Hi Naveen, I believe that the timeout is not an issue for the branch. And I see great benefit in having tests for MACOS on the release branch. The travis build is not blocking anyway, so I don't see any risk in adding it.
* test_dropout Currently, there is a problem with test_dropout that fails consistently on the branch: http://jenkins.mxnet-ci.amazon-ml.com/blue/organizations/jenkins/incubator-mxnet/detail/v1.3.x/97/pipeline Error reported: ====================================================================== FAIL: test_operator.test_dropout ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Anaconda3\envs\py3\lib\site-packages\nose\case.py", line 197, in runTest self.test(*self.arg) File "C:\jenkins_slave\workspace\ut-python-gpu\tests\python\unittest\common.py", line 173, in test_new orig_test(*args, **kwargs) File "C:\jenkins_slave\workspace\ut-python-gpu\tests\python\unittest\test_operator.py", line 5853, in test_dropout check_dropout_ratio(0.0, shape) File "C:\jenkins_slave\workspace\ut-python-gpu\tests\python\unittest\test_operator.py", line 5797, in check_dropout_ratio assert exe.outputs[0].asnumpy().min() == min_value AssertionError: -------------------- >> begin captured logging << -------------------- common: INFO: Setting test np/mx/python random seeds, use MXNET_TEST_SEED=428273587 to reproduce. --------------------- >> end captured logging << --------------------- The test is enabled on master: Re-enables test_operator.test_dropout https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/12717 And there are no failures for it [1]. * KVStore tests Unfortunately, KVStore tests fail as well. http://jenkins.mxnet-ci.amazon-ml.com/blue/organizations/jenkins/incubator-mxnet/detail/v1.3.x/96/pipeline Error reported: AssertionError test_gluon_trainer_type() assert trainer._update_on_kvstore is update_on_kv\ File "dist_sync_kvstore.py", line 388, in test_gluon_trainer_type If nobody has a fix for these issues, I will disable the tests and add information to the known issues section.
