1729551 - test failure in toolkit/components/antitracking/test/xpcshell/test_staticPartition_font.js on apple silicon

Status: NEW

(Core :: Privacy: Anti-Tracking, defect, P3)

Description

[[e-mail] (:bhearsum)]

Last week we turned on tests for Apple Silicon (OSX 11.2.3 on new Apple based hardware). We are using the simplified new test config process:
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/testing/ci-configs/index.html

As the tests are live, we are now filing bugs to help close the loop and hope to fix any issues over the next 7 weeks. As the process outlines, there are tier-3 jobs running on m-c which run these skipped tests and will expect a failure/timeout/crash- if it doesn't fail, then the job will turn orange.

Here's a link to a log showing the failure: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/jobs?repo=mozilla-central&tier=1%2C2%2C3&searchStr=macosx1100&revision=eac40293649628d32911c909219d514bebb8ce63&test_paths=toolkit%2Fcomponents%2Fantitracking%2Ftest%2Fxpcshell&selectedTaskRun=bN5NfSCESuubbzrtos0O5Q.0

Seeing the link to the failure test, the test test_staticPartition_font.js didn't fail.

Ben, could you check this again? Thanks.

I see this in the log:
[task 2021-09-07T11:43:39.562Z] 11:43:39 INFO - TEST-FAIL | toolkit/components/antitracking/test/xpcshell/test_staticPartition_font.js | took 1859ms

The logs are a little bit different because this is a "failures" job (where test failures are considered passes). I just re-pushed an un-annotated version in https://treeherder.mozilla.org/jobs?repo=try&revision=1f774f479ff8783dccc8ee3ab4fe6e97816ca793, which should look more familiar when completed.
