Probably just a dupe of some of the other bugs, but I find these failure modes fairly unhelpful to grok (ideally we'd have all socket.timeouts caught and a constant message given, if they re all due to the same emulator issue) b2g_ics_armv7a_gecko_emulator mozilla-inbound opt test reftest-6 on 2013-01-11 00:43:14 PST for push 11879a83e5e7 slave: talos-r3-fed-079 https://tbpl.mozilla.org/php/getParsedLog.php?id=18702752&tree=Mozilla-Inbound { 00:48:40 INFO - REFTEST INFO | runreftest.py | Running tests: start. 00:48:45 INFO - MOZPROCESS WARNING: ProcessHandler.waitForFinish() is deprecated, use ProcessHandler.wait() instead 00:52:04 INFO - Traceback (most recent call last): 00:52:04 INFO - File "runreftestb2g.py", line 564, in main 00:52:04 INFO - retVal = reftest.runTests(manifest, options, cmdlineArgs) 00:52:04 INFO - File "/home/cltbld/talos-slave/test/build/tests/reftest/runreftest.py", line 140, in runTests 00:52:04 INFO - timeout=options.timeout + 30.0) 00:52:04 INFO - File "/home/cltbld/talos-slave/test/build/tests/reftest/automation.py", line 1072, in runApp 00:52:04 INFO - stderr = subprocess.STDOUT) 00:52:04 INFO - File "/home/cltbld/talos-slave/test/build/tests/reftest/b2gautomation.py", line 253, in Process 00:52:04 INFO - session = self.marionette.start_session() 00:52:04 INFO - File "/home/cltbld/talos-slave/test/build/venv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/marionette/marionette.py", line 306, in start_session 00:52:04 INFO - self.session = self._send_message('newSession', 'value') 00:52:04 INFO - File "/home/cltbld/talos-slave/test/build/venv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/marionette/marionette.py", line 212, in _send_message 00:52:04 ERROR - raise TimeoutException(message='socket.timeout', status=ErrorCodes.TIMEOUT, stacktrace=None) 00:52:04 ERROR - TimeoutException: socket.timeout 00:52:04 INFO - Automation Error: Exception caught while running tests }

This has something to do with the way we're updating gecko in these static emulator snapshots. The good news is, as soon as we get tests running against the full-stack emulator builds (which will be soon), this error will go away since we'll no longer be updating gecko.

And another probably 30 per day - I can't be bothered to paste links into a "we're going to redo everything to get new and different bugs instead!" bug.

https://tbpl.mozilla.org/php/getParsedLog.php?id=25100003&tree=Mozilla-Inbound Weren't the full-stack emulator tests going to save us?

It was our hope that this error had something to do with updating gecko in the emulator at the beginning of a run, but apparently that was not the case. :( From the log, it looks like the emulator is hanging on startup. I expect to see this in the logcat, indicating that Gaia has loaded: I/Gecko ( 43): ###################################### forms.js loaded I/Gecko ( 43): ############################### browserElementPanning.js loaded I/Gecko ( 43): ######################## BrowserElementChildPreload.js loaded But in these failing logs, this output never appears, which would seem to indicate that Gaia is never loaded. I'll try to escalate this.
