Re: [Check-devel] check_check_export and check_check fails when make check command

[Branden A. <b.m...@gm...>]

For Ubuntu you should be able to install libcheck using the following
instructions:

https://libcheck.github.io/check/web/install.html#aptitude

That way you will not need to rebuild Check, unless you want a newer
version than Ubuntu provides.

Looking at the logs I see failures around timeout tests. For example, this
test

https://github.com/libcheck/check/blob/c94962c5ed3120291557e978fa523780a802ac93/tests/check_check_sub.c#L2650

should take longer than 9 seconds to run, and is configured to fail if it
runs longer than 6 seconds:

https://github.com/libcheck/check/blob/c94962c5ed3120291557e978fa523780a802ac93/tests/check_check_sub.c#L3242

This test confirms that Check is able to detect when tests take too long to
run and properly time them out. The provided test logs show that instead of
timing the test out it said the test passed:

check_check_master.c:683:F:Core Tests:test_check_all_msgs:226: For test
226:Timeout Integer Scaling Tests:test_sleep9_fail expected 'Test timeout
expired', got 'Passed'

I'm not sure why that would be. I've seen behavior like this on some
systems that are very CPU constrained, such as when many VMs are running
when the tests are also running.

These tests are not as deterministic as the others, as they assume some
behaviors of the OSs CPU scheduler. If you would like to skip them and see
if the rest of the tests pass, try this
<https://github.com/libcheck/check/blob/master/configure.ac#L66>:

./configure --disable-timeout-tests
make
make check
