759584 - Lots of CI failures with TypeError: this.curBrowser is null

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Remote Protocol :: Marionette, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Griffin (:jgriffin)]

On the CI, many test runs have half or more of the tests failing with:

MarionetteException: {'message': "error occurred while processing 'setScriptTimeout' request: TypeError: this.curBrowser is null", 'from': 'conn18.marionette1', 'error': 'unknownError'}

Some runs pass, however.

My guess is that there is some timing issue on the (slow) CI machine which causes use to try and do things before gecko is really fully started up.

This bug is very old; we'll open a new one if we see this problem in current automation.
