1232321 - [On device] With a fresh build, MarionetteJS takes 5+ minutes to get the first test running (with no feedback)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Testing Graveyard :: JSMarionette, defect)

Description

[Johan Lorenzo [:jlorenzo]]

Attachment: NODE_DEBUG=* logs until the first findElement

STR
1. BUILDAPP=device make test-integration
2. Wait until marionette-mocha gets started

Expected results
You have some feedback on the console or you see what's going on the device itself

Actual ones
It seems like something unnecessary times out after 5 minutes.

You have no feedback for 300+ seconds even with NODE_DEBUG=*. The console remains stuck at:
> [marionette-mocha] Mon, 14 Dec 2015 15:40:51 GMT marionette:tcp-sync write { name: 'newSession',
>  parameters: { capabilities: { raisesAccessibilityExceptions: false } },
>  to: '0' }

In the meantime, the screen remains turned off. So if one didn't use NODE_DEBUG=*, this person could think the device got bricked.

Reproduction rate:
4/4 with a fresh build. Things are faster the second time.

As automation relies on fresh builds, this will hurt the device availability in the testing farm.
