Description

observation

https://openqa.suse.de/tests/396323/modules/bootloader_s390/steps/4
output is there but wait_serial fails to find the output in time

steps to reproduce

TBC

problem

H1. sporadic everywhere but not everytime
H2. something worker specific
H3. multiple s390 zVM instances at the same time influence each other

suggestion

DONE: at least improve the code, what we did with https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/1389 even if this issue never reappears.
As this is a timeout issue I suggest to record a soft failure in case of timeout with reference to this issue and then retry.

PR merged, let's see if the issue reappears although mgriessmeier and me could not really reproduce the issue before trying to improve the source code.

I triggered 20 runs on my testing machine (lord.arch -> LINUX157):

for i in {1..20}; do sudo -u _openqa-worker /usr/share/openqa/script/clone_job.pl --from http://… … ; done

and all succeeded so regard this as resolved for now.

not fixed, still appearing often enough to be regarded as "high": https://openqa.suse.de/tests/404250/modules/bootloader_s390/steps/4
H1 REJECTED as I could not reproduce it calling the same test often enough locally so H2-4 added

now I can also reproduce it locally, e.g. see http://lord.arch/tests/311?limit_previous=30#previous
All three failures in bootloader_s390 are at the same step, the wait_serial after lsdasd. I am wondering why the serial output of the command is missing here.
Anyway, slightly changing the code and retrying multiple times. Let's see if this makes a difference.

considered done, e.g. see https://openqa.suse.de/tests/436688 . Did not see a related issue in recent builds.
