735809 - utils.talosError: 'failed to initialize browser'

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 686085

(Testing :: Talos, defect)

Description

[Armen [:armenzg]]

I know that it fails in this try block [1] and I *suspect* that the problem happens on the first few lines:
   594       mytest = TTest(browser_config['remote'])
   595       browser_dump, counter_dump, print_format = mytest.runTest(browser_config, test)
   596       utils.debug("Received test results: " + " ".join(browser_dump))
   597       results[testname] = [browser_dump, counter_dump, print_format]

The TTest class is defined in here [2].
I assume so because I don't see the message "Received test results" on the log.
I also believe the "except" clause is reached:
 self.cleanupAndCheckForCrashes(browser_config, profile_dir) [3]
because we try to grab the minidumps [4].

I don't understand why the timestamps are so far apart when the step only run for 20 mins. [5]
