We discusssed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=999506#c14 Andrew Halberstadt [:ahal] 2014-04-23 06:10:56 PDT So changing the ordering to: - /storage/sdcard0 - /storage/sdcard1 - /sdcard - /mnt/sdcard - /data/local should work? Zac C (:zac) 2014-04-23 06:26:47 PDT That would work ahal.

This patch will switch emulators from using /data/local to /sdcard. I'm not sure what affect if any this might have on tests, but here is a try run to find out: https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=5151d5365ee0 If that fails and it is too hard to fix, we can move /sdcard below /data/local and then Zac can manually override the default by passing in 'deviceRoot' to the dmADB constructor.

Comment on attachment 8411955 [details] [diff] [review] add new mozdevice default root paths Review of attachment 8411955 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- lgtm as long as try passes. I don't anticipate this causing any problems.

Actually now that I think of it I should probably land this myself to make sure it goes in before bug 1003255

Oops, too late, mid-air collision! Never mind, the patches went in in the correct order.

Repeating myself over here at Zac's sugestion...

So, personally, I don't think that hardcoding paths is the right thing to do. A couple of corrections from previous comments: 1 - /sdcard is almost always a symlink to the real sdcard volume location. 2 - /mnt/sdcard should always be a mount point and not a symlink. On devices which have sharable sdcards, (i.e. sdcard is in a separate partition), then you should be able to do: adb shell vdc volume list | grep sdcard On devices like the hamachi, this will return something like this: 110 sdcard /mnt/sdcard 4 which tells us that /mnt/sdcard is the mount point. Some devices have sdcard and extsdcard volumes, so you'll probably need to refine the grep to make sure you're getting the right place. /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/sdcard1 is peak/keon specific, not generic. Helix and Leo both use different schemes from that and from each other IIRC. On devices, like the Nexus-4, which have no sharable sdcard, you should probably just use /sdcard. On the nexus4, /sdcard is a symlink to /storage/emulated/legacy and /storage/emulated/legacy is a symlink to /mnt/shell/emulated/0 Oh yeah, /data/local is never a place that device storage would look for files, except if someone sets up a fake volume to allow that to happen (I've done this for testing, but it doesn't happen on normal phones).
