New submission from Brian Curtin <cur...@acm.org>: test_os._kill is used by test_kill_sigterm and test_kill_int and is failing on a slow Windows buildbot due to timing issues between the process starting and the signal being sent. I've checked in a few small time.sleep hacks in the meantime to see if that would help the bot, but I'd like to get a solid fix in there.
The attached patch adds a loop to the test function to see that even if the subprocess doesn't respond right away, it will have a few chances to respond and run the test. If the expected message isn't piped from the subprocess after 5 retries, the test fails. ---------- assignee: brian.curtin components: Library (Lib), Windows files: fix_test_os.diff keywords: patch messages: 103179 nosy: brian.curtin priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Improve test_os._kill (failing on slow machines) type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file16928/fix_test_os.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8405> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
