676998 - some xpcshell test in xpcom/tests/unit fail on Android

Status: NEW

(Core :: XPCOM, defect)

Description

[Geoff Brown [:gbrown]]

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

However, some tests in xpcom/test/unit fail when run on Android. The failing tests are:

xpcom/test/unit/test_bug364285-1.js
xpcom/test/unit/test_bug476919.js
xpcom/test/unit/test_home.js
xpcom/test/unit/test_symlinks.js
xpcom/test/unit/test_systemInfo.js

test_bug364285-1.js fails with:

TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | xpcshell/head.js | [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsILocalFile.createUnique]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: test_bug364285-1.js :: create_file :: line 26"  data: no]

The error only occurs on the Deseret (U+10400–U+1044F) filename.

test_476919.js fails when it cannot find file "/bin/ld" -- expected.

test_home.js fails trying to access the "Home" property:

var dirSvc = Cc["@mozilla.org/file/directory_service;1"].getService(Ci.nsIProperties);
var homeDir = dirSvc.get("Home", Ci.nsIFile);

test_symlinks.js fails when it cannot find file "/bin/ld" -- expected.

test_systemInfo.js fails on "memsize", on Android 2.2 and earlier -- see bug 660036 and 661351.

There are some new failures:

test_nsIProcess.js fails when it tries to execute TestQuickReturn. Attemping to execute this program from the shell suggests that it was not built/linked correctly:

> # ./TestQuickReturn
> link_image[1995]: failed to link ./TestQuickReturn
> CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE

test_bug745466.js also tries to access "Home".

All the "Home" failures are caused by: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/c24b721ca5c9/xpcom/io/SpecialSystemDirectory.cpp#l217. "Home" is intentionally not mapped to the "HOME" environment variable; this should be revisited in light of bug 749711 and earlier work.
