Jeff Jirsa commented on CASSANDRA-10659:
----------------------------------------
[~mambocab] / [~JoshuaMcKenzie] / [~philipthompson] - if any of you believe
this should still be open, please let me know. Otherwise I'm inclined to close
as won't-fix since cassci is no longer generally available , and I suspect any
other more general test failures can be addressed elsewhere?
> Windows CassCI: Fail on timed-out tests
> ---------------------------------------

> Key: CASSANDRA-10659
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10659
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Jim Witschey
> Assignee: Jim Witschey

> On our Windows CassCI environments, it looks like some dtests are prone to
> hanging, e.g.:
> https://cassci.datastax.com/view/Dev/view/josh-mckenzie/job/josh-mckenzie-10641_windows-dtest_win32/1/
> http://cassci.datastax.com/view/cassandra-2.2/job/cassandra-2.2_dtest_win32/131/
> http://cassci.datastax.com/view/cassandra-2.2/job/cassandra-2.2_dtest_win32/129/
> http://cassci.datastax.com/view/cassandra-2.2/job/cassandra-2.2_dtest_win32/128/
> http://cassci.datastax.com/view/cassandra-2.2/job/cassandra-2.2_dtest_win32/126/
> http://cassci.datastax.com/view/cassandra-2.2/job/cassandra-2.2_dtest_win32/125/
> Ideally these tests wouldn't hang, but regardless, we should figure out a way
> to make them fail, rather than timing out Jenkins and botching the rest of
> the test run.
> The built-in [{{nosetests}} {{multiprocess}}
> plugin|http://nose.readthedocs.org/en/latest/plugins/multiprocess.html] would
> solve this problem for us -- we could run the tests with {{nosetests
> --processes=1 --process-timeout=X}} and it would stop the test and fail if
> the test took too long. However, it's broken on Windows. I've filed [a quick
> issue on the {{nose}} GitHub|https://github.com/nose-devs/nose/issues/966],
> but in the meantime, we should figure out how to avoid this.
> Possible solutions:
> # [~philipthompson] had a script that would shell out to {{nosetests}} for
> each test and kill that process if it took too long. If I understand
> correctly, that script is broken, or assumes things that are no longer true.
> We can revamp it if we want.
> # We could make a patch for {{nose}} to fix the {{multiprocess}} plugin.
> # We could hack in some of {{multiprocessing}}'s functionality into the
> {{dtest}} suite itself.
> 3. may be the best workaround for this problem -- our timeouts aren't caused
> just when a tests runs long, but when Jenkins doesn't get any output on
> stdout from a hanging test. We may be able to monitor stdout from a second
> process and fail the test before Jenkins would time out.
> Pinging [~JoshuaMcKenzie] as this is a Windows issue.
