I tried to use mach to run an xpcshell test. It didn't work, and the error message does not say anything.

Here is the output:

$ ./mach xpcshell-test toolkit/mozapps/extensions/test/xpcshell/test_dictionary
.js
Traceback (most recent call last):

Here is the make equivalent that works:

$ pymake SOLO_FILE="test_dictionary.js" -C obj-i686-pc-mingw32/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/test/ check-one

This is really similar to bug 799041 - possibly even a dupe.
