This is a plugin which will terminate tests after a certain timeout. When doing
|
||
|
|
so it will show a stack dump of all threads running at the time. This is useful
|
||
|
|
when running tests under a continuous integration server or simply if you don't
|
||
|
|
know why the test suite hangs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that while by default on POSIX systems py.test will continue to execute
|
||
|
|
the tests after a test has timed, out this is not always possible. Often the
|
||
|
|
only sure way to interrupt a hanging test is by terminating the entire process.
|
||
|
|
As this is a hard termination (os._exit()) it will result in no teardown, JUnit
|
||
|
|
XML output etc. But the plugin will ensure you will have the debugging output
|
||
|
|
on stderr nevertheless, which is the most important part at this stage.
