It's normal; if your patch cannot cause the failure then keep staging until it finally goes in. Sometimes though, we try to fix the autotests that fail the most frequently. If you can't reproduce the failure on your own machine, with the same OS, often the cause seems to be heavy multi-tasking on the CI machines, which will slow down timing-sensitive tests to the point of failure. But even that is hard to prove, since CI is a black box to most of us; and even if you get access to a CI machine to run tests on, they won't fail because it's not multi-tasking so heavily at that time. (And if it was, you'd have a problem to do anything interactively anyway.) You also can't add qDebugs or other types of verbosity to tests to try to debug CI failures because reviewers will say that tests should not be verbose. _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
