Puppet / PUP-11173 Fix Windows GitHub Actions transient failures

Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Attachments: logs_3063.zip Created: 2021/07/21 6:39 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Luchian Nemes We've been experiencing lately some transient failures with rspec tests on Windows GitHub Actions. It takes about 16 minutes to fail, whereas successful runs happen in about 18 minutes, so this happens very late and can easily become annoying. Over 900 tests (958 seen so far) across multiple files fail when this happen (from a total of 26109 examples). Most of them are due to objects being nil and methods cannot be called (around 940).

Change By: Luchian Nemes We've been experiencing lately some transient failures with [rspec tests|https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/actions/workflows/rspec_tests.yaml] on Windows GitHub Actions. It takes about 16 minutes to fail, whereas successful runs happen in about 18 minutes, so this happens very late and can easily become annoying. Over 900 tests (958 seen so far) across multiple files fail when this happen (from a total of 26109 examples). Most of them are due to objects being *nil* and methods cannot be called (around 940). Attached logs are from are from such failed run (see *windows-2016(ruby 2.6)* files).

Re: Fix Windows GitHub Actions transient failures I think this is a dup of a ticket I filed?

Re: Fix Windows GitHub Actions transient failures

Ah yeah, the first failure is: 2021-07-21T07:26:16.7344142Z 1) Puppet::Util::Windows::Process when reading environment variables will ignore only keys or values with corrupt byte sequences 2021-07-21T07:26:16.7345252Z Failure/Error: get_uint32(i * 2) == 0 2021-07-21T07:26:16.7345887Z IndexError: 2021-07-21T07:26:16.7346563Z Memory access offset=32 size=4 is out of bounds which occurs in an after each block. That leaves puppet's context in a bad state causing the rest of the failures. I'm going to close this as a dup of PUP-11122
