Getting errors running SDK's unit tests

[Panagiota Mitsopoulou]

Hello everybody:-)

I am a new firefox add-on developer and I started with the Getting started tutorials. When I ran cfx testall to ensure that API is working correctly (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK/Tutorials/Troubleshooting), I got following  2 errors:

console.error: addon-page:
  fail:
  Timed out (after: START)
console.error: addon-page:
  Message: Module `sdk/addon-page` is not found at resource://gre/modules/commonjs/sdk/addon-page.js

console.error: content-permissions:

In second case I took a copy from https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/blob/master/test/lib/httpd.js, but still get the error.

I am on MAC and installed sdk following way:

brew install mozilla-addon-sdk

How can I install latest stable version of SDK?

Thanks,

Panagiota

Hey Panagiota,

So the issue here I think is that the last version of cfx we shipped (which was 1.17, the version you are using via brew) probably included too many tests, or we should have had -overload on by default when testing cfx itself.

The reasons why 1.17 was the last version we will ship of cfx is described here https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2015/02/26/jpm-replaces-cfx-for-firefox-38/

I also mention in the above link that `jpm` is the new command line tool which is what I would recommend you use now if you can support Fx 38 as the min version.

Regards,

Erik
