775729 - "OS X opt" and "OS X debug" tests on Try Server are always orange now ("TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | automation.py | Exited with code -6 during test run")

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Jason Orendorff [:jorendorff]]

https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try shows all Mac test runs are coming back orange with T-FAIL, L-FAIL and this message:

TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | automation.py | Exited with code -6 during test run
TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | automationutils.processLeakLog() | missing output line for total leaks!

Looking at the logs, it seems no tests are actually running; it's as thought the browser crashes on startup, but there's no stack.

I even tried pushing an empty changeset, to make absolutely sure it isn't us developers.

Green on mozilla-inbound:
  https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Mozilla-Inbound&rev=bfdfb713816e

Orange on Try (exact same tree, just a single extra empty try-chooser changeset):

Also https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=3a47fd368a3e or for a non-JS push, https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=56de5439a1dd (though the latter doesn't have build results back for the other platforms yet)

I think the problem here is that "macosx" in try syntax refers to OSX 10.5 builds, which most people don't want. "macosx64" is what you want here.

It also looks like you get tests on 10.5 when using -p all.

Comment 4

[Jason Orendorff [:jorendorff]]

OK, changing the summary to describe something fixable. :)

Making the try chooser syntax treat "-p all" as including only platforms we actually support would fix this.

In the meantime I will gleefully ignore the "Mac OSX" lines.

This was caused by bug 772682, which raised the requirements on trunk to 10.6, thereby burning the 10.5 builds.

You need to request 10.6/10.7 builds along the lines of comment 4. I have filed bug 775744 to get trychooser to treat 10.5 as opt-in rather than opt-out.

In the meantime, I have hidden the 10.5 builds on Try to reduce confusion until bug 775744 lands.

Posted to dev.platform advising people update any instances of -p macosx to -p macosx64 :
