900863 - Error: python: no user 501 on OSX 10.6

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla QA Graveyard :: Infrastructure, defect)

Description

[Andrei Eftimie]

Every testrunf failed on two of our OSX 10.6 machines (specifically mm-osx-106-2 and mm-osx-106-3)

> python: no user 501
> Build step 'Invoke XShell command' marked build as failure
> Recording test results
> Email was triggered for: Failure
> Sending email for trigger: Failure
> Sending email to: [e-mail]
> Finished: FAILURE

mm-osx-106-1 doesn't seem affected

From a bit of searching this looks like our automation used the wrong python version (eg the one bundled with the system instead of the one from virtualenv). I'm not sure of this, will look into it.

I'll take these 2 machines offline until we figure this out.

Restarting the Jenkins slave instance on these machines appears to have fixed this. Please reopen if it reoccurs.
