Details

I had a report from jgilbert that he wasn't able to run mochitest on windows due to the marionette server actively refusing the connection. This was regressed by bug 1231784 which added the marionette dependency to mochitest for addon signing purposes.

Though, mochitest works in windows in automation, and I haven't seen any other such reports, so it could be specific to certain environments.
Andreas, do you have any idea what 'connection actively refused' means and how to fix or debug it?

`connection actively refused` tends to mean that something is blocking the connection or the connection can not be made.

In the case of :jgilbert, they were actively disabling accessbility which is used in Marionette so marionette wasnt able to start up.

All details are either pushed to gecko.log or adb when there are errors. This is printed out when we cant connect to the browser.

Ah thanks!

Jeff, let me know if you need anything else (and sorry for running off on Friday).
