1751791 - SUT task might not be running properly- locally it errors with no profile

Status: NEW

(Testing :: General, task)

In Bug 587344, the SUT task was added. This launches the browser and makes sure it doesn't crash after 30 seconds, then determines it is ok.

I was running this locally:
python3 ./mach python testing/mozharness/scripts/does_it_crash.py --run-for 30 --thing-url https://firefox-ci-tc.services.mozilla.com/api/queue/v1/task/CTHMfw1fTBaDsckpbqr9NQ/artifacts/public /build/target.installer.exe --thing-to-run core/firefox.exe

which is the command from the log file, and it downloaded and launched a browser, but instead I get a popup dialog:
Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

We are not passing in a profile via any args, so I assume there must be a default place it is looking which doesn't exist.

on OSX:
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 /usr/local/bin/python3 ./mach python testing/mozharness/scripts/does_it_crash.py --run-for 30 --thing-url https://firefox-ci-tc.services.mozilla.com/api/queue/v1/task/D_N4fc1yQ-edzy_elPTx2w/artifacts/public/build/target.dmg --thing-to-run Contents/MacOS/firefox

on linux:
python3 ./mach python testing/mozharness/scripts/does_it_crash.py --run-for 30 --thing-url https://firefox-ci-tc.services.mozilla.com/api/queue/v1/task/NfWt1JfgTgOov0CVnqtKDA/artifacts/public/build/target.tar.bz2 --thing-to-run firefox

what I see locally is the firefox dialog sits around complaining about a missing profile for 30 seconds, then the browser closes and we mark it as success.

On OSX for me I ran:
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 /usr/local/bin/python3 ./mach python testing/mozharness/scripts/does_it_crash.py --run-for 30 --thing-url https://firefox-ci-tc.services.mozilla.com/api/queue/v1/task/D_N4fc1yQ-edzy_elPTx2w/artifacts/public/build/target.dmg --thing-to-run Contents/MacOS/firefox,

Which passed and I did not see any dialog mentioning a missing profile (only setting Nightly as default or the session restore page once I ran it a few times)

thanks :masterwayz, so there is no urgent need to do anything here- it could be some hiccup on windows locally.
