843906 - "Not Allowed" after mozContacts.save on central/inbound; works on mozilla-b2g18

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: DOM: Device Interfaces, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Griffin (:jgriffin)]

Gaia UI tests are failing on mozilla-central and mozilla-inbound when trying to save a contact programmatically, but the same tests pass on mozilla-b2g18.  

When they fail, mozContacts.save() generates a "Not Allowed" message.  The code we use to save the contacts is here:

https://github.com/mozilla/gaia-ui-tests/blob/master/gaiatest/atoms/gaia_data_layer.js#L9

The error we get is:

E/GeckoConsole(  109): Content JS ERROR at chrome://marionette/content/marionette-listener.js:1469 in GaiaDataLayer.insertContact/req.onerror: error saving contact Not Allowed

See full log:

If this can't be fixed soon, we'll have to disable contacts tests on mozilla-central/inbound.  We're trying to green up the tests so we can unhide them in TBPL.

maybe known, but to be explicit in case it helps with debugging: mozilla-central and mozilla-inbound are gecko22, while mozilla-b2g18 is... well... gecko18.

I'm disabling test_edit_contact.py on the panda until this is resolved.

Gregor or Alberto or Francisco may have ideas here.

[Gregor Wagner [:gwagner]]

Are the tests disabled now or did we fix the problem?

We've basically deprecated panda tests for the time being; we'll get the same tests running on B2G desktop builds, and we can revisit this then if the problem recurs.
