since we are having issues with getting httpd.js running on localhost for windows mobile and fennec, we should remove the tests from the all-test-dirs.list that utilize http traffic until we get this fixed. here is the list that I have: test_update\unit test_rdf\unit test_passwordmgr\unit test_necko\unit test_necko\test test_extensionmanager\unit test_docshell\unit test_dm\unit content\unit It is difficult to setup a remote server because: 1) the tests are hardcoded to http://localhost:4444/<blah> 2) the tests assume the web root is the testdir (where mochitest assumes the webroot is the testharnessdir)

for reference there is already a but on httpd.js not working filed as bug 504932

Where are you suggesting to do this removal? Also note that this manifest is built during the build: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/config/rules.mk#156

The two options I see are post processing that list to remove the httpd tests for winmo or ifdef'ing around adding them to $(XPCSHELL_TESTS)

Right now I am thinking in runxpcshelltests.py under a ignoreTests list. This would be defined: if os.name == 'ce'.

ok, I found 2 other tests which are causing issues: json_test/unit test_intl_locale_multilocale/unit What happens is when I run either of these tests, I cannot get past the end of test_places/unit directory.

uploaded a script to bug 493748 that handles this.

This year we mothballed windows mobile development. See: http://blog.pavlov.net/2010/03/22/stopping-development-for-windows-mobile/ Marking bugs in the windows mobile / windows ce bucket as WONTFIX.
