896475 - Update tests do not output the updater log when performing tests with Mozmill 2.0

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 886811

(Mozilla QA Graveyard :: Mozmill Tests, defect)

Description

[Andrei Eftimie]

While running update tests, mozmill should output the update log in the console.

Mozmill 1.5 works as intented. The output looks similar to this:
> [...]

> *** AUS:UI General:getPref - failed to get preference: app.update.billboard.test_url

This same stream needs to be shown in Mozmill 2.0

**Note: we had an initial thought this might be related to not restarting mozmill between the tests in bug 886811 comment 15 but this appears not to be the case.

I don't think that this has something to do with Mozmill. Can you please show me what you have changed for the update tests to make them work with Mozmill 2? I'm fairly sure there is a failure on that side.

Comment 2

They work with Mozmill 2.0 already.
I have added manual restart instructions in bug 886811 attachement 779199 but that did not make any difference.

I've opened this bug to investigate and fix the issue, I'll happily change the component to Mozmill Tests if/when I'll find that the problems location is there.

This works perfectly for me when I execute:

testrun_update /mozilla/bin/nightly/firefox --repository ../mozmill-tests/nightly/

*** UTM:SVC TimerManager:registerTimer - id: browser-cleanup-thumbnails
TEST-START | test2.js | setupModule
*** AUS:SVC Creating UpdateService
TEST-START | test2.js | testDirectUpdate_Download
*** AUS:SVC gCanCheckForUpdates - able to check for updates
*** AUS:SVC gCanApplyUpdates - testing write access /mozilla/bin/nightly/update.test
*** AUS:SVC gCanApplyUpdates - able to apply updates
*** AUS:SVC UpdateService:removeDownloadListener - no downloader!
*** AUS:SVC Checker: checkForUpdates, force: true
*** AUS:SVC getLocale - getting locale from file: resource://gre/update.locale, locale: en-US
[..]

The change I did is similar to your one in the other bug:

+function teardownModule(aModule) {
+  aModule.controller.restartApplication();
+}

So not sure why it doesn't work for you. But it's clearly not an issue with Mozmill but your patch. I will dupe this bug to bug 886811.
