We should probably increase the amount of time we wait for the helper app to finish running in our tests.

Do you think it makes sense to increase it more or possibly make it more deterministic?
(In reply to Robert Strong [:rstrong] (do not email) from comment #7) > Do you think it makes sense to increase it more or possibly make it more > deterministic? We should probably wait to see if we still see test failures before increasing it more. As to making it more deterministic, I'm all for it, but I'm afraid I don't know how to do that...

Comment on attachment 691089 [details] [diff] [review] don't run helper.exe v3 - better comments Review of attachment 691089 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- This avoids the problem by not running post update at all. Effectively disabling part of the test that is causing problems. There's a couple reasons I'm not a fan of this approach: If there is ever a bug in running a post update, after this patch, we wouldn't see it in the tests failing anymore. If there is ever a bug in some kind of modal popup in PostUpdate being introduced, we would also not see it after this patch. Instead (in a different bug) I think we should be adding a test to make sure PostUpdate is actually run when it should be. Such a test wouldn't be possible if we took in this patch. For this bug, perhaps adding something like this to wait for helper.exe instead for both the service and non service cases? http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/toolkit/mozapps/update/test/unit/head_update.js.in.html#l708

Effectively > disabling part of the test that is causing problems. What specifically is tested when post update runs? Nothing as far as I can tell and as a matter of fact the test is oblivious to post update. When I added the first tests for the updater way back when the build systems were not to be modified and post update modifies the registry. I have been told in passing that we can do so now but that needs to be verified. > > There's a couple reasons I'm not a fan of this approach: > If there is ever a bug in running a post update, after this patch, we > wouldn't see it in the tests failing anymore. > If there is ever a bug in some kind of modal popup in PostUpdate being > introduced, we would also not see it after this patch. That is not what this test was written to test and since it isn't written for it doesn't handle the case where it is currently causing oranges. It also didn't catch the bug where the post update exe was showing a UI a short while back. > Instead (in a different bug) I think we should be adding a test to make sure > PostUpdate is actually run when it should be. > Such a test wouldn't be possible if we took in this patch. That is not true whatsoever. When I added the xpcshell tests I made sure that they were very focused on the actual thing they are trying to test. I agree this should be tested in xpcshell but there is nothing preventing us from adding a new xpcshell test that actually tests this whereas this test doesn't actually test this functionality... not only on Windows but also on Mac OS X where post update is also available. Such a test should just verify that just the updater performs correctly. Another test outside of the update tests should be added (likely not under update) to verify that if a post update exe is defined that the post update exe does the right thing.

Attached patch patch rev4 — — Splinter Review
This prevents the running of helper.exe everywhere except for test_0201_app_launch_apply_update_svc.js which will lessen the number of oranges while still addressing the immediately addressable concern raised in comment #143. After bug 820933 and bug 820934 are fixed test_0201_app_launch_apply_update_svc.js can have the same fix as the rest of the tests.

Note: one of the things I didn't like about the service and staging tests is that I am fairly certain they test the same code paths that are already tested by other tests which is not necessary but I didn't want perfect to be the enemy of good to get in the way of those landing. It would be a good thing to try to clean all of these up but there is higher priority work atm.
> What specifically is tested when post update runs? Nothing as far as I can tell and as a Just an example but let's say inside the function LaunchWinPostProcess there was a bug that caused a crash. As of this new patch that crash wouldn't be seen by us. Yup agreed that we can do another test. > and as a matter of fact the test is oblivious to post update. I didn't claim anything tested if PostUpdate was run, and in particular I did later comment that I would like to see that tested in the future but not as part of this bug, and not as part of this test is OK by me. > That is not what this test was written to test and since it isn't written for > it doesn't handle the case where it is currently causing oranges. Nevertheless I believe this patch does reduce the coverage of the code that is run during updates. Failures often show up even if it's not for the exact thing a test was designed for. Thanks for posting bug 820934 which would re-introduce this code coverage. > It also didn't catch the bug where the post update exe was showing a > UI a short while back. I believe that bug only showed up when there were some special files in the installation dir that were being put there by an unrelated installer bug. There will always be cases that are outside of what our tests cover, but we would still be reducing what is tested with this patch in general. > That is not true whatsoever.

If we added 2 such tests that actually run PostUpdate though, we may run into this same intermittent problem as this. > Note: one of the things I didn't like about the service and staging tests is that I am > fairly certain they test the same code paths that are already tested by other tests which > is not necessary I agree with making smaller more focused unit tests are better. I didn't write those tests by the way but am very thankful to the person that did. I did do quite a bit of intermittent fixes on them though. > but I didn't want perfect to be the enemy of good to get in the way of > those landing. I'm very aware of this principle and agree with it wholeheartedly. > It would be a good thing to try to clean all of these up but there is higher > priority work atm. Agreed. ---- Summary: It is a valid concern that there will be less of the code covered, even if the tests were not designed to test that specifically. And that's why I brought it up. If you're OK with the temporary loss of code coverage until bug 820934 lands, you can go ahead and r=me with rev3. The patch looks good otherwise. Please go with patch v4 if you would like to still have coverage of the code I mentioned above though.

I'm not sure I understand. With this patch we still launch the post update process but instead of launching it (in the same way) across 4 tests it is only launched once. How does this reduce the code coverage? As I see it, it is just running it once instead of 4 times.
The initial comments were in relation to patch v3 which existed at the time of your first reply without v4 existing. See the summary section for clarification vs v4 though.
Cool and thanks!

I think this should be enough. It is safe to delete the helper.exe in this instance since it is deleting the copy of helper.exe and not the one in dist/bin/uninstall
