Details

When running locally (linux) mach xpcshell-test, the file memory/replace/dmd/test/script-sort-by.json.gz seems to get modified. This file happens to be under version control, so it then appears as part of a submitted patch.
With hg revert -C memory/replace/dmd/test/script-sort-by.json.gz the situation can be repaired locally (until the next run).

The severity field is not set for this bug.
:jmaher, could you have a look please?

this sounds frustrating. looking at the hg log for that file, it seems to be affected by many changes and backouts- in 2020 prompt tests were updated in bug 1615588, but this seemed to just touch the .gz file and nothing related to memory/dmd, not sure if that was intentional or not ( https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D66450 ), then we migrated to python3 earlier this year in bug 1696531, this touched the dmd stuff, but I am struggling to find the exact patch that touched the .gz file.

my bet is on python3 and some api/call doing something slightly unintentional.

Severity: -- → S2
Priority: -- → P3

FWIW, I hit this again and the correct command to recover is hg revert -r central memory/replace/dmd/test/script-sort-by.json.gz.

I am not sure what to do with this specific bug, am leaning towards resolving as worksforme.

IIRC I did not encounter this for long enough to think the same.
