1228068 - aws spot instances building Windows XP failing because of "/x86_amd64/cl.exe: No such file or directory"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo on intermittent or backout)]

We see many failing Windows XP build jobs, mozilla-inbound and fx-team are closed for that reason:

failed:
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/logviewer.html#?job_id=17832138&repo=mozilla-inbound#L11690 b-2008-spot-140
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/logviewer.html#?job_id=5907823&repo=fx-team#L6785 b-2008-spot-121
Issue seem to be "/x86_amd64/cl.exe: No such file or directory"

The successful clobber of the latter job doesn't have that issue:

An easy way out of this is to disable sccache on windows builders. It was not enabled on in-house builders.

It's probably not the same thing. That bug lacks log context, but I'm pretty sure sccache was not involved. OTOH, sccache *is* involved here.

... that said, sccache was enabled on try... it's surprising that it wasn't a problem there...
