Status reports

Dev team

Rel Eng

• Deployed ant, and ant-apache-regexp to try machines
  • Unsuccessful, need ant 1.8+, todo: create new RPMs and deploy afresh.

IT

A Team

• tegra failure rate: [2.08%]
  • last week 1.5
• panda failure rate: [15.03%]
  • last week 14.19
  • excluding retries 1.06%

Slow Reftests

• tried tweaking settings in test harness:
  • disabled image comparison (always true)
  • allowed arbitrarily many recycled canvases
  • made canvases 1px x 1px
  • none of this had any effect

• ran android profile (am profile) for mochitests and reftests
  • reftest profile shows substantial time in:
    • ViewRoot.handleMessage, ViewRoot.measureTraversals (27.3%)
    • View.measure, View.layout
    • ViewGroup.measureChildWithMargins
    • FrameLayout.onMeasure
    • RelativeLayout.onMeasure, RelativeLayout.measureChildHorizontal, RelativeLayout.measureChild
    • FrameLayout.onLayout
    • and a bunch of other layout stuff
  • The first layout related function for mochitests is at 17th place
    • ViewRoot.handleMessage, ViewRoot.measureTraversals (2.6%)
  • raw traces: mochitest-trace.txt reftest-trace.txt

• have a debug with profiling emulator build I will be trying out this afternoon
  • hopefully correlate to android profiling
  • slow floating point?

Android 2.3 emulator

• See "Android 2.3 Opt" at https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Ash&jobname=Android.*&rev=0ce5e6c6778f
  • A few intermittent mochitest/crashtest failures still
  • Many robocop tests skipped

Android x86 emulator

Autophone

• Landed bug 968905, phones keeping up with builds with new partitioning.
• Fixed bug 972346 mozbase - devicemanagerSUT - During _waitForRebootPing, do not accept multiple times which caused the outage on 2014-02-12.
• On 2014-02-14, directed all output from the local phonedash web server to /dev/null and changed the logging level to WARNING which will reduce extraneous output on the host server.
• On 2014-02-15, started using a phonedash server hosted on a separate machine for serving the remote files to remove any possible interference.
• Working on bug 968920 Autophone - use standard error percentage as a discriminator.

Eideticker

• New dashboard structure: faster to load (metadata for each testrun now stored seperately)
• Moving away from idea of using datazilla as a backend (lots of effort for little gain), sticking with static json
  • Will still hopefully be able to piggyback on internals datazilla's notification system, somehow. Will talk to relevant people later this week.
• Considering hosting dashboard entirely on Amazon S3
• Will fix bug 971477 (startup-abouthome-dirty does not create a full profile), bug 967109 (Replace clock test on android with canvas box) hopefully this week.
