Dne 25.3.2017 v 18:38 Vincent Matossian napsal(a):
I intermittently see tests erroring out with reason

"fail_reason": "Test reported status but did not finish"

Unfortunately I don't have a reliable reproduction case, but was
wondering if it was a known issue?

I didn't deep dive in the code but looking at avocado/core/runner.py's
run_test method, could it be that the queue ends up empty before the
process is actually deemed gone?

wait.wait_for(lambda: not queue.empty() or not proc.is_alive(),
cycle_timeout, first, step)

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Vincent


Dear Vincent,

the description says it all, the test process reported the status:

    avocado.core.runner:L323
    queue.put(state)

but then the process did not finish, which could be because:

1. the machine is too busy, timeout is 2s
2. the test spawned some threads/processes which prevent it from finishing

Do you also get the "Killing hanged test process ..." messages in the main `job.log`? If not it's likely the (1), otherwise it could be any of those.

Perhaps you could try increasing the timeout in:

    avocado.core.runner:L437
    test_state = test_status.finish(proc, time_started, cycle_timeout,

replace the `cycle_timeout` with a number, I'd go with 10s or so and let us know whether it solved your issue. We can be probably a bit more lenient...
