[Fedora KDE] Tests do not pass on fresh source install - Discovery fails

[osrf-migration]

Original report (archived issue) by Til Hoff (Bitbucket: turakar).

---

Description

ign-transport is compiled from source without errors. After that, make test is run. Some of the tests, most noticeably UNIT_Discovery_TEST, fails. Test INTEGRATION_twoProcsSrvCallStress hangs and blocks further tests.

Steps to reproduce

• use Fedora KDE 29 / 30
• install dependencies (migrated from the install instructions for ignition)

sudo dnf install cmake freeglut-devel ffmpeg-devel freeimage-devel gflags-devel glew-devel gts-devel ogre-devel protobuf-devel protobuf-c-devel qt5 tinyxml2-devel tinyxml-devel pkg-config protobuf-compiler python qt5-qtquickcontrols qt5-qtquickcontrols2 qt5-devel qt5-qtdeclarative-devel qt5-qtquickcontrols2-devel ruby rubygem-ronn uuid-devel libzip-devel jsoncpp-devel libcurl-devel libyaml-devel czmq-devel cppzmq-devel sqlite-devel libwebsockets-devel eigen3-devel openssl-devel git mercurial make g++

• build dart, assimp and gflags from source (unrelated to ign-transport, but important for the merge-install)

  • On Fedora KDE 30 you can use gflags-devel from the repositories

• clone the sources as laid out in the official install instructions for ignition

• build a merge-install

colcon build --merge-install

• Execute the following:

cd ign-transport
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
make test

Expected behaviour

Compilation works. All tests pass.

Actual behaviour

Compilation works (no severe warnings printed, no dependencies not found). Test results:

The tests hang here with low CPU usage for over one hour. There is a detailed log in the comments below.

Version

• Fedora KDE 29 / 30
• source install
• latest ignition (blueprint)

Additional Information

• I think this is the reason why ign-gazebo does not start on my machine (ignitionrobotics/ign-gazebo#38) (gazebo client cannot find the server and therefore waits forever).
• The problem does not happen on classic Fedora (Gnome), as verified by spinning up several VMs
• There is a workaround: Set IGN_IP=127.0.0.1 environment variable.
