Tor Browser in development builds sometime opens the wrong startup home page
Originally created by @anonym on #17462 (Redmine)
For an example, see: https://jenkins.tails.boum.org/job/test_Tails_ISO_stable/2162/
In several of the scenarios using Tor Browser, we get this failure:
[... bunch of Dogtail logs ...]
And the Tor Browser loads the startup page # features/step_definitions/common_steps.rb:391
try_for() timeout expired (Timeout::Error)
./features/support/helpers/misc_helpers.rb:89:in `rescue in try_for'
./features/support/helpers/misc_helpers.rb:36:in `try_for'
./features/step_definitions/browser.rb:127:in `page_has_loaded_in_the_Tor_Browser'
./features/step_definitions/common_steps.rb:402:in `/^the Tor Browser loads the (startup page|Tails homepage|Tails roadmap)$/'
features/torified_browsing.feature:99:in `And the Tor Browser loads the startup page'
Looking at the failure screenshot we can see that the startup page that was loaded is:
https://tails.boum.org/home/index.en.html
but for development builds we expect:
https://tails.boum.org/home/testing/index.en.html
This is very odd since the
config/chroot_local-hooks/11-localize_browser
script hardcodes the
startup home page, so we should not be able to see different results.
