Some of the autorevert tests fail on Cygwin. The precise tests that
fail aren't the same in every run, but here's the result of the most
recent run on my 64-bit Cygwin system:
Ran 8 tests, 3 results as expected, 5 unexpected (2021-07-20 11:28:04-0400,
9.783866 sec)
5 unexpected results:
FAILED auto-revert-test00-auto-revert-mode
FAILED auto-revert-test01-auto-revert-several-files
FAILED auto-revert-test02-auto-revert-deleted-file
FAILED auto-revert-test05-global-notify
FAILED auto-revert-test07-auto-revert-several-buffers
And here's the result of the most recent run on my 32-bit Cygwin system:
Ran 8 tests, 4 results as expected, 4 unexpected (2021-07-20 11:35:17-0400,
19.531540 sec)
4 unexpected results:
FAILED auto-revert-test00-auto-revert-mode
FAILED auto-revert-test01-auto-revert-several-files
FAILED auto-revert-test02-auto-revert-deleted-file
FAILED auto-revert-test05-global-notify
I also see occasional failures of
auto-revert-test03-auto-revert-tail-mode on both architectures.
test02 and test05 have apparently been failing for a long time, but I
didn't notice it prior to commit fe16248b77, because all tests were
tagged as expensive before then and so weren't run by 'make check'. The
(sporadic) failures of test00, test01, and test03 started with that
commit, so they are almost certainly due to timing issues. I'm not sure
about test07, which wasn't added until later. All I know is that it
always fails on 64-bit and occasionally fails on 32-bit. This makes me
guess that it's also a timing issue, but I suppose there could be some
other bug that's specific to 64-bit.
I'm not interested in spending a lot of time on this (or asking anyone
else to spend time on it), because I've never seen a Cygwin user
complain about auto-revert mode. (Maybe no one uses it because it's
slow.) But I would like to stop seeing the test failures.
Here's one possibility: Skip test02 and test05 on Cygwin, with a FIXME
comment indicating that they've been failing for a long time and we
don't know why. Tag test00, test01, and test03 as expensive on Cygwin,
since we would have to make the tests much slower in order for them to
pass. I'm not sure about test07.
Other suggestions?
Thanks.
