866189 - mochitest --repeat is broken

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 508664

(Testing :: Mochitest, defect)

Description

[(no longer active)]

Try running:

./mach mochitest-plain --repeat 10000 content/media/webaudio/test/test_delayNode.html 

The browser hangs after opening up.  It seems like we get into some sort of an infinite loop when running TestRunner code.

Does this work if you pass a directory for the test path? There have always been weird differences between running a single test and a directory of tests.

Yes it seems to work fine with directory arguments.

There's a bug on this, but I can't find it right now. jmaher had a patch but it never got finished.

hmm, I can't seem to find the bug related to this, although I remember something from about 1.5-2 years ago.
