MSS trying to identify timing out tests on Mac

To get to this information I first created a set of all test names, pytest --collect-only parsed the content for the functions name. Then I logged the pytest -n auto --dist loadfile of executed tests until it gets stuck.

I did several runs, always waiting until it stucks, then I compared both sets.

4 {'test_window_start', 'test_switch_view', 'test_kwargs_update_does_not_harm', 'test_window_contact_none'}
15 {'test_identify_CF_isopressure', 'test_num2date', 'test_identify_CF_hybrid', 'test_jsec_to_datetime', 'test_datetime_to_jsec', 'test_kwargs_update_does_not_harm', 'test_identify_CF_isopottemp', 'test_identify_CF_isopotvort', 'test_parse_iso_duration', 'test_parse_iso_datetime', 'test_identify_CF_coordhybrid', 'test_identify_CF_time', 'test_identify_CF_isoaltitude', 'test_get_latlon_data', 'test_identify_CF_ensemble'}
23 {'test_get_operation_by_id', 'test_get_operations_skip_archived', 'test_get_users_with_permission', 'test_uploads', 'test_messages', 'test_set_last_used', 'test_authorized', 'test_hello', 'test_register_user', 'test_home', 'test_message_attachment', 'test_undo_changes', 'test_dont_create_operation', 'test_changes', 'test_get_operations', 'test_get_users_without_permission', 'test_get_auth_token', 'test_version_name_delete', 'test_check_login', 'test_unauthorized_profile_image_upload', 'test_set_active', 'test_kwargs_update_does_not_harm', 'test_user_register_handler'}
4 {'test_window_start', 'test_switch_view', 'test_kwargs_update_does_not_harm', 'test_window_contact_none'}
4 {'test_kwargs_update_does_not_harm', 'test_window_start', 'test_window_contact_none', 'test_switch_view'}
4 {'test_window_contact_none', 'test_kwargs_update_does_not_harm', 'test_window_start', 'test_switch_view'}
35 {'test_xml', 'test_xml_time_multiperiod', 'test_invalid_schema', 'test_server_service_cache', 'test_xml_inittime_reference', 'test_server_abort_getmap', 'test_no_schema', 'test_invalid_url', 'test_xml_time_forecast', 'test_filter_handling', 'test_multilayer_handling', 'test_xml_time_error', 'test_xml_emptyextent', 'test_xml_othertimeformat', 'test_window_start', 'test_server_getmap_cached', 'test_forward_backward_clicks', 'test_xml_time_init_period', 'test_xml_separate_leafs', 'test_kwargs_update_does_not_harm', 'test_switch_view', 'test_singlelayer_handling', 'test_xml_currenttag', 'test_valid_before_init', 'test_xml_time_period', 'test_multilayer_syncing', 'test_xml_no_inittime', 'test_xml_no_validtime', 'test_connection_error', 'test_xml_onlytimedim', 'test_xml_no_elevation', 'test_xml_separatedim', 'test_server_no_thread', 'test_multilayer_drawing', 'test_window_contact_none'}

It gives more or less a random result. It is likly not a test the reason for the problems.

hi @ReimarBauer I think the failing test cases are due to race conditions and shared state issues when running tests in parallel using pytest -n auto --dist loadfile. i think we should add more @pytest.mark tags to better categorise the parrallel test execution

The problem happens also with serial testing.
