Bug 175140 – [GTK][WKE] Pass the --memory-limited option on the GTK and WPE buildbots for the JSC tests.

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez]

We are having lately (not sure when this started, but as time goes is getting worse and worse) lots of issues with JSC tests causing OOM problems on the GTK+ and WPE bots. Sometimes even bringing the machines down requiring a hard reboot.

The machines have as much as RAM as the Mac bots. However meanwhile the Mac bots seem to handle this fine, Linux bots don't.

Follow the bugs on the see also list to read more details about this if you are interested.

The best thing we can do now is to workaround this by disabling all the tests marked as memoryLimited on the GTK and WPE bots.

We may revise this on the future when we understand better what causes this.

It would help to have a link to more information right here. It's of course possible to get back to the bug using svn blame, but having the link in the comment will save some time in the future.

The questions people will be asking are "Can I remove this now? What should I test to confirm whether I can?"
