Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 302348

(AUS Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Peter van der Woude [:Peter6]]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051121 Firefox/1.5 ID:2005112104

Update channel - "Nightly"

repro
1. Get the 20051120 nightly build.
2. Press Check for Updates.
3. There is an update available -- continue

result: Update spins forever.
there is no way to stop it (closing down doesn't help)

workaround:
close FF
open /update/0/... (any file)
close FF
open FF and see it is still spinning
press check for updates
result... it downloads the full .mar

Confirmed, when trying to update from Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051120 Firefox/1.6a1 ID:2005112006 it says that no update is found.

I reopened bug 317305 because I'm not entirely sure this is an AUS issue. FYI.

Pacifica(Win32) and Atlantia(OSX) have locked up (both on branch) , but this happened well after release of the nightlies

Comment 7

[Chris Cooper [:coop] (he/him)]

The staging server ran out of space yesterday, which could account for the 0 byte updates, which might also account for the hangs as well.

Comment 8

[Chris Cooper [:coop] (he/him)]

I've re-uploaded the full mar files for all three platforms. It will take a little while for these to mirror everywhere.

Comment 9

[Peter van der Woude [:Peter6]]

we're not going to get a small .mar for 20051121->20051122 , right ?

Comment 10

[Chris Cooper [:coop] (he/him)]

I've removed the 0-byte partial update files from the staging server. Hopefully that will generate clean failures/full updates instead of hangs.

Hey, why can't I vote on this bug?  Problem here as well.

Comment 12

[James Ross]

The product this bug is filed in (AUS) probably doesn't allow voting (the Bugzilla voting configuration is per-product).

Comment 13

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

Should someone post a bug about client behavior when a .mar file is not available?    Arguably, the client should fail gracefully when encountering a missing or damaged .mar file.

[Nick Thomas [:nthomas] (UTC+12)]

Bug 302348 sorta covers that, but it needs clarification.

Comment 15

[Chris Cooper [:coop] (he/him)]

These particular nightly updates (20051120->20051121) aren't going to happen at this point, so I'm duping this under bug 302348 and adding some potential testcases to that bug in the hopes of avoiding future problems.
