[Magnus Melin [:mkmelin]]

Didn't help :(
Apparently we get 0x80550005 which is NS_MSG_ERROR_FOLDER_SUMMARY_OUT_OF_DATE

Comment 6

[Hartmut Welpmann [:welpy-cw]]

Probably it isn't the test that's broken, see for example bug 1952311…

Comment 7

[Hartmut Welpmann [:welpy-cw]]

Since this didn't happen for a long time until 2025-03-07, maybe there is a connection to https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D238551.

[Ben Campbell]

Yep, that definitely seems like the likely culprit.
For reliability reasons the compaction now produces a new database file, which is installed atomically(ish) upon completion.
This means the database object is destroyed and recreated, which means things using that old DB need to switch to the new DB...

There is folder.notifyCompactCompleted() which tells a folder when the compaction happens. We use that to update the standard message view. That notification might also be useful to update whatever is holding onto the old database in this case?

Comment 9

[Hartmut Welpmann [:welpy-cw]]

Since this is an intermittent and relatively rare error, it may simply be caused by a change in timing. I replaced the custom URL listener in the test with a PromiseTestUtils.PromiseUrlListener (like here). While I am not sure this really fixes the failure, it at least speeds up the test considerably. Try run.

By the way, the test itself seems a bit wonky: Saved search do not reload after a compaction happened, only the affected real folders do. The original reason for the test, message selection maintained by the back-end that might break the view, isn't a thing anymore (see bug 536676).

Most likely the same root cause as bug 1952503:
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/intermittent-failures/bugdetails?startday=2025-02-20&endday=2025-03-22&tree=comm-central&failurehash=all&bug=1952463

Error 0x8052000E (2152857614) in both tests, that's NS_ERROR_FILE_IS_LOCKED.

While bug 1952311 might have had some impact on this, this may very well now be fixed by bug 1959858.
