the gfx/tests/mochitest/test_acceleration.html test is part of the "gpu" subsuite of tests, and on windows, that test suite runs on a VM with gpu support [1]. However, the test-verify job does not [2][3] (it falls back to the default of "virtual"). This means that if a gpu-subsuite test runs in the test-verify job, it doesn't have the GPU available and so fails. This happened in [4] for example.

Thanks :kats. I was aware of this vulnerability in general, but couldn't put my finger on where this would be a practical problem -- this is a good example.

I may need to think a little about how to solve this...

this doesn't work on exceptions like:
* win10 reftests (hardware)
* xlarge vs large (we default to xlarge for test-verify)
* win10-qr specific gpu needs

while this isn't perfect it might be a starting point to come up with better ideas... :)

find tests that need gpu and run them on gpu instances

As you say, this doesn't solve the whole problem, but it certainly helps, and I don't have a better idea.

Wow, that's ugly, and I have no idea how accurate it is.

Why are these different from the file_patterns? No reftest?

I'm not sure the #gpu comments add value.

thanks for the review, I know the gpu tests file patterns are ugly- as far as I know we are not changing what is defined as gpu at all- I think it is a rare exception that a new file pattern would show up.

Regarding the other comment as to why the file patterns don't match.  I added code comments to address the specifics, but in short the file_patterns for regular test-verify will pick up tests that are gpu specific.  It will not pick up 'reftest', so we don't need that.  the file_patterns need to be more specific (i.e. test_*), but once we have the list of matched files to the file_patterns, we can filter that down by directory name.

I have addressed the other nits as well as inclusive schedules!
