Summary: test_utils_queryAsync sometimes fails → Intermittent test_utils_queryAsync.js | test failed (with xpcshell return code: 0) | false == true
For reasons unknown, removing the condition here http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/1a89509e25e4/testing/xpcshell/runxpcshelltests.py#l168, i.e. always turning on tracemalloc backtraces, seems to increase the frequency of the intermittent failure here. It's still intermittent, just more frequent.

It's still intermittent, just more frequent. I've also been noticing that test_queryAsync fails much more frequently on my MacBook Pro in the past month (on services-central, which is behind m-c right now). I spent a morning on it, but was unable to narrow it down to anything fixable in the test.
Attached patch Proposed patch. v1 (deleted) — Splinter Review
queryAsync's mozIStorageStatementCallback handlers didn't expect to be called both on error and on completion. That led to the callback being called twice -- once to throw the error, and then again with an empty result set. Catching this just right meant that an error would be silently swallowed, resulting in this storm of random orange. The fix is to check the reason code, and return appropriately. I also constantified some things, switched to a query that's guaranteed to fail regardless of the content of the DB, and turned on logging for this test.

Comment on attachment 526893 [details] [diff] [review] Proposed patch. v1 Because this also touches non-test code and does not impact users, we should live with this for 5.

(In reply to comment #66) > Because this also touches non-test code and does not impact users I should clarify: the problem wasn't actually the test, it's a bug in the code (racing callbacks). That's why it touches non-test code. Users could be impacted by this (the race could occur in production code just as much as in tests.)
