Observation¶

openQA test in scenario openqa-Tumbleweed-dev-x86_64-openqa_install+publish@64bit-2G fails in
test_running
on command

retry -s 10 -r 6 -e -- sh -c 'test -f /var/lib/openqa/share/tests/*/.git/config

probably due to transient network errors. Same in https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/4333739#step/test_running/8 but investigation jobs are all green so after a short time the error could not be reproduced anymore. The actual error is visible in https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/4333739#step/test_running/6 in the middle of the JSON output: "Error detecting remote default branch name […]" which comes from https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/blob/master/OpenQA/Isotovideo/Utils.pm#L84 https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/blob/master/lib/OpenQA/Task/Git/Clone.pm#L60.

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: tests consistently pass even during intermittent outages during remote git command calls

Further details¶

Always latest result in this scenario: latest

Suggestions¶

* The $handle_output does already die if the git command fails, so apparently the git command was succesful but the output didn't match the expected one. Add the actual output in that error message. The handle_output error message should output the actual returned output from the git command
* In my test I changed the git url to github.comm, so the git clone should already fail, but still I got the same error message Error detecting remote default branch in the test. Something to investigate

• Investigate why we didn't see this in unit tests and fix or add an according test case
• #163787 might help with investigation
