Libelektra: testmod_gopts: sporadic timeouts

Created on 2 Nov 2019  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: ElektraInitiative/libelektra

Seems like testmod_gopts sometimes has timeouts. I thought this is was introduced by my PR but we have seen different PRs now with this issue.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

Open a PR and let the builds and tests run.

Expected Result

Test suite runs fine.

Actual Result

Sometimes the tests time out:

 76/134 MemCheck  #85: testmod_gopts ....................***Timeout 120.05 sec

System Information

  • Elektra Version: master
  • Operating System or Docker Container?
  • Versions of other relevant software?

I assume this only happens for the MemCheck tests? If so, testmod_gopts uses fork/exec which is quite slow with valgrind. We could either increase the timeout or exclude the test.

Thank you for creating this issue!

@kodebach do you have ideas why this occurs?

Lets try to increase the timeout.
