1440951 - TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | /builds/slave/test/build/tests/mozmill/composition/test-attachment.js | test-attachment.js::test_attachment_reordering

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Testing Infrastructure, defect)

Description

[:aceman]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1416474 +++

In bug 1416474 we landed some tests for the attachment reordering feature.
The test works on Windows and Mac and should detect breakage in that feature.
Unfortunately the test fails on Linux, mostly on Buildbot runs (rarely on Taskcluster).

The failure usually is:
SUMMARY-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | test-attachment.js | test-attachment.js::test_attachment_reordering
  EXCEPTION: a != b: 'C' != 'bb'.
  at: test-folder-display-helpers.js line 2913
    assert_true test-folder-display-helpers.js:2913 11
    assert_equals test-folder-display-helpers.js:2900 3
    check_attachment_names test-attachment.js:319 5
    subtest_reordering test-attachment.js:405 5
    test_attachment_reordering test-attachment.js:751 3

This should be a timing problem again, as it works on other platforms and also on Linux locally.

Note that I re-enabled the tests which were allegedly blocked by bug 617311 as well.
