1381508 - [date] stub-installer doesn't download anything: wrong parameters given to bouncer

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Release Automation, defect)

Description

[Johan Lorenzo [:jlorenzo]]

The latest stub installer on date[1] doesn't work. It remains stuck on "Now installing" and the loading bar loads indefinitely.

I used wireshark to analyze the traffic and I noted the stub installer contacts the bouncer with:
> /?os=win64&lang=x-test&product=firefox-nightly-latest 

Naturally, bouncer redirects to:
> /pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central-l10n/firefox-56.0a1.x-test.win64.installer.exe

There are 2 things wrong in this URL:
1. the locale shouldn't be x-test, but en-US (or any other locale)
2. latest-date-l10n should be used in lieu of latest-mozilla-central-l10n.

Was r+'d by :sfraser on Github.
New release of beetmover script published by :mtabara: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1377517

win artifacts are now present in the correct latest date folder[1] (instead of [2]).

I created the "firefox-date-nightly-latest" entry in bouncer and tested it. I submitted a hotfix on date[3] (needs some extra work)

Let's now wait for [4] to see if the stub-installer is fixed.

The en-US stub installer doesn't work because it 404s locating the files under https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-date-l10n/. This patch fixes the location.

Apart from this one, I was able to install en-GB from the stub-installer!

Since the latest patch reached production, the en-US stub installer has been tested at different days, and it worked every time.
