Okay, got a useful log message: application-click-com.example.lp1245677_lp1245677_0.1.log:** (process:28517): WARNING **: Unable to exec 'echo Error' in '/opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/phablet/com.example.lp1245677': Permission denied
Looks like APP_EXEC is not getting set before the job ends. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Unity API bugs, which is subscribed to Upstart Application Launcher. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1275017 Title: Unable to exec: Permission denied while starting applications Status in Upstart Application Launcher: New Status in “upstart-app-launch” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Please note that it's not entirely clear if this is an upstart-app- launch bug. It's our first lead. This bug causes random failures (very rarely) in security autopilot tests. As seen in the smoketesting results: http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/mako/156:20140131:20140115.1/6364/security/719045/ I was able to reproduce the same test failure but on random click apps when running the test on my local mako machine. Some logs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6850227/ - the DEBUG output from upstart for the failing application The same problem seems to cause many application autopilot tests failing as well - it seems that upstart-app-launch cannot lunch applications sometimes. Reverting upstart-app-launch and running autopilot test suites results in everything passing, while there are random failures with the latest upstart-app-launch installed.
