697555 - when turning on responsiveness for tp5, the browser hangs or crashes

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: Talos, defect)

Description

[Joel Maher ( :jmaher ) (UTC -8) (PTO'ish until July 5)]

On osx 10.5.8 and 10.6.2 we fail to terminate the browser after completing the tp5 test.  Similarly on Fedora 12, we end up crashing.

so it seems as though similar symptoms exist without this, just much more infrequently:

ok, I just realized that the OSX failures were on aurora/beta which do not have the fix that ted landed.

Attachment: allow for responsiveness to be controlled by a commandline flag (1.0)

this will allow us to control responsiveness via the commandline from buildbot.

+            if self.responsiveness and ('responsiveness' in line):
+                newline = line.replace('False', 'True')
+

I don't really like this as it tightly couples the format of the file with the PerfConfigurator.  Old news, I know.  That said, this should all be cleaned up so I think its fine for now.

I think this will fix the OS X issues, but we'll still have the GTK issue, right?

[Joel Maher ( :jmaher ) (UTC -8) (PTO'ish until July 5)]

I haven't been able to reproduce the GTK issue.  That could have been a one off error on linux/firefox/tp5 unrelated to this.

landed the talos change:

Attachment: disable responsiveness for linux (1.0)

since we are seeing some browsers exiting with non zero return codes in our staging environment, lets not run tests on linux until we can figure that out.

+            if 'responsiveness' in test_config and test_config['responsiveness'] and platform.system() != "Linux":

Couldn't you just write this as:

test_config.get('responsiveness') and platform.system() != "Linux":

(same for the one below)

Otherwise, looks fine.

this has landed and has had a few data points successfully

So I notice this comment at http://hg.mozilla.org/build/talos/file/705a12151bf2/talos/ttest.py#l256 :

# ignore responsiveness tests on linux until we fix Bug 697555

Since this bug is now resolved->fixed , should we remove this code block?  Should we reopen this bug for this purpose or file another one?
