432292 - mozilla-central unit-test machines orange due to failing reftest 413292-1.html

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Web Painting, defect)

Description

[Benjamin Smedberg]

The mozilla-central unit tests are orange (consistently) on mac due to:
REFTEST UNEXPECTED FAIL (LOADING): file:///builds/slave/darwin/build/layout/reftests/bugs/413292-1.html

http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showlog.cgi?log=Mozilla2/1210011257.1210014584.9805.gz&fulltext=1

What kinds of things can cause a reftest to fail with (LOADING)? What other peculiar things about this test might cause it to be orange here?

That test does content reloads for a while. (LOADING) failures means that there was some kind of error while loading, usually I see it when there's a missing file.

David, any other hints?

See also bug 432954 -- qm-xserve06 is hitting this exact problem as well.

Could it be that the test is just taking too long to finish -- would that cause this error due to a timeout?  Or would reftests just be patient and wait for it in that case?

I filed bug 433538 for fixing the underlying issue with this reftest failure.
