862235 - xpcshell-tests says all tests passed even when a dynamic linker failure prevented them all from running

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Testing :: XPCShell Harness, defect)

Description

[Brian Smith (:briansmith, :bsmith, use NEEDINFO?)]

Attachment: Test log showing 24 tests passed when really they were never run because of a dynamic linker error

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #547818 +++

link_image[1936]:  6163 could not load needed library 'libmozglue.so' for '/data/local/xpcb/xpcshell' (load_library[1091]: Library 'libmozglue.so' not found)CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE

Yet the test is is claimed to have passed, and is counted on the "Passed: " line of the summary at the end of the run. See the attached log (which was on a run of runtestsb2g.py on a B2G device).

I think this is a consequence of bug 773703. For a long time, xpcshell was crashing on exit on b2g and android (on some devices); the return code was ignored to work around the shutdown crash.
