Sometimes this means that the test is really stuck, but often it means that an error has occurred but was not handled by the test, so you get an error (maybe logged, maybe not) but also the test never ends. Always exactly 12 and always during same test for a single test run. > I've not been able to reproduce running anything but the full > testsuite - but they have always occured for me during full run. > > Just wondered if anybody with more experience had a clue/idea as to > why this could happen (why 12), and how I could go about tracking down > the root cause. > Look for missing error handling in the test to see if an error is occurring that the test does not notice; if you're lucky, these errors may have been logged (check test.log). If not, you may need to improve the error handling and / or play around in a debugger. If the test really is stuck, a common cause of PyPy vs CPython issues is garbage collection or weakref callbacks happening in an unpredictable ordering of events. I haven't looked at the tests in question but I would check for things like __del__ methods (eg. files not being closed explicitly) or weakref use in the vicinity.
