From a2246e32888646b2a31432b956a9a7c3cdeb95f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon McVittie Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2017 13:14:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] test-utils-glib: Try to emit TAP diagnostics before aborting We can't use normal I/O in a signal handler, so resort to write(). "Bail out!" is a special syntactic token in TAP. If I artifically force the tests to time out by reducing timeouts and increasing the number of operations, I get results like this: ERROR: test-sd-activation - Bail out! Test timed out (GLib main loop timeout callback reached) ERROR: test-refs - Bail out! Test timed out (SIGALRM received) which is a lot easier to understand than "Not enough tests run" or "nonzero exit status". The differing output is because test-sd-activation iterates the main loop, whereas test-refs just blocks (it is joining a series of worker threads, each of which is spamming refcount operations).
