Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Mark Straver]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20140305 Firefox/24.0 PaleMoon/24.4.0 (Nightly/Aurora)
Build ID: 20140305142843

Steps to reproduce:

Trying to make a "simple seamonkey build" on Windows:
1. install prerequisites
2. pull hg comm-release branch
3. run client.py checkout
4. run python -OO mozilla/build/pymake/make.py -f client.mk to start building

Build setup: VS2012, Windows 7x64, DirectX SDk installed, using start-msvc11.bat, basic .mozconfig with -j4 and project=suite, etc.
Source pulled from http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/comm-release/


Actual results:

Error during the configure phase:

The error occurred while processing the following file:

The error appears to be part of the mozbuild.frontend.reader Python module itself! It is possible yo
u have stumbled across a legitimate bug.

What are the contents of this file?

> AttributeError: 'set' object has no attribute 'replace'
What version of Python are you using? You should have at least 2.7.3 (and less than 3.0)

Nothing else in there, it seems to trip over the first line?

>What version of Python are you using?

I'm using the latest Mozilla build tools (grabbed it just yesterday):

$ python -V
Python 2.7.5

Comment 3

[Justin Wood (:Callek)]

is this a clobber build, did you do a client.py update (to update the ldap repo), did you change any parts of your environment since the first time you tried and now?

I can't say that I've seen this error before.

Comment 4

[Mark Straver]

This is a completely new checkout I did of comm-release. Last one I built was 2.21 and I thought it was better to make a fresh clone, so there shouldn't be any leftovers from previous builds, at all.

Trying to pull changes with client.py now gives me an error, as well, telling me it crosses branches...?

I'll try re-cloning the entire tree again.

Comment 5

[Mark Straver]

OK, not entirely sure what happened, but doing the *exact* same things I did a few days ago (only this time it pulled in 2.25) worked. Perhaps I cloned the repo as it was being updated (2.24->2.25) or something, causing something to go terribly wrong? If so, perhaps locking the repo during a big merge might be a good idea.

I usually blame the gremlins. Closing as WORKSFORME. Cheers.
