Geoff, I don't think this is exactly bug 1335501, but I believe I've seen a couple of instances of this in the past.
It seems to me that the storage is either unavailable, or the harness is unable to cd into the right folder.

Thanks for pointing this out. It is different from bug 1335501, and I hadn't noticed it before.

I see:

[task 2017-01-31T21:25:02.497846Z] 21:25:02     INFO -  pushing /home/worker/workspace/build/tests/xpcshell/tests
[task 2017-01-31T21:30:54.147389Z] 21:30:54     INFO -  mozdevice Timeout exceeded for _runCmd call 'adb shell unzip -o /storage/sdcard/tests/xpc/adbdmtmp.zip -d /storage/sdcard/tests/xpc'

which probably means that the tests directory on the device was not fully created. I think that explains all the following errors:

[task 2017-01-31T21:32:10.329116Z] 21:32:10     INFO -  PROCESS | modules/libjar/zipwriter/test/unit/test_bug419769_1.js | /data/local/xpcb/xpcw[14]: cd: /storage/sdcard/tests/xpc/modules/libjar/zipwriter/test/unit: No such file or directory

The root cause of the failure might just be bug 1321605. Or a longer timeout might be required on that unzip...and probably better error handling.

But the good news is that my fix for bug 1335501 will handle this case too: Since "Timeout exceeded for _runCmd call" is reported, the job will be abandoned and automatically retried, and this type of failure should no longer result in a bug being filed.
