Bug #18614
closedError (busy loop) in TestGemCommandsSetupCommand#test_destdir_flag_does_not_try_to_write_to_the_default_gem_home
Description
When running make check
, I get a busy loop in
TestGemCommandsSetupCommand#test_destdir_flag_does_not_try_to_write_to_the_default_gem_home
every time I try. When excluding this test
(by changing the method name to _test_destdir_flag_does_not_try_to_write_to_the_default_gem_home
),
things work as usual (17 errors related to TestNetHTTPS
/TestNetHTTPLocalBind
).
The relevant file is test/rubygems/test_gem_commands_setup_command.rb
. When running only that file,
I get two failures and two errors. One of the errors says
TestGemCommandsSetupCommand#test_destdir_flag_does_not_try_to_write_to_th
1) Error:
TestGemCommandsSetupCommand#test_destdir_flag_does_not_try_to_write_to_the_default_gem_home:
Gem::FilePermissionError: You don't have write permissions for the /home/duerst/14ruby/tmp/test_rubygems_20220308-18434-8gq4j4/gemhome/plugins directory.
This is on Windows 10/WSL/Ubuntu 20.04.

Some additional information: The permissions in the related directories are as follows (from a different test run):
duerst@Kloentalersee:~/14ruby/tmp/test_rubygems_20220308-13015-dxrmg4/gemhome$ ls -la
total 36
drwxrwxr-x 9 duerst duerst 4096 Mar 8 16:24 .
drwx------ 9 duerst duerst 4096 Mar 8 16:24 ..

drwxrwxr-x 3 duerst duerst 4096 Mar 8 16:24 specifications
There's definitely a 'w' missing on the plugins directory, but it's unclear why just this one directory should have lower permissions than the rest.

I will investigate this test on WSL2 environment.

@hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA): Many thanks for your help. This error appeared several times, but today, I have not been able to reproduce it anymore. It is indeed possible that this was a transient problem, as we discussed on March 14. For whatever reason, it seems that it took longer on my system to get back to normal than on other systems. I will check some more, and close if I can't reproduce the error anymore.

I have now confirmed that this error does not resurface on two different checkouts. I'm therefore closing this issue. However, issue #18623, which I reported at about the same time, is still present.

@hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA): I'm very sorry, but this error has resurfaced. Yesterday afternoon, it appeared in about half of the tries of make check
. This morning, it appeared 5 times in 5 attempts.
When I run only the tests in the file, with make test-all TESTOPTS="-- test/rubygems/test_gem_commands_setup_command.rb"
, the error always appears. There is always a busy loop, taking up a full core. I have to kill the process with ctrl-C, and don't get an error message. I don't remember how I got the Gem::FilePermissionError
in the initial description.
Please tell me anything else I should try. The problem seems to be intermittent and may be local to my setup.

@duerst (Martin Dürst) I closed this because this failure may cause environmental issue. If you still have this issue, please re-open this. Thanks.
