Firefox Automation report – week 19/20 2014

In this post you can find an overview about the work happened in the Firefox Automation team during week 19 and 20.

Highlights

When we noticed that our Mozmill-CI production instance is quickly filling up the /data partition, and having nearly no space left to actually run Jenkins, Henrik did a quick check, and has seen that the problem were the update jobs. Instead of producing log files with about 7MB in size, files with more than 100MB each were present. Inspecting those files revealed that the problem were all the SPDY log entries. As a fix Henrik reduced the amount of logging information, so it is still be helpful but it’s not exploding.

In the past days we also have seen a lot of JSBridge disconnects while running our Mozmill tests. Andrei investigated this problem, and it turned out that the reduced delay for add-on installations were the cause of it. Something is most likely messing up with Mozmill and our SOCKS server. Increasing the delay for that dialog fixed the problem for now.

We are using Bugsahoy for a long time now, but we never actually noticed that the Github implementation was somewhat broken when it comes to filtering for languages. To fix that Henrik added all the necessary language mappings. After updating the Github labels for all of our projects, we were seeing a good spike of new contributors interested to work with us.
