Disable QgsTaskManager::waitForFinished test by default
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The test intermittently fails on Travis builds, likely due
to the platform's inconsistent availability to multiple threads.

I think there is actually a race condition somewhere, that I couldn't pin down yet. I just hope it's in the test and not the waitForFinished() code.

Should I reenable? I just know that many other tests which rely on multiple threads are flaky on Travis. e.g. there's others in the task manager test suite which i've had to disable, and https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/tests/src/python/test_qgslocator.py

None of these I can get to fail locally, despite everything I throw at it. Same with the waitForFinished test.

I would only re-enable once additional debug output has been added to investigate the issue.

I don't have any lead yet. But I have a bad feeling with putting them aside as "travis issues" and fear that deadlocks sit waiting somewhere to surface when they are least expected...

Me too! But it was failing quite a lot, and was at the level where we've previously disabled whole tests. I'd rather ifdef out a single test then the whole set of task manager tests....

Did you write a note on the mailing list? :P

Seriously, I was just about to disable it myself
