[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+2]]

Kagami, I wonder if this might be related to your work on bug 1960651 which landed at the same day when those failures started to happen.

Comment 3

[Kagami Rosylight 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ [:saschanaz] (they/them)]

Almost all of them are xpcshell-msix-1 ? 🤔

Comment 4

[Kagami Rosylight 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ [:saschanaz] (they/them)]

It's also weird because per the log everything went as expected, why the error?

Comment 5

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+2]]

Based on that comment in the test IndexDB seems to be required for geolocation? If yes, look those failures around this component:

Maybe the database is corrupt?

Yeah, but even then the test passes and then exits with a "channel error"?

Hi Nick, given this is MSIX specific, have you seen this kind of error on MSIX?

Comment 11

[Nick Alexander :nalexander [he/him]]

Hi Nick, given this is MSIX specific, have you seen this kind of error on MSIX?

Sorry, no. I could imagine many things here: issues with IndexedDB specific to MSIX; issues with geolocation under MSIX; basic races. It's quite challenging to iterate on this locally, but we may have instructions written down somewhere.

Max: does this ring any bells for you? I think you worked on some MSIX tests, could you direct to testing docs if they exist? Thanks!

Comment 12

[Kagami Rosylight 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ [:saschanaz] (they/them)]

Skipping do_get_profile still allows the test to pass, I wonder we can just skip it and proceed?

Attachment: Bug 1963348 - Fix failure in test_geolocation_position_unavailable_wrap.js, r=sstanca

@sstanca: You wrote:

// XPCShell does not get a profile by default. The geolocation service

do_get_profile();

Do you have an overview of this situation that would allow you to know if that is required here, too?

Comment 15

[Max Christian Pohle [:/dev/max]]

I am also not aware that I have seen something similar, but the other error about UrlNotUsedHere could be a copy and paste error:

test_geolocation_position_unavailable.js has UrlNotUsedHere: (with a colon) and

test_geolocation_position_unavailable_wrap.js (=this test) has UrlNotUsedHere (without colon)

Comment 16

[Kagami Rosylight 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ [:saschanaz] (they/them)]

I think either UrlNotUsedHere is intentional, the test simulates a broken server URL and either way it's broken as expected.

Comment 17

[Kagami Rosylight 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ [:saschanaz] (they/them)]

No failures happened today after bug 1966151 landed (per the graph), so I'm cautiously closing this. Please reopen if failures happen again. And sorry for the big noise.
