New submission from Stephen Hansen <me+pyt...@ixokai.io>: Ever since running the snow leopard buildslave, I've had sporadic failures in test_urllibnet. At first I thought it was just a net glitch on my machine or something, as immediately re-running the tests made it go away: but this most recent one:
http://www.python.org/dev//buildbot/builders/x86%20Snow%20Leopard%203.1/builds/20/steps/test/logs/stdio happened while I was very much monitoring and using the network on the machine for other purposes, and everything was fine in general. So, I went and looked into test_urllibnet to try to figure out why, and I notice that some of the tests use code to retry on IOErrors, and some don't-- and this test that failed in particular is one that doesn't. So: anyone have a better idea of what's going wrong, or is it just that hey, the active network tests are a bit flaky and all should use _open_with_retry instead of just some as is the case now? [If the latter, I can do a patch] FWIW, I've only seen this on the 3.1 and 3.x buildslaves, but have seen it on both of those more then once. But I don't know that its a 3.x specific issue: those builds get run more often then the 2.7 one, so have more chances to run into a sporadic issue. ---------- components: Tests messages: 118772 nosy: ixokai priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Sporadic failures in test_urllibnet versions: Python 3.1, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10116> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
