First time failure: 
2012-03-25 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investigation details: 

Failures are reproducible locally (see local report) on Ubuntu and Mac systems. Code in teardownModule fails, specifically this callback: 

           'places.restoreDefaultBookmarks();' 

Went further in the test API and found the exact code line which triggers the problem: 
            
           '// Fire off the import
            var bookmarksURI = utils.createURI(BOOKMARKS_RESOURCE);
            var importer = Cc["@mozilla.org/browser/places/import-export-service;1"].
                           getService(Ci.nsIPlacesImportExportService);
            // XXX: FAILS 
            importer.importHTMLFromURI(bookmarksURI, true);'

The mxr.mozilla.org shows that 'importer.importHTMLFromURI' from /browser/components/nsBrowserGlue.js is not present for the default branch anymore. It is present for mozilla-aurora, mozilla-beta, mozilla-release branches.

Pleaese check which patch for Firefox has been removed this method and mark the corresponding bug to block.

Of course, that would be the next thing to do - reported the bug with the info so far, not to delay the report any further until the investigation and fix are provided

Marking dependency, the following attachment removed our method

Looks like what we need is:

Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/BookmarkHTMLUtils.jsm");
BookmarkHTMLUtils.importFromURL(fp.fileURL.spec, false);

Yes, but not only that - We need to re-think our helper function because we don't add Observer's anymore to ensure that bookmarks are created. 

If we try only those two lines, the above method 

var importObserver = {
    observe: function (aSubject, aTopic, aData) {
      if (aTopic == TOPIC_BOOKMARKS_RESTORE_SUCCESS) {
        importSuccessful = true;
      }
    } 

will have 'importSuccessful = false' all the time and we will fail with a timeout 
on the next waitFor, meaning this code here 

mozmill.utils.waitFor(function () {
      return importSuccessful;
    }, "Default bookmarks have finished importing", BOOKMARKS_TIMEOUT);
  }

So its not that easy

This kind of problem wouldn't happen if mozmill tests lived in m-c (developers would identify the issue before patches landed). I haven't followed mozmill development closely, though I vaguely recall that there were some mozmill tests in m-c at one point - did we abandon that as a goal?

Not exactly sure what you are talking about, but I will come up with a simple fix in a bit.

Yes we had but we were dropped due to instabilities. We will not try it again before we haven't moved to Mozmill 2.0 which is way more stable. Work on this will largely happen in Q2/2012.

Attachment: Patch v1

Simply drops the observer calls and replaces the two before mentioned lines. Also a bit of clean-up beside.
