I tested out building the simulator from m-c today, and it (almost) works great! The path to b2g is however not correct for Mac.

This fixes it for me. It's possible I just built it wrong... I did the following: 1. Added FXOS_SIMULATOR=1 and GAIADIR to my b2g desktop mozconfig 2. Ran mach configure && mach package

That's not the only thing. We are also shipping the b2g desktop profile. While you are at fixing Mac, could you also blacklist it here: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/b2g/simulator/build_xpi.py#134 It should be something like: add_dir_to_zip(xpi_path, os.path.join(distdir, "b2g"), "b2g", ("gaia", "B2G.app/Contents/MacOS/gaia") Otherwise, I don't know about you, but it seems to crash on Mac, even with this fix. It may be due to the fact that the mac I have do not have any battery and gaia shutdown...

Looks like you are using "os.walk", which visits all subdirectories in the tree. My current XPI did not have the "gaia" directory under b2g, so I think it is fine as-is. Not too sure about the crashes you are seeing... still works fine here!

Try: https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=c09bc2e92ecb

On mac instead of having a gaia profile in $(distdir)/b2g, it looks like you have one in $(distdir)/b2g/B2G.app/Contents/MacOS/. That ends up in the xpi at following path: B2G.app/Contents/MacOS/gaia/profile. At least, that's what I've seen in my last try run from bug 920198.

Okay, well, at least now I am seeing what you are... I now have "b2g-bin", like other platforms, and I am stripping the extra gaia profile. I also see the issue of no window appearing at all. Maybe we should tackle that as a separate issue. It definitely appears to start up from the console output... but there's no UI... :/ Try: https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=8e2c3bda3d2e

Yes, let handle that in another patch, it may also fail on b2g desktop.

Okay, try builds here are looking good. I'll file another bug for the missing window issue.

Comment on attachment 8397187 [details] [diff] [review] Fix Simulator path to b2g on Mac (v2, ochameau: r+) See bug 976773 comment 30. We would like to build 1.4 simulators and need to uplift mostly desktop-specific patches. This patch modify only desktop codepath.
