> the bugfixing period should start next week. I hope I'll be able to address at least the Gradle/java one. I've already found some race - but apparently not all of them. +1, but: The purpose of pre-commit CI validation is: _prevent others to cause regressions_. Keeping unreliable tests in the shared CI pool undermines the main purpose - it only annoys others as they are being punished by your own incapability to stabilize your tests. Set a private job (like [vscode did](https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Netbeans/job/netbeans-vscode/) with `java/java.lsp.server` tests) to run your tests including `@RandomlyFails` ones. Execute often and perform stabilization of your code & tests there until the code is stable. Meanwhile just annotate **every** randomly failing test in pre-commit CI as `@RandomlyFails` ones. I fully understand why engineers don't want to disable tests, but consider the harm caused by keeping annoying randomly failing tests in the shared CI pool. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
