538377 - Request a tinderbox clone to help debug magic orange a11y test failures

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[David Bolter [:davidb] (NeedInfo me for attention)]

We recently had some nearly consistent test failures on the a11y test tinderboxen. We have disabled the tests but I would like to recreate, and it doesn't appear to be reproducable locally (for anyone).

If it makes sense, I'd like to have access to a clone of a tinderbox machine. I only need one platform... linux would be fine. Is this easily doable?

It is.

Phong, please clone the linux ref platform VM for David, then pass the bug back to us for scrubbing and hand off.

David, you'll need access to the MPT VPN. File a bug in mozilla.org::Server Ops 
asking for that if you don't already have access.

What should we call this VM?  I should be able to get something out today.

:davidb, do you still need this machine?  If so, we can move it to sjc1.  Otherwise, we'll kill it.

Not needed ATM.
