874885 - Pulse notification contains a buildid which is older than the previous_buildid

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

As we have seen today, we got a notification lately which contains some bogus build ids. In detail the buildid is older than the previous buildid.

"buildid": "20130520004018"
"previous_buildid": "20130521004018"

This totally breaks our update tests for daily builds because we check for the correct buildids.

The following notification we got via pulsebuildmonitor:

{"locale": "en-US", "testsurl": "http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-aurora-linux/1369035618/firefox-23.0a2.en-US.linux-i686.tests.zip", "previous_buildid": "20130521004018", "job_number": 1, "build_number": null, "builddate": 1369035618, "tags": ["nightly"], "platform": "linux", "version": null, "revision": "52d3f8780c6d021f140435de8d4b72bbd79761ca", "status": 0, "buildtype": "opt", "product": "firefox", "slave": "bld-linux64-ix-015", "buildername": "Linux mozilla-aurora nightly", "buildid": "20130520004018", "timestamp": "2013-05-21T20:16:15Z", "key": "build.mozilla-aurora-linux-nightly.1.log_uploaded", "logurl": "http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2013/05/2013-05-20-00-40-18-mozilla-aurora/mozilla-aurora-linux-nightly-bm61-build1-build1.txt.gz", "tree": "mozilla-aurora", "buildurl": "http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-aurora-linux/1369035618/firefox-23.0a2.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2", "release": null}

I did some digging on this over on bug 874969.

Reopening bug because it seems to be a not fixed issue yet. We got another round of strange buildids today for several locales of a Nightly build:

INFO:automation:2013-07-09T03:08:23Z - firefox None (20130702153059, en-US, linux) [mozilla-central]

For all of them the condition applies again:

INFO:automation:    previous_buildid:   20130708031114
INFO:automation:          job_number:   9
INFO:automation:        build_number:   None
INFO:automation:           builddate:   1372804259
INFO:automation:                tags:   [u'nightly']
INFO:automation:            platform:   linux
INFO:automation:             version:   None
INFO:automation:            revision:   c193fdeb4932
INFO:automation:              status:   0
INFO:automation:           buildtype:   opt
INFO:automation:             product:   firefox
INFO:automation:               slave:   bld-linux64-ix-020
INFO:automation:         buildername:   Linux mozilla-central nightly
INFO:automation:             buildid:   20130702153059

The buildid is older than the previous_buildid.

When checking the linux status file on the FTP server it also contains this old buildid and an old changeset:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/firefox-25.0a1.en-US.linux-i686.txt

20130702153059
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/c193fdeb4932

As result we stopped updates on Nightly again for Linux x86 users.

We are going to stop generating and publishing updates in bug 1173459.
