This test starts up one of the example connection managers with g_spawn_async() and does stuff with it. It's hard to tell from the debug output, but the test may have some sort of race condition resulting from that?

I seem to be able to hit it consistently, so if it's a race condition then it may be influenced by the environment. Hints on further debugging are appreciated.

I can't see an actual failure in that debug output: could it have happened earlier? On failure, there should be a line that says "ERROR", "WARNING" or "CRITICAL".

If you're logging the output to a file, you'll need both stdout and stderr (e.g. by running it with "2>&1 | tee output.log").

If you run the test under gdb, like this, you might be able to get a better idea why it's failing:

abs_top_builddir=/home/graaff/playground/test/telepathy-glib-0.12.0 \
libtool --mode=execute gdb tests/dbus/test-example-no-protocols

If it fails, you'll get normal output, followed by a gdb prompt; use the command "bt full" to find out where you are and why, and "quit" to quit.

It might also be interesting to add

    g_message ("in wait_for_name_owner_cb");

to the beginning of wait_for_name_owner_cb() in tests/dbus/example-no-protocols.c, and similar for early_cm_exited().

Running the test manually gets me an ERROR:

tp-glib:ERROR:base-connection-manager.c:255:tp_base_connection_manager_constructor: assertion failed: (cls->protocol_params != NULL)

gdb isn't helpful n this case because it ends up in a timeout.

That assertion failure can't happen in version 0.12, and indeed line 255 isn't an assertion any more! I think I know what's happening here now, though: for some reason the example CM that's being run is using your installed version of telepathy-glib, but it requires the newer version 0.12.

Could you please tell me what output these commands produce, when you're in the top-level telepathy-glib source directory and have the same environment you've been using to compile it:

    echo ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH+not_set}

    ./libtool --mode=execute ldd \
    examples/cm/no-protocols/telepathy-example-no-protocols

    make -C examples/cm/no-protocols \
    -W main.c \
    -n telepathy-example-no-protocols

Also, what telepathy-glib version(s) do you have installed system-wide, and where are they? (/usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, /opt/whatever, etc.)

These git patches might fix it:

Could you try out this snapshot version, please? I believe it will probably fix this bug.

I have telepathy-glib-0.10.7 installed in /usr/lib64 (which is the default /usr/lib on a stock Gentoo amd64 system).

Woohoo!

All 48 tests passed

Thanks!

Excellent. In that case, this is already fixed in git, and will be fixed in the 0.12.2 and 0.13.3 releases. Thanks for your help!
