False alarm. The Travis logs includes (but hides) the install output, and test_mlab was running for me, but I was looking at the wrong line numbers. Still though, I would be curious as to any differences, but I can't seem to download the log file. Ben On Thu, Jun 26, 2014 at 6:57 PM, Benjamin

Just noticed an oddity with the tests on Travis versus the tests on my machine. The test log on Travis for a single run has over 10,000 lines. But, for me, it is over ~4800 lines. At a glance, I can see that test_mlab is not executed for me, but they are for Travis. I am very suspicious of the test

So, I just tried comparing memory usage for a plot displayed via show() versus savefig() as a PNG. It would seem that saving to pngs uses more memory. Not sure why, though. Ben On Jun 4, 2014 12:57 PM, "Eric Firing" wrote: > On 2014/06/04 6:26 AM, Benjamin Root wrote: > >> A theory... >> >> If I

A theory... If I remember correctly, the nosttests was set up to execute in parallel using the default Multiprocessing settings, which is to have a process worker for each available CPU core. Perhaps this might be the crux of the issue with so many simultaneous tests running that the amount of mem

Our standard test has gotten out of control. The most serious problem is that running a full test suite now fails on a linux VM with 4 GB--it's out of memory. Half-way through the set, it is already using more than 2 GB. That's ridiculous. Running nosetests separately on each test module keep
