[PATCH v4 29/30] tests/unit: cleanups for test-io-channel-command
Posted by Alex Bennée 3 years, 3 months ago
This test is hanging under heavy load when the two socats race while
trying to create the socket. I've tried various approaches to avoid
the race but it seems "creat=0" won't stop socat trying to create a
pipe if it executes first. In the end I just use a small sleep which
seems to be reliable enough on the load situations I've tried.

While I was there I also properly created a tmpdir for the socket to
live in which is cleaned up at the end of the test.

We should figure out a better fix eventually, but this hack at least
ought to avoid the issue for most cases, so worth it as a temp fix.

If I'm nitpicking, I would have preferred the refactoring to be
done separately from the addition of tmpdir, and especially separately
from the sleep, so we can just revert the sleep patch later.


With regards,
Daniel
