goapp test: timeout starting child process

[Fred Janon]

GAE Go SDK 1.9.7 Win7 Pro

I am getting a "timeout starting child process". I launch the same command and it works. the system is quite buy and paging, that's probably why I am getting this timeout.

Is there a way to increase the timeout?

C:\test>goapp test -run TestSearchList

2014/07/24 23:15:54 appengine: not running under devappserver2; using some default configuration

--- FAIL: TestSearchList (15.06 seconds)

        search_test.go:155: timeout starting child process

FAIL

exit status 1

FAIL    _/C_/test 15.626s

Thanks

$ cat app_test.go

package testwithtimeout

import (

"testing"

"time"

"appengine"

"appengine/aetest"

"appengine/memcache"

)

func TestVars(t *testing.T) {

c, err := aetest.NewContext(nil)

if err != nil {

t.Fatal(err)

}

defer c.Close()

nc := appengine.Timeout(c, 90*time.Second)

_, err = memcache.Get(nc, "something")

if err != nil {

t.Error(err)

}

}

Wrong kind of timeout Glenn ;)

It's a hardcoded value in aetest.

Once again Fred, I'm banking on you not closing your contexts (or panicking/exiting before defer).  My system runs out of resources running ~10 dev appservers too.

Whups.  Thanks, Matthew!

Once again, cmd used for 1 test, nothing to do with the test, the luanch stops before the test runs.

C:\test>goapp test -run TestSearchList

Is there another list for support for GAE GO Windows?

Can you show us the full output for
dev_appserver.py --port=0 --api_port=0 --admin_port=0
--skip_sdk_update_check=true --clear_datastore=true <path_to_your_app>
?

Unless your system is incredibly slow, I suspect aetest is not
correctly noticing that the dev_appserver is starting okay, which
might be for all kinds of wacky reasons (localisation of log messages,
for instance).

Today, I got the same error when trying to execute aetests locally: 

"timeout starting child process".

As it turned out the problem was in Google Clodud SDK's "dev_appserver.py" overriding Google AppEngine SDK's "dev_appserver.py".

After setting the value of "APPENGINE_DEV_APPSERVER" environment variable to the path of Google AppEngine SDK's "dev_appserver.py" file, the tests executed fine:

     # export APPENGINE_DEV_APPSERVER="<path to Go AppEngine SDK>/dev_appserver.py"

     # goapp test ...
