Windows Nightly quits immediately with "wglCreateContextAttribsARB failed"

[CAfromCA]

When starting a nightly build on Windows (pulled this morning: 34d3357), Servo opens a blank window for a brief moment and then quits with the following error:

Failed to create window.: OsError("wglCreateContextAttribsARB failed: OS Error -1073274731 (FormatMessageW() returned error 317) (os error -1073274731)") (thread main, at src\libcore\result.rs:859)

My basic system specs are:

OS: Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64-bit
CPU: i5 2520M @ 2.5 GHz (Sandy Bridge)
RAM: 12.0 GB (11.8 GB usable due to integrated graphics)
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 3000
GPU driver version: 9.17.10.4229 (appears to be the latest/last available from Intel)

This is a spin-off of #16393, as it appears I'm having a different issue than the people seeing "wglCreateContextAttribsARB" errors.

[jdm]

For the headless issue, I guess GL isn't loading right, since it certainly should have been according to this block.

[ArkadiuszMichalski]

Same here, autoclose when run .exe, my spec:
OS: Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64-bit
CPU: i7 2600k
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 3000
GPU driver version: 15.28.24.4229 (9.17.10.4229) https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/81500/Intel-HD-Graphics-3000

My error log:
Failed to create window.: OsError("wglCreateContextAttribsARB failed: OS Error -1073274731 (FormatMessageW() returned error 317) (os error -1073274731)") (thread main, at src\libcore\result.rs:859)

[voracity]

Identical error here.

My specs:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
CPU: i7 2630QM
GPU: Intel HD 3000
GPU driver version: 9.17.10.4229

[CAfromCA]

It looks like a recent fix for an Intel HD 4400 driver bug (servo/webrender#1251, picked up by Servo a few hours ago in #16917) did not resolve this issue.

That wasn't surprising after I read the WR issue details, but I saw "Intel" and got excited for a moment.

[CAfromCA]

Just wanted to note that WR changes picked up in the past week or so have not had any effect on this issue.

[CAfromCA]

Updates to various files have caused the line numbers to change slightly over time, so here's an updated dump of the errors from a compile I did a few minutes ago.

Normal run command:

Failed to create window.: OsError("wglCreateContextAttribsARB failed: OS Error -1073274731 (FormatMessageW() returned error 317) (os error -1073274731)") (thread main, at src\libcore\result.rs:860)

[gaby2300]

Hello, I'm still having this issue with the newest build and Windows 7 64 bit. Is it going to be fixed any time soon? Thanks!

[adamncasey]

Looks like headless mode isn't implemented on Windows. I just hit this attempting to run the wpt/ref tests.

servo/ports/glutin/window.rs

Lines 166 to 169 in c1b196b

	#[cfg(not(any(target_os = "linux", target_os = "macos")))]
	fn get_proc_address(_: &str) -> *const c_void {
	ptr::null() as *const _
	}

Running with -z will crash on Windows. Unrelated to the crash being encoutered without -z

[CAfromCA]

I never updated this bug, but in #16393 @jonathandturner confirmed that Servo needs OpenGL 3.2 support, which Intel does not provide for Sandy Bridge on Windows (and never will).

The solution is apparently to update Servo to use ANGLE on Windows, which is on the roadmap, so I feel like I should probably close this ticket. I was just waiting on an actual Servo developer to give a thumbs up or down on doing so, though. I don't like to close tickets on other people's projects without their permission even if I opened them.

[jonathandturner]

@CAfromCA - sorry for the delay. Yes, let's go ahead and close this and lean on the ANGLE work to fill our our device support.

Thanks again.
