1354791 - Unable to find moz.build metadata for testing/firefox-ui/tests/functional/security/test_safe_browsing_initial_download.py

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Developer Services :: Mercurial: hg.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Wes Kocher (:KWierso) (Not reading bugmail; email directly if needed)]

When I try to find this file's metadata, it instead gives me an error:
"unable to obtain moz.build info"

I don't know why this is happening, as the closest moz.build file I find should cover it: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/testing/firefox-ui/moz.build

Am I missing something? Is there a syntax error somewhere or something?

I guess something gets logged somewhere: https://dxr.mozilla.org/hgcustom_version-control-tools/source/hgext/hgmo/__init__.py#301-305

https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/json-mozbuildinfo?p=testing/firefox-ui/ fails with that "unable to obtain" error.


https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/json-mozbuildinfo?p=testing/ does not fail, though it doesn't list any metadata, I assume because testing/moz.build only has metadata for things matching various "with Files" conditions, which aren't there for the root "testing" folder.

https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/json-mozbuildinfo?p=testing/xpcshell/ fails with the same error.

https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/json-mozbuildinfo?p=testing/talos/ loads just fine with suggestions.

It encounters an exception. But then it raises an exception when formatting that exception to a string. Derp.

I can't reproduce this failure with `mach file-info` for this path.

I'm guessing this has to do with hg.mo's moz.build evaluation environment using an older version of the moz.build evaluation code. Whenever we introduce a new variable we need to upgrade that evaluation environment otherwise any moz.build references to unknown primitives result in failure.

[Gregory Szorc [:gps]]

Had to back these out because I kept going down the rabbit hole of more missing imports. When I hit an import for "mach" I knew something was wrong. This will require some import refactoring in the mozbuild package to cut down on bloat.

We're hitting this more and more, lately, it seems (anecdotally, at least, I don't have hard numbers for it).

[Joel Maher ( :jmaher ) (UTC -8)]

:gps, is this something you can pick up?  It would be a much cleaner fix to bug 1429030 than hacking up treeherder code that is on the edge of being hacky.

Comment 12

[Gregory Szorc [:gps]]

I doubt we'll ever fix moz.build reading on hg.mozilla.org :(

We seem to be slowly marching towards using moz.yaml files to express file-level metadata, such as bug components and suggested reviewers. We haven't formalized plans yet, but everyone involved seems to think that's what will happen. At that point, adding an API on hg.mo that parses YAML is much easier to maintain.

At this point, we may want to create a Taskcluster task that emits a file containing the bug component mapping. Then we can stand up a simple query service that consumes that. We may lose the ability to easily query an arbitrary VCS revision. But we could certainly index the heads of the major repos easily enough.

The json-mozbuildinfo endpoint is gone (bug 1523745).
