1917819 - Specifying xpcshell test file path for mach try fuzzy runs no tasks

Status: ASSIGNED

(Developer Infrastructure :: Try, defect)

Description

[Jari Jalkanen]

Previously, issuing ./mach try fuzzy dom/indexedDB/test/unit/test_index_getAll.js --full -q 'testlinux64qrdebugxpcshell' chose the tasks matching the characters in the query 'testlinux64qrdebugxpcshell' and executed the test case with a path dom/indexedDB/test/unit/test_index_getAll.js , as expected.

Currently, issuing the same request runs the linters, a decision task and does nothing else, see https://treeherder.mozilla.org/jobs?revision=9a3b56724490041e57e28875831c8d2431766c50&repo=try.

Specifying a directory path (or leaving the path out), as in ./mach try fuzzy dom/indexedDB/test/unit/ --full -q 'testlinux64qrdebugxpcshell' works as expected and runs all the tests in the specified directory.

Could we please get back the functionality to run only specified tests?

Andrew, do you know what changed this behavior?

No, I'm not aware of anything that I'd expect to cause this. Though to be honest I'm kind of surprised that running specific tests used to work. I always thought that was unsupported and recommended folks pass in directories instead.

Here is the function responsible for filtering tasks by path:

It does look like there was a substantial refactor to it back in June, so maybe that was the regression? This was bug 1898051
