Bug 722940 – dev-lang/spidermonkey-68.8.0: fails test: non262/Intl/DateTimeFormat/timeZone_backward_links

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2020-05-14 08:30:09 UTC]

This is an auto-filled bug because dev-lang/spidermonkey fails tests.
The issue was originally discovered on amd64, but it may be reproducible on other arches as well.
If you think that a different summary clarifies the issue better, feel free to change it.
Attached build log and emerge --info.

NOTE:
If you need further logs, feel free to ask..

Just another flaky test depending on ICU/used timezone data: non262/Intl/DateTimeFormat/timeZone_backward_links.js

[Comment 3 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) 2020-07-01 19:31:31 UTC]

Test is failing with

> /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/spidermonkey-68.10.0/work/firefox-68.10.0/js/src/tests/non262/Intl/DateTimeFormat/timeZone_backward_links.js:129:9 Error: Assertion failed: got "America/Godthab", expected "America/Nuuk": America/Godthab -> America/Nuuk

I disabled that test in 68.10.0 for now. According to my understand, it's somehow expecting and testing for a backward compatible link, because that TZ was renamed in 2020a,  which we don't have (instead we have a full copy).

[Comment 4 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) 2020-07-01 19:41:09 UTC]

I.e. =sys-libs/timezone-data-2020a installs dereferenced files and no symlinks, see

> 33978310d818f3e3cdada3d22c56ddb96ea83610  /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Godthab

Therefore the whole upstream test becomes pointless for us.
