The latest nightly mozilla-central B2G desktop are failing to launch. When running the Gaia UI tests it appears that they pass, however the application is never present on the screen, as if it's running headless.

When running from the command line I get the following in the console:

$ ./B2G.app/Contents/MacOS/b2g-bin --profile=~/Desktop/B2G.app/Contents/MacOS/gaia/profile/

The only change I can see in the mentioned pushlog related to the failure message is bug 910184. :jryans any idea if your change could have caused this?
Flags: needinfo?(jryans)
Yes, this was caused by bug 910184.  I apologize for the trouble.  Nothing appeared out of order with the try push for it.

In any case, there is a fix waiting to be landed on bug 911127.  I'll dupe this to that one.

Hmm, actually, I think there may be two unrelated issues here.

My patch in bug 910184 did cause the "Error loading: resource://gre/modules/devtools/server/transport.js: ReferenceError: `Components` is not available in this context." error, and that is what is fixed in bug 911127.

However, I was always able to get the B2G desktop UI to appear while diagnosing these issues.  Perhaps a different change caused it to go headless?

I tested the tinderbox regression range you gave above in comment #2, and it doesn't seem correct, at least on my system.  The last good that you listen in there is still bad for me, as far as the headless issue is concerned.

I found a slightly earlier regression range for the headless issue:

Last good:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/b2g/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-central-macosx64_gecko/1377774122/
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/8451e35a8a50

First bad:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/b2g/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-central-macosx64_gecko/1377783930/
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/91672bee9a77

Pushlog:
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=8451e35a8a50&tochange=91672bee9a77
You're right, I was too focused on the error I saw and didn't notice that the headless issue actually preceded it. Thanks for the updated regression range.
