Details

This is happening across all trees, including on pushes that had previously-green runs. AMI change or something maybe? https://treeherder.mozilla.org/logviewer.html#?job_id=1224907&repo=mozilla-central 1835 INFO TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | dom/media/tests/mochitest/identity/test_peerConnection_peerIdentity.html | Error in test execution: InternalError: Starting video failed - expected PASS etc All trees closed.
As mentioned in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1143018#c11, we normalized the basedir for slaves yesterday, both in the slavealloc db and in runslave.py. Assuming AMI generation happened properly last night, that change would have hit AWS today.

We might be relying on a relative path though in the tests.
Bug 1143018 is implicated in that it moved where the various buildbot state files (twistd.pid, logs) are created from /builds/slave/talos-slave to /builds/slave. Morgan is looking into whether runner is failing because of this.
In the absence of an obvious cause, we're rolling back the AMIs to yesterday's versions while we continue to investigate. Existing instances should self-terminate and restart shortly.
Rolling back the AMI seems to have worked. Trees reopened.
