Hi all,



this patch fixes problem described in the ticket [1]

that caused the test run to fail completely at every other or so
run.

I took the liberty to fix most of the pep8 issues while I was at it.



Thanks to Jan Cholasta for help with identifying this one.


IMO this would be more robust:



     t = None

     try:

         ...

     finally:

         del t

         nss.nss_shutdown()



By assigning a value to the variable at the beginning you make sure

that the del statement will not fail.

Thanks for the idea. It also removed the version check.

Updated patch attached.



Milan





Self NACK.



I have updated the fix for all of the leaks in that class. It seems to

corrupt the database even when no init/shutdown was called. Just not

so often.



Milan





NACK again. The problem is the reference counting. Even with this patch,

there seems to be at least one reference left after 't' is deleted and

nss.nss_shutdown races with the garbage collector.


Doesn't the PKCDDocument object also reference some NSS objects? It
might be worth trying to delete it manually before nss_shutdown as well.





Yes, this patch doesn't work. There are still some references left.

The problem may be on multiple places in here [1].

There may be a reference still bound to the doc label.
Another problem is that python 2 code:

[x for x in [123, 456]]

creates 2 references to 456 as the list used in the assert lives for
some time
before it is garbage collected even though it is not reachable,
holding a reference to the object labeled as t.
In Python 2 the list comprehension leaks the internal loop variable. It
was an oversight in the design of list comprehensions. This has been
fixed in Python 3. You can work around the problem with a generator
expression inside list()

    list(x for x in [123, 456])

is equivalent to

   [x for x in [123, 456]]

except it doesn't leak x to the outer scope.

If you suspect an issue related to cyclic GC, you can force a garbage
collector run with gc.collect().

Hi Christian, I already use the generator expression as Martin suggested earlier today. Together with the decorator proposed by Jan. I had some trouble with the test teardown method, but it seems I had a minor problem in my environment as there was missing ~/.ipa/alias directory in the test run.

On the other hand, while not changing the job on jenkins I wonder why it worked sometimes in this env.
