1216507 - Cannot launch xpcshell tests on B2G Emualtor-x86-kk: DMError: zip not available

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: XPCShell Harness, defect)

Description

[Juan Gomez [:_AtilA_] (CET/CEST)]

I wanted to test some .jsm modules I'm doing, so I need xpcshell tests to run locally in my emulator-x86-kk build.
If you build the emulator and try to launch the test via:
$ cd B2G
$ ./mach xpcshell-test b2g/components/test/unit/test_mycomponent.js
You finally got an error message like:
...
pushing /system/bin/busybox
Error running mach:
...
...
The details of the failure are as follows:

DMError: zip not available
...
(stack trace)

I saw that this process is trying to install busybox (for zip/unzipping the tests) from a prebuilt binary that is built for ARM, but we need a prebuilt for x86 arch.
This is the reason why it's failing.

As a workaround, you can download the prebuilt binary for x86 [1] and overwrite the one in B2G/out/target/product/generic/system/bin/busybox, then launch the mach xpcshell-test commmand again.

I also noticed this. It is caused by some logic error in mach script: use the wrong arch type to download the busybox binary. I already have a patch for this. Will attach soon.
