this has been failing on and off for a while, even when the same commit was being tested. we just didn't notice the failures, because scala/scala-jenkins-infra#154 . apparently the test is nondeterministic.

[SethTisue]

haha, @retronym and @dragos have been here before: Jason disabled this test once already in scala/scala@8986ee4 ("The test seems to only fail on the windows nightly build"), then Iulian reinstated it in scala/scala@1122e9e

I have not had any luck reproducing the failure locally on Mac OS X, even on a heavily loaded machine (heavily enough to more than double the time it takes the test to run).

Nor did I have any luck reproducing it on jenkins-worker-windows-publish by running cd ~jenkins/workspace/scala-2.11.x-integrate-windows; test/partest test/files/presentation/doc. Dozens of passes, zero failures. Same result even if I load the machine.

[retronym]

Triggered a build which should appear at https://scala-ci.typesafe.com/job/scala-2.11.x-integrate-windows/134 soon.

optimistically closing.

I got it to fail on CI but not on local Ubuntu WSL.

A different test failed on Ubuntu with jdk 14, but passes on jdk 8. Forgot to run --show-diff:

The default timeout is 1 second per operation. But I don't see any .get(timeout), just .get which waits until interruption, so maybe that is the intermittency. I was willing to add retries on timeouts.

haha, retronym and dragos have been here before:

haha, it seems I've been here before.

I got fed up at scala/scala#10334 (comment).

I don't even have my usual excuse that my previous comment was pre-pandemic. My other excuse is that I block out anything to do with the presentation compiler. If I make an effort, though, I wonder if they'll give me a "Presentation is Everything!" t-shirt.
