New submission from STINNER Victor:
The "x86 Gentoo Refleaks 3.x" buildbot runs tests using -u-cpu to disable the
cpu resource. The problem is that DirectoryTestCase.test_files() of
Lib/test/test_tools/test_unparse.py uses random:
# Test limited subset of files unless the 'cpu' resource is specified.
if not test.support.is_resource_enabled("cpu"):
names = random.sample(names, 10)
So when we run the same test 7 times, each run uses different data.
I see different options:
* Reseed random using the same seed in dash_R() of regrtest
* Always test all data in test_unparse.py: all files, or select a specific set
of interesting files
The random issue is more generic than just test_unparse.py, and so it would be
interesting to explore this path. Maybe the random issue explains why some
other tests fail randomly.
libregrtest always seeds the random RNG using a seed displayed on the standard
output. We should either reuse this seed, or create a new unique seed for each
test file, and display it (to be able to reproduce tests).
Reseed random before running each test file can also helps to make tests more
reproductible
