1658733 - Unhelpful "MINIDUMP_STACKWALK not set, can't process dump." despite having installed it via mach bootstrap

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: Mozbase, defect, P3)

Description

[Rob Wu [:robwu]]

Since bug 1635834, mach bootstrap --no-system installs minidump_stackwalk, e.g. to ~/.mozbuild/minidump_stackwalk/minidump_stackwalk

Despite the binary being present, the following error still appears:

MINIDUMP_STACKWALK not set, can't process dump.

It would be helpful to recognize the installed minidump_stackwalk.
Or at least add more useful information, e.g. by adding a message like this:

MINIDUMP_STACKWALK not set, can't process dump.
A minidump_stackwalk binary was found at ~/.mozbuild/minidump_stackwalk/minidump_stackwalk

( or if the file is not found: )

Use mach bootstrap --no-system to install minidump_stackwalk.

This is the command that I use to get the desired symbolized stack trace:
MINIDUMP_STACKWALK=~/.mozbuild/minidump_stackwalk/minidump_stackwalk ./mach test ...
