[yast-devel] [PATCH] yast2-core: agent-process: fix stdout/stderr test cases
When running the stdout and stderr test cases while building yast2-core
for ARM, we execute processes slower than the yast developer machines
apparently :).
The test cases expect data to flow between the ycp code and cat within
50 ms, but we can't guarantee that. In fact, it basically never worked
in my tests.
The real fix would probably to listen on the socket and see if new data
comes in and only then read from there, but I'm not sure it's worth it
for a test case. Instead, we can just increase the sleeps to something
really high so we definitely catch all the shiny new data on the other
end of the pipe.
Please apply.

What about rather checking for architecture and raise the sleep time only in case of ARM detected (if possible)? I'd prefer not changing it for the rest of architectures.

Even the .probe-agent in YaST knows the arm architecture. But I'm not sure if we can avoid faking the architecture and use the real architecture in the testsuite.

Well, Arch.ycp does not support ARM, we would need to extend the arch detection, maybe fix also hwinfo. Anyway, I'll fix it in the proper way - loop until there is an output available, it will be architecture independent and work even on slow systems. -- Ladislav Slezák Appliance department / YaST Developer Lihovarská 1060/12 190 00 Prague 9 / Czech Republic tel: +420 284 028 960 lslezak@suse.com SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks. That's probably the best way forward, yes :). This bug really has nothing to do with arm - the way we build arm packages today just happens to be slow enough for us to hit the bug. But it could hit us just the same anywhere else. Alex

So how is this going along? I'd really like to see yast2-core build successfully in openSUSE:Factory:ARM. Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org

Sorry, I had some other work (SP2 online migration), I'll look at it ASAP. -- Ladislav Slezák Appliance department / YaST Developer Lihovarská 1060/12 190 00 Prague 9 / Czech Republic tel: +420 284 028 960 lslezak@suse.com SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org
