Subject: | Random test results; timeout too tight? |
This test failure happens from time to time and then is not reproducable:
t/01-mysql........
# Failed test 'got lock on timeout_test'
# at t/01-mysql.t line 59.
# Failed test 'timeout didn't fire - it between 3 and 10 seconds'
# at t/01-mysql.t line 73.
# Looks like you failed 2 tests of 10.
dubious
^ITest returned status 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)
DIED. FAILED tests 7, 9
^IFailed 2/10 tests, 80.00% okay
It seems that the test on a busy machine (or due to other factors) can
produce wrong results. In my last 42 tests it happened 8 times. Maybe
raising a timeout is all that's needed. Maybe you could try that on the
next release?
Thanks,
