Bug 69969 – REGRESSION (r97252-r97264): 7 http/tests/media tests failing on SnowLeopard Intel Release (Tests) with "posix_spawn fatal error: 9!"

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Simon Fraser (smfr)]

The following tests started failing on SnowLeopard Intel Release (Tests) between r97253 and r97264 (inclusive):

    http/tests/media/reload-after-dialog.html
    http/tests/media/video-served-as-text.html
    http/tests/media/pdf-served-as-pdf.html
    http/tests/media/video-error-abort.html
    http/tests/media/video-cancel-load.html
    http/tests/media/text-served-as-text.html
    http/tests/media/remove-while-loading.html

http://trac.webkit.org/log/trunk?rev=97264&stop_rev=97253&limit=13

http://build.webkit.org/results/SnowLeopard%20Intel%20Release%20(Tests)/r97252%20(33843)/results.html passed
http://build.webkit.org/results/SnowLeopard%20Intel%20Release%20(Tests)/r97264%20(33844)/results.html failed

These are all failing with "posix_spawn fatal error: 9!"

I feel like I have seen these posix_spawn errors long ago.  Maybe they started failing more consistently recently.

Note I added a test expectation in http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/97344.

Maybe we can add more expectations for other tests as well.

I don't think this regression range is right. They're all changes in Chromium, Qt, GTK, WebKit2, and rebaslines.

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

The expectations are no longer in the tree, and tests pass.

FWIW, these tests are ones that require QTKit and don't work with AVFoundation. This must have been a problem on the bots that they couldn't start qtkitserver.
