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 allContinue readingFirefox Automation report – week 19/20 2014

Firefox Automation report – week 13/14 2014

In this post you can find an overview about the work happened in the Firefox Automation team during week 13 and 14. Highlights Finally we were able to upgrade our mozmill-ci production system to Mozmill 2.0.6. The only caveat is that we had to disable one test for cleaning history to prevent the always occurring Flash crash on Windows. This week Henrik was able to land the first fixes for broken TPS tests. Together with Andrei we were able to fix 4 of them. Also we had our first AutomationContinue readingFirefox Automation report – week 13/14 2014

For details please see bug 966434. Fixing the backward compatibility for the old Sync authentication is his next step.

Firefox Automation report – week 9/10 2014

In this post you can find an overview about the work happened in the Firefox Automation team during week 9 and 10. I for myself was a week on vacation. A bit of relaxing before the work on the TPS test framework should get started. Highlights In preparation to run Mozmill tests for Firefox Metro in our Mozmill-CI system, Andreea has started to get support for Metro builds and appropriate tests included. With the help from Henrik we got Mozmill 2.0.6 released. It contains a helpful fix for waitForPageLoad(), whichContinue readingFirefox Automation report – week 9/10 2014

Firefox Automation report – week 7/8 2014

The current work load is still affecting my time for getting out our automation status reports. The current updates are a bit old but still worth to mention. So lets get them out. Highlights As mentioned in my last report, we had issues with Mozmill on Windows while running our restart tests. So during a restart of Firefox, Mozmill wasn’t waiting long enough to detect that the old process is gone, so a new instance has been started immediately. Sadly that process failed with the profile already in use error.Continue readingFirefox Automation report – week 7/8 2014

Firefox Automation report – week 5/6 2014

A lot of things were happening in weeks 5 and 6, and we made some good progress regards the stability of Mozmill. Highlights The unexpected and intermittent Jenkins crashes our Mozmill CI system was affected with are totally gone now. Most likely the delayed creation of jobs made that possible, which also gave Jenkins a bit more breath and not bomb it with hundreds of API calls. For the upcoming release of Mozmill 2.0.4 a version bump for package dependencies was necessary for mozdownload. So we released mozdownload 1.11. SadlyContinue readingFirefox Automation report – week 5/6 2014

Firefox Automation report – week 3/4 2014

Due to the high work load and a week of vacation I was not able to give some updates for work done by the Firefox Automation team.

Highlights After the staging system for Mozmill CI has been setup by IT and Henrik got all the VMs connected, also the remaining Mac Minis for OS X 10.6 to 10.9 have been delivered. That means our staging system is complete andContinue readingFirefox Automation report – week 3/4 2014

Firefox Automation report – week 1/2 2014

I promised to keep up with our updates over the last week but given a major breakage in the freshly released version of Mozmill 2.0.4, I had a full week of work to get the fix out. I promise that during this week I will write reports for the weeks in January. Highlights With the new year our team has been reorganized and we are part of the Mozilla QA team again. That means we will have a way closer relationship to any feature owner, and also working towards inContinue readingFirefox Automation report – week 1/2 2014
