I just tried to run the following command when I got this error:

mach raptor-test --test=raptor-youtube-playback --post-startup-delay=0 --gecko-profile

I didn't change anything in that folder, so I assume some update happened here recently which is causing the update command to fail, and then to bail out from the Raptor test.

Running $ git status in that local clone shows:

HEAD detached at 2720cdc
Changes not staged for commit:

Which is:

commit 2720cdc790828952964524bb44ce8b4c14670e90 (HEAD, tag: unity-webgl-v3, tag: unity-webgl-v2)

So it's not something which was changed lately.

I was able to get the tests running again after performing a $ git checkout master -f.

I'm not seeing this error when I tried the same command (on the latest mozilla-central) but maybe because I had just pulled the latest and did a clobber and new build.
