Hi Andrew!
What is the work that is needed to be done to fix the issue? Can you give me a brief overview of the work that is needed to be done
Is it related to the bug#1465785(Convert the JS tests suites to Python 3)?

[Andrew Halberstadt [:ahal]]

No, this is unrelated.

It's a metabug to convert our test harness code from Python 2 -> Python 3. Mostly it's stuff that lives under /testing. However all our test harnesses use the build system to some degree. So we've been holding off on starting anything until that is fixed.

There are two tasks that are generally helpful at this point:

1. Get more Python unittests running under Python 3
2. Get more mach commands running under Python 3

I'll file a bug for you and CC you on it.

Thanks! Please do CC me on the bug. I'll look into it
Which are the python unittests and mach command that you talking about and their working directories
