with a clobber. I get the following error:

  File "/home/bcampen/checkouts/mozilla-central/config/pythonpath.py", line 56, in <module>
    make[5]: Leaving directory '/home/bcampen/checkouts/mozilla-central/objdir-ff-asan/services/sync'
main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/home/bcampen/checkouts/mozilla-central/config/pythonpath.py", line 48, in main

    p = xpidl.IDLParser(outputdir=options.cachedir)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'IDLParser'

It looks like running an hg purge on xpcom and python fixes this. hg purge xpcom might be enough on its own.

khuey or Peter, is this expected?

No, that's not expected.  Stale .pyc files, perhaps?

Comment 4

[Peter Elmers [:new_one]]

Agreed, sounds like leftover pyc files being loaded.
