Help finishing *all* Fedora oranges

As you might know we are trying to run unit tests on our Fedora machines but we are still trying to bring down the number of permanent oranges.

We are down to 2 permanent suite oranges (6 open bugs) but I need more traction from developers to get these nailed down.

As Ben pointed out, we can provide access to our machines. For this purpose I have set aside two Fedora 32bit machines waiting for the developers involved with the oranges to work with them. I have emailed individually to the developers but if you think you can give them a hand please email me.

* mochitest-browser-chrome:
  * bug 560878 (browser_bug435788.js)
  * bug 562663 - chrome://mochikit/content/browser/browser/components/places/tests/browser/browser_library_panel_leak.js
* reftests - tracking bug 560882  
  * Bug 558910 - antialiasing
  * Bug 558977 - reftests/svg/objectBoundingBox-and-fePointLight-01.svg
  * Bug 559125 - reftests/bugs/180085-1.html and reftests/bugs/359903-1.html
  * Bug 559426 - layout/reftests/box-shadow/boxshadow-inner-basic.html and
reftests/bugs/456219-1c.html

The tracking bug is bug 554934.

One more Fedora unit test suite visible (mochitest 4/5)

Since we enabled the Fedora unit tests I have been working towards making all permanent-oranges for Fedora 32 and 64 bit builds to be green and today we have made one more test suite visible.

One of the unit tests that was failing was mochitest 4. This was because there is a pango bug that affects Thai scripts (I think). After some fiddling around Zack came with a patch that allowed us to go green and therefore be able to enable this test suite (thanks dbaron) for developers to catch other problems.

With this unit test going green we are down to 3 out of 10 permanent test suites that are still hidden.
My next bug to tackle is the libm.so bug and I will keep on continuing to collaborate with developers to fix some of these remaining perma-oranges.

Big thanks to Zack for the quick turn-around and to Ehsan in general for helping me to get traction in most of the filed oranges.

For following the oranges you can follow bug 558911

Unit tests for Fedora - UTonT project

You can now see Fedora (32 and 64 bits) unit tests being run Firefox on mozilla-central.
This means that we are now testing Firefox in a common user distribution rather than CentOS.
This also means that we have new oranges (yay!) that most of us had not seen before.
Check out the filed oranges on the fedora-oranges bug. 

The permanent oranges have been hidden from tinderbox and tinderbox-pushlog:
http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=Firefox

To see the permanent oranges you will have to use this view instead:
http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=Firefox&noignore=1

This is one more step of the UTonT project that we have been working on since last quarter.

Happy new OS testing!

Linux 64 packaged tests now available

Since last Friday we started producing packaged tests for Linux 64.
This is one step close to be running unit tests for this platform (which we currently can but we are going to run in on talos machines rather than build machines - on the bake!) and support it the same way as our other three official desktop platforms.

Previously we had enabled the debug builds and codesighs.

You can now download the builds with the tests and run them if you please.

• firefox-3.7a4pre.en-US.linux-x86_64.tests.tar.bz2 
• firefox-3.6.3pre.en-US.linux-x86_64.tests.tar.bz2
• firefox-3.5.10pre.en-US.linux-x86_64.tests.tar.bz2 

For more information about it please read bug 551758.

Linux 64 debug builds available!

Starting from last Friday every time a developer check-ins a debug build (leak test build) for Linux 64 will be triggered as well.

This is part of the continuous work to make Linux 64 an official supported platform.


Check out my previous blog post or bug 512489 where we enabled these builds for more details.

NOTE: Firefox-lorentz and E10n are currently hidden from the waterfall. They will soon be enabled as well
