[GstSystemClock] test_periodic_shot:0: Waiting did not return OK
Last modified: 2009-02-03 13:31:10 UTC
Hi, since 0.10.15.2/.3 the test_periodic_shot test sometimes fails, at least on amd64 and arm with "Waiting did not return OK". This happened at least on the Debian build bots and Stefan had this too. We both suspect that the monotonic clocks patch is causing this, as nobody saw this before.
I've seen this before, and I believe it was simply due to the machine being under heavy load. See bug #440682.
That seems like the most likely cause given that it's intermittent. I can't reproduce it here, but it might be easier to trigger on a machine with a slower CPU, or a kernel with a lower HZ setting. I don't think it's a blocker unless we can demonstrate conclusively that it's not just a race in the test.
In the absence of reproduceability, removing the blocker flag :)
Hey folks. Any news on this one? It's set to NEEDINFO for quite some time now.
Can't reproduce this any longer no matter how hard I try. Closing for now, please re-open if it's still an issue.
