801885 - Green out the Windows XP test failures when running on iX multi-node systems

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 770579

(Testing :: General, defect, P4)

Description

[Chris Cooper [:coop] (he/him)]

We're trying out new iX hardware for XP testing in bug 770579. Many of the tests have reported green, but of course there are some oranges to deal with.

Suites that are green:
debug crashtest
debug mochitests-2/5
debug mochitests-3/5
debug mochitests-4/5
debug mochitests-5/5
debug mochitest-other
debug reftest
opt crashtest
opt jstest
opt mochitests-2/5
opt mochitests-3/5
opt mochitests-4/5
opt mochitests-5/5
opt mochitest-other
opt reftest
talos chromez
talos dirtypaint
talos nochromer
talos dromaeojs
talos svgr
talos other
talos tpn

Suites that are orange:
debug jetpack
debug mochitests-1/5
debug xpcshell
opt jetpack
opt mochitests-1/5
opt xpcshell

I'll update with specifics of the oranges as I dive into the logs.

I've uploaded the test logs to people for posterity: https://people.mozilla.com/~coop/bug801885/

Here are the unexpected fail tallies from each log:

xp_ix_debug_jetpack.log       - UNEXPECTED-FAIL: 0
xp_ix_debug_mochitest_1_5.log - UNEXPECTED-FAIL: 4
xp_ix_debug_xpcshell.log      - UNEXPECTED-FAIL: 91
xp_ix_opt_jetpack.log         - UNEXPECTED-FAIL: 0
xp_ix_opt_mochitest_1_5.log   - UNEXPECTED-FAIL: 4
xp_ix_opt_xpcshell.log        - UNEXPECTED-FAIL: 91

xpcshell looks like probably the maintenance service wasn't installed, since it's 91 update tests; mochitest-1 is apparently bug 745748/bug 729832, test_a4_tone.html expects a sound card, or a fake one, or some such, so that's an actual failure of the hardware to do what we want; the jetpack failures look to me like bug 771847, except that it claims "opt" and doesn't seem to be all that permaorange (or even happening much at all) in the wild.

The Jetpack logs say they're using a revision of the SDK that was from a month ago. I don't think we did anything specifically to fix that clipboard failure (it seems to have just faded away, for the most part) recently, but it might be worth re-running those tests with a more recent pull from mozilla-central. (I updated it to current code yesterday, so it'd need to be a really recent pull.)

For test_a4_tone.html I installed Virtual Audio Cable on Windows 7 and it started passing.

For the maintenance service I run this:
* Deploy Mozilla Maintenance Service
** Use "Run as Administrator" to start a command prompt and run the following: 
cd c:\
wget -O installservice.bat --no-check-certificate https://bug704578.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=579099
schtasks /create /tn mozillamaintenance /tr "c:\\windows\\system32\\cmd.exe /c \"c:\\installservice.bat\"" /sc ONSTART /ru SYSTEM
wget -O keys.reg --no-check-certificate https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=577617
regedit /s keys.reg
wget -O MozRoot.crt --no-check-certificate https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=577619
wget -O add_cert.msc --no-check-certificate https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=579119
start add_cert.msc
** From menu: Action -> All Tasks -> Import...  launches Certificate Import Wizard 
** Click Next 
** Browse and use C:\MozRoot.crt 
** Next, Next, Finish 
** Close the MMC window

I don't want to have more bugs than necessary.
I'm taking care of this on bug 770579.
