372939 - mochitest gets hung up on .swp files, if they are present

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: Mochitest, defect)

Description

[Ray Kiddy]

I am editing test files on my intel Mac running 10.4.8. If I am actually using vi and have a file open, vi writes a temporary file to the directory that my file is in.

If I am editing foo.txt, it creates a temporary file named .foo.txt.swp.

If I am editing aMochiTest.html, then there is a .aMochiTest.html.swp file. If I run the mochitest harness, it sees the .aMochiTest.html.swp file and asks what to do with it. It cannot load it, and if one hits the <Cancel> button, it cancels the entire mochitest run.

The server.js can be made to ignore dot files. Arguably, it should.
