Minutes

Work week evaluation

ato
I thought the work week went really well.
Particularly useful to do the geckodriver 1.0 triage.
I also thought it useful to discuss CDP and our plan for TPAC.
whimboo
It was useful to sit together and talk out issues, and especially that jgraham was also there.
We only got three days of active work, so next time a full week would be better.
ato
We should make a list of bugs we would like to draw attention to during TPAC.
I believe whimboo has a few issues and I have a few.
whimboo
What happens during the meeting? Do we triage the open issue list?
AutomatedTester
Yes, if there is time.
ato
Despite the fact that it was only three days of active work, I think it was still worthwhile.
I think we should repeat this.
AutomatedTester
Sure. Maybe next year early in February.

Web interoperability roadmap

AutomatedTester
I sent out a document about how I think we should do web predictability last week.
I thought it was good to give other groups an idea what the difference between web interop and web compat is.
I now need to create a roadmap and I will ask you all for feedback.
This is part of ensuring we coordinate our work with other teams at Mozilla.
Hopefully raising our profile.
ato
Would this roadmap cover the next quarter, or be in the format of a longer-term vision or plan?
AutomatedTester
We need it to be short, medium, and long-term.
Showing what work would be involved, and how we can hit our goals.
For example, interoperability reports and getting Firefox engineers to use them.
If we take on the CDP transport stuff, possibly creating a MVP for getting Puppeteer working.
Also this about resource allocation.
ato
This is a digression, but how do we get RelMan and engineers to understand what the important web interop issues are?
AutomatedTester
I don’t have a clear answer for this, but first getting the reports and then having a discussion about that would make sense.

geckodriver 0.23.0

ato
There are still two outstanding issues.
whimboo
We should delay those to 0.24.0, because the regression fixes are more important.
ato
Great, I agree.

Intermittents update

whimboo
kmag landed a fix for an assertion/crash which caused lots of intermittent failures but this didn't actually helped us
[(Perma ccov) Assertion failure: m_refCount == 1 or pages_.empty() (Bug 1485985)]
I don't expect much to change this week. Still waiting for Kris to have a look at this bug
[[needs investigation by jim] Firefox startup hang for ASAN builds on Linux64 (Bug 1487243)]
This is caused by getting a dbus connection during startup; The hanging code is about to get moved away from startup and put closer to the dbus requiring code.
We might even see that fixed today!
