Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Mozilla QA Graveyard :: Mozmill Tests, defect, P2)

Description

[Andrei Eftimie]

Linux 12.10 (x86) Aurora it: 
http://mozmill-ci.blargon7.com/#/remote/report/90a0b225333a4e0c868fcb2b44e54bb6

High probability that it was a AMO connection issue.
(We've seen other AMO related failures in a short window of time)

Please don't forget to add the flags as usual.

Comment 2

[Andrei Eftimie]

Another failure in testSearchAddons.js this time with: "controller.waitForPageLoad(): Timeout waiting for page loaded."

This one on Windows XP Nightly fr:
http://mozmill-ci.blargon7.com/#/remote/report/90a0b225333a4e0c868fcb2b44f88baf

Flagging it here since this also looks like an AMO connection issue, and found no other occurences.

Comment 4

[Andrei Eftimie]

Referencing bug 874458 as probable cause.

Comment 5

[Andrei Eftimie]

Again massive failures on testSearchAddons.js all branches yesterday.

Should we skip them until bug 874458 gets fixed?

Comment 6

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

No, they fixed it temporarily again, but hopefully more permanent. Those failures should not appear anymore now.

Comment 7

[Andrei Eftimie]

Closing this one.

bug 874458 has been fixed (hopefully more permanent now).
And we haven't had any remote failures in almost 2 weeks.

Comment 9

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

This bug has been closed too early. It's still happening.

This seems to happen more often now as we have another two failures today on Ubuntu 13.04 with ESR17 en-US:

[Andreea Matei [:AndreeaMatei]]

Has failed a lot last night with different locales, on esr17. All on Linux 13.04, both 32 and 64bit:

http://mozmill-release.blargon7.com/#/remote/reports?branch=17.0&platform=All&from=2013-09-12&to=2013-09-13 (just sort to have Failures up)

I'll investigate this, hopefully we can reproduce locally and get a fix already.

Comment 17

[Andreea Matei [:AndreeaMatei]]

Has not failed again since that day on September 12 (link above). I didn't reproduced it. Leaving open to be able to check immediately when fails again on the remote machine.

Comment 18

[mario garbi]

Happened again today on Linux Ubuntu 12.04 (x86) with Firefox 26.0a2 'de':

Comment 19

[Andreea Matei [:AndreeaMatei]]

Mario, this is another test, not testSearchAddons. If it doesn't have a bug filed, please open one.

Comment 20

[Andreea Matei [:AndreeaMatei]]

Have not failed in the last 6 weeks, might have been just a network issue as we have sometimes on AMO. Closing for now, please reopen if necessary.

Comment 21

[u279076]

Is wontfix appropriate here for the status flags? I would think just clearing the flags is more appropriate. Wontfix implies there is a bug which won't be fixed.

Comment 22

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

That's correct. Thank you Anthony.
