I'm definitely no expert in server admin. I guess I'm lucky in the sense that the platform admins are willing to support whatever package I may require. Re Gentoo portage breakage, I've heard from the admins, IRC seems to be the channel for most if not all Gentoo news :) LOL And I think the t

As an aside, I consistently found Gentoo's portage tree far too unstable even for development use (2006-09)... unfortunately the maintainers of portage were more than happy to break your system; without even using the news feature of portage to warn of impending doom. I switched to Arch in 2009 fo

That you can run it individually and it passes suggests that there is a test interdependency. Any before(:all) calls in your tests? Any tests that write to disk? Can you run the entire suite manually in whatever manner you ran the single test manually? It would help confirm that theory. If it can b

Hey Jim, in my experience there's always a logic behind seemingly 'random' failures (a test fails but... changing the order of tests causes it to pass, adding debugging causes it to pass, works locally but fails on CI, works on CI but fails locally, only works in isolation, fails in isolation b

Hi guys, I have a problem with one of my capybara-webkit based integration tests. It's passing on my local machine (TM) ... but it fails when the CI does the build. What's even more interesting is if I run the single failing spec on the CI server manually, it passes. I fluked and fixed it ...
