676963 - xpcshell test ipc/testshell/tests/test_ipcshell.js fails on Android

Status: NEW

(Core :: IPC, defect)

Description

[Geoff Brown [:gbrown] (pto Apr 11-18)]

With patches for bug 668349 and 668351, xpcshell tests can be run on an Android device, and the majority of tests pass. 

However, ipc/testshell/tests/test_ipcshell.js consistently fails when run on Android.

What's the failure message?

Attachment: output from test

This log shows the output from:

 make SOLO_FILE=test_ipcshell.js -C ipc/testshell check-one-remote

(there are a lot of warnings and error messages).

Lots of scary things in there, but the Real Bug is

typein:Error: cannot open file 'test_ipcshell_child.js' for reading
typein:ReferenceError: runtime is not defined

Looks like some search path or packaging step isn't being done right for android.

I verified that test_ipcshell.js and test_ipcshell_child.js are in the same directory in the Android environment. Also note that we cd to the test's "here" directory (the directory containing test_ipcshell.js and test_ipcshell_child.js: /data/local/tests/xpcshell/ipc/testshell/tests) immediately before executing xpcshell.
