From the job history I can see that the test module failure is sporadic, i.e. we need better statistics than just single jobs -> https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/openqatests/wiki/Wiki#Statistical-investigation

I see. Thanks for the observation. I guess we need to handle the longish shutdown better -> https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/5314 from @oorlov

Seeing latest example https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/714457#step/reboot_plasma5/3 this clearly looks again like we just do not wait long enough.

PR merged.

Latest job has been running only before the PR was merged so I guess we need to collect better statistics … by waiting

Finally the PR with the ability to gather more logs on shutdown is merged.

So, I've added DEBUG_SHUTDOWN=1 property to 'kde' scenarios.

Let's see after several executions if it will give us some meaningful logs.

Please closely monitor the scenario then to make sure this does not introduce even more failures.

I recommend to make use of the weekend capacity and trigger some more jobs for statistical investigation on o3 to crosscheck.

Actions #21

Updated by oorlov over 5 years ago

I've increased timeout with TIME_SCALE=3 for the test suite and the test is passed.

https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/724980
https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/724981

The huge time (~90 sec) when the system waits is between that steps:

[ 3159.891194] display-manager[5540]: Shutting down service sddm..done
[ 3248.440114] systemd[1807]: dbus.service: State 'stop-final-sigterm' timed out. Killing.

okurz, why is this ticket in feedback, I cannot see any open PR nor waiting for any verification run. Can I change the status to "in progress"?

I am not sure if we actually need any change in os-autoinst although your PR there looks fine.

For issues like the one above I recommend to debug further what is the big waiting time in between and report a bug.

Can you take a look into https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/blob/master/tests/console/force_scheduled_tasks.pm#L29 and apply the same method here? It should be ok to just call assert_shutdown with a huge timeout and record a soft failure depending on the actual elapsed time

After updating shutdown module and scaling timeout with with TIME_SCALE=3, the modules never failed on reboot_plasma5 or shutdown module (in the last more than 20 builds).

I've checked the job in the last 6 builds, shutdown never took more than 15 seconds to be finished.

I'm closing the ticket as 'Resolved', as the issue is not reproduced anymore.

good observation. Do we actually set TIMEOUT_SCALE anywhere or was this just just used for investigation?

As I realized myself I can answer my question in #3700#note-28 : We do set "TIMEOUT_SCALE=3" in tests, e.g. as visible in https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/1171538# which also the test suite description reflects. TIMEOUT_SCALE is meant as a temporary measure or for really slow workers which we should not have at all in production. Where necessary we should bump internal timeouts, then remove TIMEOUT_SCALE and also adjust the testsuite settings please. I recorded this in #63388 rather than reopening this ticket which is already a bit old.
