Pinging @KasperJanssens, this is caused by pull request #174. I'm looking into this now. Thanks @peti.

Is this an intermittent failure or does it always fail? Because I just cloned conduits fresh, performed
cabal sandbox init
cabal install --dependencies-only --enable-tests
cabal build
cabal test
and I didn't get failures. I ran the cabal test five times in a row.

In this test, I try whether adding a custom after bind function works nicely with the after bind function that puts the MVar. The latter I use as the sign that the server is accepting connections and is always added to the config.

I think I'll need a little bit of context, I didn't find the 'build plan' or so on that server so I guess I cannot reproduce it exactly and my four cabal incantations are not exactly the ones the server is doing, I suspect.

I think the test failure occurs only sporadically.

I think we'll just disable those tests in NixOS to work around that issue for the time being. The build failure prevents many other packages from compiling, unfortunately.

[KasperJanssens]

That's really bad. Can you give me the instructions how you run those tests, I'll see whether I can reproduce and fix?

Do you run them through cabal in the same way as I did a few posts earlier or is there something else happening in your ci's test plan? Maybe that gives me a hint, because I can't seem to reproduce them locally with the cabal incantations I use.

@peti Is this still occurring? I've never received a test failure from stackage for conduit-extra.

[peti]

I don't know ... we don't run the test suite anymore.

[snoyberg]

It seems to be working for me now, so closing. If you turn on the test suite again and find failures, let me know.
