After Bug 1633039 landed, I can no longer run ./mach mochitest on my linux machine. It fails with the error:

IOError: No such file or directory: {path-to-obj}/_virtualenvs/init/bin/activate_this.py'
Regressed by: 1633039

mochitest very likely needs a patch similar to this one

Component: General → Mochitest
Product: Firefox Build System → Testing

Set release status flags based on info from the regressing bug 1633039

Hooking this up to ./mach busted via bug 1543241.

Also, workaround as long as ./mach python starts up python2: Run ./mach python. That creates the py2 virtualenv you need.

As Thanos said, "Fine. I'll do it myself."

:P

Same problem on OS X for me.

Edit: Running ./mach python seems to work around the problem for me.

That might be bug 1637305?

Nah, that's a different thing. Line 229 of testing/web-platform/tests/tools/manifest/vcs.py is clearly wrong (again, that should be a Text string rather than a bytestring for the ".gitignore" literal).
