Details

I am unable to run gtests under Windows (using the latest unpatched mozilla-central). When I run "mach gtest" all that happens is that a dialogue appears saying "Couldn't load XPCOM". The build is otherwise successful, as Firefox will launch when called directly. "mach gtest" console output: 0:01.59 C:/mozilla-build/msys/bin/sh.exe -c c:/mozilla-build/python/python.exe c:/mozilla-central2/build/pymake/make.py -C testing/gtest -j2 -s -w gtest 0:02.17 c:\mozilla-central2\obj-i686-pc-mingw32\dist\bin\firefox.exe -unittest My .mozconfig: ac_add_options --disable-optimize ac_add_options --enable-debug ac_add_options --without-intl-api ac_add_options --enable-test ac_add_options --enable-gtest Compilation environment: Windows 8.1 64 bit Visual Studio 2012 Update 4.

You typically see this error when the build is busted. Can you run xpcshell.exe or firefox.exe without error?

firefox.exe and xpcshell.exe launch normally and I can run mochitests and reftests without issue.

Yes, gtest isn't supported on windows. Typically it fails because of metro linking issues.

I should say our gtest hook up. We just need to solve the build problems.
Ah. I was aware that it wouldn't work with Metro, I was just hoping that it would work with Metro disabled (at least I think it is disabled. Metro still requires --enable-metro to build, doesn't it?)
It used to work on non metro but because it doesn't run on integration I'm not surprised it broke =\
With the patch from bug 883339, the error message no longer appears and "mach gtest" actually runs tests.
