WebDriver/Meetings/2018-12-03

The meeting on 3 December 2018 is cancelled due to the All Hands in Orlando, but please leave your status updates and any prospective travel/PTO below.

Intermittent failures

• [fixed] Intermittent testing/marionette/harness/marionette_harness/tests/unit/test_window_close_content.py TestCloseWindow.test_close_window_with_dismissed_beforeunload_prompt (Bug 1503027)
  • Has been caused by loading `about:newtab` in a newly opened tabs which caused an additional remoteness change (process move of the framescript)
  • From now on opening a new tab will load `about:blank` instead
• [fixed] Firefox-UI / Puppeteer tests fail with "TypeError: win.outerWindowID is null; can't access its "toString" property"
  • Fixed on bug 1351940 by just making sure that outerWindowID is actually not null
• Marionette jobs cause timeouts of 1000s due to hangs as result of inappropriate Firefox updates
  • [fixed] CI debug builds are getting updated to recent Firefox Nightly builds (Bug 1508836)
  • [needs fix] When running Marionette tests Firefox downloads and installs updates even when turned off via prefs (Bug 1508726)
• [beta sim - needs fix] Intermittent Linux Mn testing/marionette/harness/marionette_harness/tests/unit/test_screenshot.py TestScreenCaptureChrome.test_formats (Bug 1504201)
  • Caused by returning too early from `SwitchToWindow` command, and the target window sometimes not focused yet
• A couple new test failures and side-effects related to window manipulation fix (bug 1506894, bug 1507067, Bug 1506898, Bug 1478358, Bug 1506245, Bug 1506095, Bug 1489955)
  • Hang in `SetWindowRect` isn't fully fixed yet (Bug 1489955)
  • We want to have more trace output for events, especially when leaving special window states like fullscreen, maximized, minimized
