[PATCH] spec: Increase meson test timeout 10x
Posted by Cole Robinson 3 years, 2 months ago
Tests time out when building in slow environments, like emulated
s390x in Fedora copr. Bump up the test timeout

I have to do this for slow hardware too, so I'm fine with it.

Looks like we have consensus here. In the past, we've increased the 
timeout for qemuxml2argvtest:

https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/commit/94146c9d2ba

Would it make sense finally admit that not everybody is running top 
shelf CPU and increase the timeout even for 'ninja test'? I mean, set 
timeout to a bigger value in tests/meson.build and drop special casing 
of one test?

+1 from me. In my case the slow test was virschematest

Debian has been doing the same thing for a while, even though in that
case it's to cope with slow native hardware rather than emulation:

  https://salsa.debian.org/libvirt-team/libvirt/-/blob/debian/6.9.0-3/debian/rules#L170-179

from my side, but please leave the message on the list for a few days
to give other people the opportunity to voice any concerns they might
have.

FYI, I also use the timeout multiplier in the SUSE libvirt package to avoid test 
failures in OBS, particularly for non-x86 architectures. A value of 5 has worked 
fine thus far.
