norris checked in shortly before shrike started a continuous orange
streak about 36 hours ago.

[Norris Boyd]

I can't reproduce using either Windows or Linux. Pulling a fresh tree on Linux
to see if I can see this.

Just to be clear on the steps: I add the new prefs below, start the app, and
load www.mozilla.org/quality/mailnews/APITest.html.

Comment 2

[Chris McAfee]

Yes, I believe those are the right steps.
If this still works for you, reassign to me
and I will try tinderbox again.

Comment 3

[Suresh]

Norris, did u see the output on the Console/Browser after loading the page?
(Something like MAILNEWS TEST: Passed/Failed")

Comment 4

[Norris Boyd]

Yes, I got

MAILNEWS TEST: Passed

Comment 5

[Suresh]

Reassigning to mcafee.

Comment 6

[Chris McAfee]

This seems to be working for me, marking so.

Comment 7

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

adding verifyme keyword.  

Comment 8

[lchiang]

this is pretty old now.  I will mark verified.

Do we still even have those tests as part of the smoketests?

Comment 9

[Chris McAfee]

the test is checked in, but not used.
We could never make it stable enough.
