test_create_read_special_symlink broken - just hangs infinitely

Open ThomasWaldmann opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

master branch.

likely broken due to threading usage in test.

iirc one could reproduce with pytest -k test_create_read_special_symlink - it will never terminate.

btw: not fixed by #7317.

I now ran into similar hanging issues on Linux (Github CI runners) within PR #8883 - although it never was an issues on Linux (master branch).

Tried to fix by:

adding a delay between thread start and borg create
adding a synchronisation at the same place
reading all remaining data from the pipe, using multiple reads until no data is returned anymore

All did not fix the hanging.
