go //py:firefox_test:run fails because of missing folders and files.

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 5853

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Clone the repository.
2. Run "./go //py:firefox_test:run"


What is the expected output?

I expect to see tests for Firefox's Python bindings to run.


What do you see instead?

error: can't copy 'py\selenium\webdriver\firefox\x86\x_ignore_nofocus.so': doesn't
exist or not a regular file
go aborted!

(full output at http://pastebin.com/bZB1ZCJg and attached below)


Please provide any additional information below.
Existing comitters will not be able to reproduce the bug, because their folders do
exist. These folders are not included in source control, as seen in .gitignore:

...
dist/
py/selenium/webdriver/firefox/amd64/
...
py/selenium/webdriver/firefox/x86/
...


I was able to locate these files in build/java:
rob:~/git/selenium$ find . -iname 'x_ignore_nofocus.so'
./build/java/client/src/org/openqa/selenium/firefox/amd64/x_ignore_nofocus.so
./build/java/client/src/org/openqa/selenium/firefox/tmp_x86/x_ignore_nofocus.so
./build/java/client/src/org/openqa/selenium/firefox/x86/x_ignore_nofocus.so
./build/java/client/src/org/openqa/selenium/firefox/tmp_amd64/x_ignore_nofocus.so


After copying these two folders (amd64 and x86), the tests run fine.

Reproduced.

As workaround 'go.bat py_prep_for_install_release' couldbe used.
It creates all necessary folders and copies prebuilt x_ignore_nofocus.so and built
webdriver.xpi
After this python tests executed.

easier repro steps than cloning a fresh repo:

git clean -xdf
./go test_py

to run the python tests against firefox one needs to 'build' firefox in the selenium
project first.

`./go test_py` works from a clean checkout (builds first and then runs the  `//py:firefox_test:run`
target) please use this target instead.
