What’s wrong with this picture?

Yesterday, while doing some updates to the machines in the test farm, I noticed something a little funny on qm-winxp01:
The pagefile allocation had ballooned to 1.27GB, while the physical memory on the machine only had 574MB out of 2GB left to it. That was some serious fragmentation. I took a snapshot of the process list [...]


Buildbot Testfarm going down for updates

Sorry for the short notice. I’m taking the ‘bots offline for a few minutes to make a change to the reftest summary reported on Tinderbox — now it will show number of tests passing / tests failed / tests known to fail, similar to mochitests’ numbers. Tests known to fail have been removed from the [...]


qm-winxp01 dep unit test going down for RAM upgrade today

The unit test box (with the name you can tap your foot to) is going offline for a RAM and processor upgrade today. We’re hoping to decrease build times on it for even more rapid test cycling.


The System Works

This afternoon we closed the tree while sorting out a mochitest failure. It was hard to tell if the crash was real initially, as there had been some tweaking of the tinderbox output from the testbots, and some changes to the harness itself. After some investigation it was deemed to be a real bug and [...]


I’m sure they were here a minute ago…

The testfarm buildbots have been moved to the main Firefox tree on Tinderbox and given spiffy new names. They are now known as “Linux qm-rhel02 dep unit test”, “MacOSX Darwin 8.8.4 qm-xserve01 dep unit test” and “WINNT 5.1 qm-winxp01 dep unit test”. Sure rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?
We haven’t really nailed-down what it means [...]


buildbot testfarm: 1 week later

One week later and the OS X test box turns green just in time for the long weekend. It didn’t happen by magic. Rob Sayre graciously donated some of his busy schedule to help track down an error in the configuration files. If I weren’t so happy it was fixed, I’d be feeling a little [...]


it’s the little things

That little page was my first view of the new testing buildbots living in the Mozilla colocation facility. It may not look like much yet, but it’s overflowing with potential. What does it do, you wonder? It runs test-enabled builds, then runs make check, reftest and mochitest. From the three columns, you might infer that [...]
