541436 - browser-chrome autorun runs tests too soon?

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Testing :: Mochitest, defect)

Description

[(not currently active) Ted Mielczarek]

If I run:
make mochitest-browser-chrome TEST_PATH=toolkit/crashreporter/test/browser/browser_aboutCrashesResubmit.js

the test fails. If I run:
python _tests/testing/mochitest/runtests.py --browser-chrome --test-path=toolkit/crashreporter/test/browser/browser_aboutCrashesResubmit.js
wait a second, and click "run tests", the test passes.

If I bump the timeout here:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/mochitest/browser-harness.xul#133
to 2000, the test passes, so it seems clear that something's not initialized by the time the tests start, but I don't know what. When the test fails, I get two error console entries of the form:
TEST-INFO | chrome://mochikit/content/browser/toolkit/crashreporter/test/browser/browser_aboutCrashesResubmit.js | Console message: [JavaScript Error: "uncaught exception: 2147500037"]

Running the equivalent mach command from comment 0 works for me. This was probably fixed by bug 851516 (which was reworked a little in bug 896711).
