Pyro4 test suite fails with Travis
Peque opened this issue · comments
From time to time it seems to fail.
Seems to be the same problem always, but with different results:
- All tests pass, but the build is terminated by Travis as it gets stuck.
- All tests pass, the build success but there is still an error in the Travis log.
testInvalidMessageCrashfails and the usual log appears.testInvalidMessageCrashfails but this time with no other logtestInvalidMessageCrashfails and this time with extra log
They seem to occur randomly, independently from the Python interpreter version.
The concurrent jobs limit was set to 1 but I didn't think much of it. What is a travis build job exactly? Anyway I've cranked it up a bit to 4 to see if that helps. Other transiet build errors such as "invalid message type X received" also pop up now and then, no idea where these come from. Same solution: retry build and often it then works.... 🤔
@irmen Yeah, I don't think that could help with this issue. A job is each of the Travis configurations to run the tests (in Pyro4 case is just all the supported Python interpreters):
Allowing concurrent builds (free plans let you run at most 5 concurrent build jobs) will simply make tests finish faster. So the only advantage is that you will see Travis results faster.
I tweaked the test_socket.py tests a little and things seem better now https://travis-ci.org/irmen/Pyro4/builds/261651597
Closing this issue now, I've seen a couple of travis builds run without errors now, while previously at least one of the tasks would fail.
Re-open if you disagree or if travis starts playing up again 😄
