Hi,
I would agree with the folks in #introduction that it's OK if it passes
on try, and that you can generally run the tests relevant to your work
if you're doing things locally. When in doubt about test coverage, you
should always be able to ask the person mentoring you and/or the bug in
question.
If you feel like it, you could try to figure out why the error in
question happens in the automated test run on your machine - it might be
a real problem, but with the information we have so far it's hard to be
sure what the issue is. If you want to dive into this further, it'd
probably be useful to file a bug (product: Firefox, component: Toolbars
& Customization) and provide more details, such as if you're "just"
building Firefox desktop, or Fx OS simulator, or something else, whether
this is an opt or debug build, if you can reproduce the issue when
running just one or two tests, what the stack for the error is, and
anything else you think is relevant. If you decide to do this, please
feel free to CC/needinfo me and we can take it from there.
Hope that helps,
Gijs

Hi Gijs,
I'm still seeing this even when I don't use the sudo.
I also asked about this on the #introduction a few days ago and it was
mentioned that if this was a real issue, it would be something seen
also on the try servers. The advice they gave me was to just try
running the specific tests needed to test my work vs. the whole
suite. This is a bit concerning to me as a newbie as I want to make
sure I've got all the proper tests chosen.
Thanks,

Some questions:
What platform is this on?
This is on Mac OSX Mavericks
How are you invoking the test suite?
I'm doing a sudo ./mach mochitest-browser from the command line.
Don't use sudo. :-)
Which test is running when this error happens?
The test that executes right before is this one:
6:17.02 TEST-PASS |
chrome://mochitests/content/browser/browser/components/customizableui/test/browser_932928_show_notice_when_palette_empty.js
| The empty palette notice should not be shown when there are items
in the palette.
After that executes, it gets stuck in this loop just repetitively
printing out that error with the type error below.
Are you using mozilla-central, fx-team, mozilla-inbound, ...?
I'm using mozilla-central.
Can you paste a copy of your .mozconfig configuration?
It's empty
Please let us know (on the newsgroup/mailing list as well - I've
looped them back in) if you're still seeing this if not using sudo.
