Roundtable

xpcshell Tests & Leak Logs (Standard8)

• Thanks to Serge Gautherie for finishing and landing bug 384339, this means that check-interactive works correctly even with tail_*.js scripts in xpcshell tests.
• Now have landed mailnews shutdown scripts for everything bar mailnews/db/gloda.
  • Therefore reported leaks for xpcshell-tests are either real leaks or issues in the testcases.
  • bug 498147 is the tracking bug for leaks in MailNews - bugs already filed for existing leaks.
  • Some leak bugs cover multiple tests as they are most likely caused by one issue.
• mailnews/db/gloda will hopefully land soon.
• Standard8 happy to try and help resolve leaks in new tests.

• Did the big NEW->UNCONFIRMED bug change for old untouched SeaMonkey bugs and ran into some problems with Bugzilla, but finally succeeded (not without some embarrassment)
