New submission from STINNER Victor: On buildbots, it's common to see such warning:
0:32:04 [269/404] test_property passed -- running: test_multiprocessing_spawn (74 sec) D:\buildarea\3.x.bolen-windows10\build\lib\test\support\__init__.py:1012: RuntimeWarning: tests may fail, unable to create temporary directory 'D:\\buildarea\\3.x.bolen-windows10\\build\\build\\test_python_1048': [WinError 183] Cannot create a file when that file already exists: 'D:\\buildarea\\3.x.bolen-windows10\\build\\build\\test_python_1048' with temp_dir(path=name, quiet=quiet) as temp_path: running: test_cmd_line_script (30 sec), test_multiprocessing_spawn (104 sec) I also got it *sometimes*. It took me months to understand where it does come from. It's quite stupid in fact: temporary directories are not removed if a test does crash (ex: segfault). Later, if a test process has the same PID than the crashed process, you get the warning. I suggest to add a "clean" step on buildbots to first remove old "test_python_*" directories leaked by previous runs. First, I wanted to add such cleanup in regrtest directly, but it's common that I run two main regrtest processes in parallel, and I would like to keep this feature. If regrtest starts by removing test_python_*: it will break currently running tests. I'm not 100% confident that the warning is caused by previous runs, but I think that it's worth it to try to cleanup to check if it's case ;-) ---------- components: Tests keywords: buildbot messages: 292340 nosy: haypo, serhiy.storchaka, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: "tests may fail, unable to create temporary directory" warning on buildbot: add a cleanup step to buildbots versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30170> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
