773703 - on B2G xpcshell always returns 1

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: XPConnect, defect)

Description

[Mihnea Dobrescu-Balaur (:mihneadb)]

Running the XPCShell tests on B2G, every test suite shows that "test failed; xpcshell exited with return code 1; see following log:" and the log that follows only contains "test-pass" and "test-info". So for some reason it returns 1 even when everything is OK.

If this is actually a bug in the xpcshell binary, then the right component is Core:XPConnect.

We've verified that xpcshell always exits with a return code of 1 on B2G, even after successfully running tests.

I mostly meant that you should try running xpcshell itself without the test harness and see if the behavior reproduces. If so then it's certainly a bug in the xpcshell binary. If not, then it might just be a harness bug.

We see the same thing when running on Android devices: see bug 768491.

Weird return codes everytime. Also, it might be that the get_return_code logic (which basically runs echo $? and parses that) truncates it to only the first digit and get the 1 from thre?
