1261884 - Running a single a11y test also runs browser_autocomplete_a11y_label.js

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Testing :: Mochitest, defect)

Description

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

Attachment: a.txt

From discussion in bug 1138426, comment 8:
If I run this test for example: ./mach mochitest a11y accessible/tests/mochitest/jsat/test_tables.html
It also runs this test afterwards:
 browser/base/content/test/general/browser_autocomplete_a11y_label.js
Why is that?

Attached is the log while running the test_tables.html test.

This is my .mozconfig:
ac_add_options --enable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-accessibility
ac_add_options --enable-signmar

# Enable parallel compiling
mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j12"
mk_add_options AUTOCLOBBER=1

# Treat warnings as errors in directories with FAIL_ON_WARNINGS.
# ac_add_options --enable-warnings-as-errors
ac_add_options --with-ccache


# Package js shell.
export MOZ_PACKAGE_JSSHELL=1

Andrew, do you perhaps know why this is happening for me? Why is browser_autocomplete_a11y_label.js running for me afterwards?

I think you mean to use -f/--flavor. This will limit the run to only a11y, e.g:
./mach mochitest -f a11y <path/to/tests>

But using --flavor isn't needed when only running a single test. The flavor will automatically be determined in this case. So this should also work the same:
./mach mochitest accessible/tests/mochitest/jsat/test_tables.html

In case you're interested, what your command line is doing is passing in the string "a11y" into mozbuild.testing.TestResolver. For some reason (don't ask me why), TestResolver determined that browser_autocomplete_a11y_label.js is the only test that that string resolves to. Must be looking for a substring match in the test name or something.
