Checking now.

According to log, it seems to be lab network issue.

File "/usr/local/telemetry/src/third_party/catapult/telemetry/telemetry/core/local_server.py", line 152, in StartServer
    assert self._platform_backend.network_controller_backend.is_initialized
AssertionError

Besides, I tested elm/R59-9378.0.0 with "test_that elm video_PlaybackPerf.power_vp9" for three times and all passed.

+Vin for network issue.

Daniel. Can you also try "test_that elm video_PlaybackPerf.vp9"?

"test_that elm video_PlaybackPerf.vp9" passed as well.

I also tried the server side test with "test_that elm video_PowerConsumption.vp8" and it failed although I'm not sure whether the test needs a special environment setup. There is no error message in the log.

+dshi, akeshet. Have you seen errors like this?

File "/usr/local/telemetry/src/third_party/catapult/telemetry/telemetry/core/local_server.py", line 152, in StartServer
    assert self._platform_backend.network_controller_backend.is_initialized

I've never seen such error. How about try test_that with :lab: option to run it in lab?

Daniel. Please try lab option.

The lab is still closed. Will try when it comes back.

This is still failing in tot.

I got INFRA_FAILURE while trying to run it in lab.

+hiroh@ who has also been looking at failures in this test.

video_WebRtcPerf has the same problem. Maybe all tests that use SetHTTPServerDirectories are broken.

video_WebRtcPerf also started to fail in 9378.0.0.

Re #10, Lab has some network issue in these two days due to lots of chrome crash. (See http://crbug.com/713004)
It is getting recovered, maybe you can try it again. 

We need to add init_network_controller=True.

See https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=701629 for reference.

Please also help add init_network_controller=True for video_WebRtcPerf.
