Piotr Nowojski commented on FLINK-19377:
----------------------------------------
Yes, we are ignoring exceptions during cancelation. This is a feature, not a
bug :)
Have one of you checked/know what is the reason behind the cancelation? Is
there something else happening and the test is broken, or is the
`AssertionError` causing the task to cancel and it's being ignored because task
was cancelled?
> Task can swallow test exceptions which hides test failures

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Runtime / State Backends, Runtime / Task, Tests
> Affects Versions: 1.8.3, 1.9.3, 1.10.2, 1.11.2
> Reporter: Aljoscha Krettek
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.12.0, 1.11.3

> I noticed this while debugging {{EventTimeWindowCheckpointingITCase}}. If you
> change {{testSlidingWindows()}} to use a tumbling window instead of the
> sliding window the test should fail. Interestingly, the tests only fail when
> using the RocksDB backend but not for the heap-based backends.
> You can follow the flow by setting a breakpoint on the {{AssertionError}}
> being thrown in {{ValidatingSink}}. Somewhere in the Task innards it will be
> suppressed/swallowed and the test will succeed.
