Hi Stuart, Robert. We have two problems that seem like they ought to be solvable by increasing timeouts, but apparently are not. This email is about one of them. I might write you about the other one too the next time it pops up.
The most recent 20.2 MB test failure message can be obtained here: http://ubuntuone.com/0kW9S8M5SGM5JqZ9HPBHfj Other parts of this test file have failed for us as well in virtually identical ways. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/974617 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/1003040 for some of the history, if you like. These tests don't appear to have failed on the non-parallel lpbuildbot. I haven't seen complaints about them before, at least. The test file is one I wrote a while ago as an integration test for our "the atabase is down" help page. The page is exercised mostly during deployments. And now for the questions! To Stuart, and maybe Robert: do you see any clues in those tracebacks and database messages to give us an idea about what to look for? The fact that things really are supposed to be failing for part of that time really confuses me. Admittedly, none of us have dug in on this problem yet. Speaking for myself, I'm afraid a bit of irrational To Robert, and maybe Stuart: I've considered simply ripping this test file out. I feel it would be at least a mild shame, because it really does verify something important. OTOH, it's arguably doing horrible things, far into integration test land. What do you think of deleting the file entirely? (Unfortunately, I won't be able to ask that second question for the other problem we are having: we'd have to rip out all the tests that depend on RabbitMQ, since it is the layer setUp that is rarely failing!) Thank you, Gary
