runxpcshelltests.py should be able to find the files and copy them into the appropriate locations before running tests. Or better yet, the tests shouldn't require to have xpcshell, components and plugins copied into firefox' directory.

I'm not wild about doing this, especially since in the current case (running from the objdir), it's not necessary at all. > Or better yet, the tests shouldn't require to have xpcshell, components and > plugins copied into firefox' directory. This is bug 483202.

If you use runxpcshelltests.py --xre-dir=... then you should no longer need to copy files around, since bug 483202 landed.

This should just be a buildbot config change now (remove the copying steps).

I'll see about doing this.

This doesn't fix the root problem but there's a higher chance of us having recent builds later in the week than there is on a Monday morning.

Comment on attachment 412685 [details] [diff] [review] do nightly builds on tuesday rather than monday sorry, wrong bug.

I got this working on Linux with: python -u xpcshell/runxpcshelltests.py --symbols-path=symbols --manifest=xpcshell/tests/all-test-dirs.list --xre-path=firefox bin/xpcshell I tried a similar thing with Mac: python -u xpcshell/runxpcshelltests.py --symbols-path=symbols --manifest=xpcshell/tests/all-test-dirs.list --xre-path=./Minefield.app/Contents/MacOS bin/xpcshell in dir /builds/slave/mozilla-central-macosx-unittest-everythingelse/build (timeout 1200 secs) but I got errors: TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | /builds/slave/mozilla-central-macosx-unittest-everythingelse/build/xpcshell/tests/test_intl_locale/unit/test_bug371611.js | test failed (with xpcshell return code: -5), see following log: >>>>>>> dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/libxpcom.dylib Referenced from: /builds/slave/mozilla-central-macosx-unittest-everythingelse/build/bin/xpcshell Reason: image not found <<<<<<< I've tried a few different values for --xre-path including: Minefield.app/Contents/MacOS, bin, Minefield.app, and even running with Minefield.app/Contents/MacOS as the cwd, but I still got the same errors. win32 still running

Actually, upon further investigation, Linux hasn't quite passed.

Ok, thanks for trying. I'll do some testing when I get time and make sure things work before sending it back to you.

In the mozharness world, this is where this happens: http://hg.mozilla.org/build/mozharness/annotate/8d677593e1f6/scripts/desktop_unittest.py#l295 I think somewhere along the way we fixed xpcshell so this would work for real, but I'd have to test things to make sure.
