So from what I can tell, *all* the windmill failures have been one of: - incorrect tests - failed landings - landed without ec2land and that then *never worked*
I'm not aware of /any/ intermittent /correct/ tests. We could easily have the same issues with intermitted results were we to use threaded helpers and not synchronise in our code. When a test fails in trunk we need to - and I believe this is policy already: - file a bug - diagnose the cause - take remedial action - in order of preference: - fix the test - revert the landing that broke it/added the broken test - disable the test This is obviously related to the discussion about how much value we get from the tests, but I've not seen any data saying that *windmill* is our problem. It seems to be hard to use correctly, and we seem to be failing to use it correctly in at least some places. Which sucks :(. -Rob _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
