Strace

[Simon Peyton Jones]

OK – so maybe the root cause is a framework failure – and indeed for the last few weeks I’ve seen

Framework failures:

   plugins/plugins07.run  plugins07 [normal] (pre_cmd failed: 2)

   plugins/T10420.run     T10420 [normal] (pre_cmd failed: 2)

   plugins/T11244.run     T11244 [normal] (pre_cmd failed: 2)

I have just learned to live with these failures, because I knew you were working on making things better.  But it sounds as if they are still taking place.

So:

  *   Yes, please make it not happen by default
  *   If you don’t get these framework failures, can we work together to resolve them?

Thanks

Simon

Hi Simon,

The strace is only supposed to run when the normal test pre_cmd fails.
If it's running that often it means your tests are all failing during pre_cmd with a framework failure
https://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/blobdiff/4778cba1dbb6adf495930322d7f9e9db0af60d8f..60fb2b2160aa16194b74262f4df8fad5af171b0f:/testsuite/driver/testlib.py

But maybe I shouldn't turn this on my default. I'll pramaterize it when I get home.

Tamar.

I’m getting megabytes of output from ‘sh validate’ on windows.  It looks like this

  291  152036 [main] sh 2880 faccessat: returning 0

4693  164724 [main] sh 2880 set_signal_mask: setmask 0, newmask 80000, mask_bits 0
but with hundreds of thousands of lines.  (I have not counted)
I believe that it may be the result of this line, earlier in the log

cd "/c/Users/simonpj/AppData/Local/Temp/ghctest-8fa9s6rk/test   spaces/./plugins/plugins07.run" && strace $MAKE -s --no-print-directory -C rule-defining-plugin package.plugins07 TOP=/c/code/HEAD/testsuite#
Note the strace.
That in turn was added in your commit

    Clean up Windows testsuite failures



    Summary:

    Another round and attempt at getting these down to 0.
Could you perhaps have made a mistake here?  Currently validate is unusable.
Thanks!
Simon
