Marionette also has thrown an error in takeScreenshot. Maybe its related. I will file that as a separate bug and will mark it as dependency.

This is failing a lot on the lastet beta update tests for Firefox 48.0:
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=mozilla-beta&revision=d142c49033c015f67272562b37dbe2912cfc7f14&group_state=expanded&filter-tier=3&filter-searchStr=Fxup-beta-cdntest&selectedJob=1302898

I will check today what's causing that.

This problem seems to only occur for watershed releases when another update is in the queue. The following check will always fail because `type` is part of the `patch` sub-property:

My watershed suspicion was correct. In the following example we started with a 46.0 release and tried to upgrade to latest beta. But we ended up with 48.0b1:

https://aus5.mozilla.org/update/3/Firefox/46.0/20160411042519/WINNT_x86-msvc/en-US/beta-cdntest/Windows_NT%206.1/default/default/update.xml?force=1

Michelle, you should make sure not to include releases before the watershed release for testing on the given platform. Even with this bug fixed, the tests will fail - but then with a more helpful message.

I moved the whole block down here because it would be more important to do the version and buildid checks first before spitting out an update type failure, which is lesser understandable as why we upgraded to a specific version.

Maja, could you help getting this patch backported down to beta if all goes well by next week? It would just be adding the whiteboard entries. Thanks

This seems to be behaving well. As per Henrik's request, adding checkin-needed tags

Unfortunately we are mostly unaware when new watershed updates are setup. I've brought this up to Sylvestre so we can find a solution to get notified whenever new watersheds are setup, as it's not the first time that we find out about a new watershed after it was deployed.
Sounds great. Also the new failure message will clearly indicate now that Firefox has not been updated to the expected target build version but a former one.

Those latest test failures as listed by Orange Factor should not have been starred against this bug, but a new one filed. Given that this hasn't been done yesterday I will do it now.
