Description

Motivation

We don't know what is going on with #113141

Suggestions

  • Check the "--help" route of isotovideo how that could return something else than 0, maybe some background processes? Check process tree?
  • Fix the issue or update #113141 with more specific insights what needs to be done

The exit code is 124, and since the command is called with timeout 3, it's likely, that it just runs into the timeout.
Given that we often see non-os-autoinst related issues in the aarch64 builds, not sure if we can do much about it except increasing the timeout on this platform.

I ran isotovideo in a loop on OBS aarch64, and it's not uncommon that the runtime goes up to 1.6s.
So I can easily imagine that on an especially slow build it goes beyond the 3 seconds.

I would say we increase the timeout per script to, say, 8s.

It would also be possible to do this only for aarch64, e.g. if $Config{archname} =~ m/aarch64/ but maybe that is overkill.
We have the overall OpenQA::Test::TimeLimit as a fallback anyway.
