997991 - "make mochitest-robocop" and "make mochitest-remote" fail to start httpd.js

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Testing :: Mochitest, defect)

Description

[Geoff Brown [:gbrown]]

Local runs of robocop and android mochitests are failing, apparently because httpd.js is not starting up.

This appears to be a regression from bug 912243. If I backout that patch, I can run robocop and mochitests without any problems.

Ashish was having a similar problem today, where it appeared that xpcshell would not start because required libraries could not be found.

I have confirmation on irc from gbrown that removing --httpd-path from the cli in the makefile target (http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/testsuite-targets.mk#61) works.

gbrown, any concerns with doing that?

Comment 2

[Geoff Brown [:gbrown]]

Note the path to httpd.js, '/home/gbrown/objdirs/droid/httpd.js'. This arises because the makefile target specifies "--httpd-path=.", http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/testsuite-targets.mk#61 and http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/testsuite-targets.mk#72.

Removing --httpd-path from the makefile targets allows the tests to run for me, but the httpd path is different from what it was before:

MochitestServer : launching [u'/home/gbrown/objdirs/firefox/dist/bin/xpcshell', '-g', '/home/gbrown/objdirs/firefox/dist/bin', '-v', '170', '-f', '/home/gbrown/objdirs/firefox/dist/bin/components/httpd.js', '-e', "const _PROFILE_PATH = '/tmp/tmpvkXLrA'; const _SERVER_PORT = '8888'; const _SERVER_ADDR = '192.168.0.82'; const _TEST_PREFIX = undefined; const _DISPLAY_RESULTS = false;", '-f', '/home/gbrown/objdirs/droid/_tests/testing/mochitest/server.js']

vs. (with backout of 912242):

MochitestServer : launching [u'/home/gbrown/objdirs/firefox/dist/bin/xpcshell', '-g', '/home/gbrown/objdirs/firefox/dist/bin', '-v', '170', '-f', '/home/gbrown/objdirs/droid/_tests/testing/mochitest/httpd.js', '-e', "const _PROFILE_PATH = '/tmp/tmpq8c8et'; const _SERVER_PORT = '8888'; const _SERVER_ADDR = '192.168.0.82'; const _TEST_PREFIX = undefined; const _DISPLAY_RESULTS = false;", '-f', './server.js']

[Geoff Brown [:gbrown]]

I am only slightly troubled by the difference in Comment 2...but it works, so, no objection.

Ashish, have you tried removing --httpd-path as indicated in comment 1?
