Description

Observation

openQA test in scenario openqa-Tumbleweed-dev-x86_64-openqa_install_multimachine@64bit-4G fails in
start_test

Test died: command 'resp=$(OPENQA_CLI_RETRIES=5 openqa-cli api --host http://openqa.opensuse.org jobs version=Tumbleweed scope=relevant arch='x86_64' flavor=DVD test='ping_client' groupid=1 latest=1)' timed out at /usr/lib/os-autoinst/autotest.pm line 415.

Acceptance Criteria

Expected result

Last good: :TW.27071 (or more recent)

Further details

Always latest result in this scenario: latest

Suggestions

  • Requests time out after 3s which is probably too short
  • Implement exponential back-off in openqa-cli

or https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/5506 for incremental timeout

Discussed the fix on workadventu.re and decided to drop the unit test due to issues with mocking. That can be improved later without blocking the fix.
