I've been running the core xpcshell tests on Sunbird. The following failures appear to be due to the fact that Sunbird doesn't include cookie handling (note: you may have to build with the data protocol to see some of these). test_cookie_header.js This test seems to hang - possibly not checking an error in the backend somewhere, therefore never getting a response from a listener. test_cookie.js ../../../_tests/xpcshell-simple/test_cookies/unit/test_cookies.js:9: strict warning: reference to undefined property Cc['@mozilla.org/cookieService;1'] TypeError: Cc['@mozilla.org/cookieService;1'] is undefined *** FAIL *** TestCookies.cpp Fails straight away - prob due to no cookies service. I don't know what Sunbird wishes to do wrt these tests - I'm just trying to find what is blocking us in getting these enabled on tinderboxes.

We don't use the cookie extension at the moment, because it has no value for us. See http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/calendar/confvars.sh

You just won't be able to run the xpcshell tests automated until you either do use it or you convince the core devs that you should be allowed to modify the tests to detect that you're not using it.

I think running that test should depend on the setting of NECKO_COOKIES. What does the cookie module owner thing of that?

Is the set of tests not derived from the build config? Actually extensions/cookie does get built even if you've got NECKO_COOKIES not set; extensions/cookie is actually dependent on if you've got MOZ_PERMISSIONS set or not (on by default, no calendar override): http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=/mozilla/toolkit/toolkit-tiers.mk&rev=1.15&mark=104-109#104

This bug is probably INVALID by now, but in any case its Sunbird Only

Resolving as WONTFIX because Sunbird has been discontinued and the code has been removed from the project.
