Why is a "Missing asset" causing a timeout after 90 seconds,
rather than being accounted as a "SKIP" ("missing requirements
in the test environment" sounds like what we have here) ?

Maybe something to report to upstream Avocado.


That said, we want CI to be reproducible. If we fetch assets from
unreliable sources, we can't be reproducible. If we are unable to
provide a assets cache, we'll keep hitting this problem. If we can
not find a way to have assets stored (requiring sysadmin time setting
up some infra, possibly only for GitLab), then I'd consider stopping
running tests depending on external assets on CI; otherwise at some
point we'll get tired to waste time figuring out the same problem.

As a maintainer I'm happy to run the avocado tests using my local
assets cache, and I would rather keep using the framework. But then
my cache is likely different from others (users, maintainers, CI).
Similarly few users/maintainers end up having the same cache and
running the same set of tests.

$ du -chs ~/avocado/data/cache/
5.7G    /Users/philmd/avocado/data/cache/

Some files are older than 3 years, and I'm happy to still run the
tests depending on them (although they disappeared from their
original http server).

I don't understand the debug.log, because it says all of
  * that it retrieved the URL
  * that it wanted to cancel the test
  * that the test timed out

Here it is:
