Bug Description

See https://lists.launchpad.net/launchpad-dev/msg04546.html for details and a full test log:

"I am unable to do a full test suite run locally. I tried twice.

I am testing lp:~abentley/launchpad/permit-commands and I'll test
another branch to be sure, but it doesn't look like something I changed
caused this.
"

It turns out that 'make check' is a target intended for automated test runs. Developers likely want to run the much less troublesome 'bin/test' command. I am marking this as Won't Fix for now.

The one think bin/test does not do is start xvfb-run to hide the windmill test suite browser windows, but that is easy for developers to do on the command-line.

Changed in launchpad-foundations:
status: Triaged → Won't Fix

I just hit this too:

 lp.archiveuploader.tests.test_ppauploadprocessor.TestPPAUploadProcessor.testPPAUploadResultingInNoBuilds

WARNING: A test appears to be hung. There has been no output for 600 seconds.
Forcibly shutting down the test suite

I think this is a bit bogus to say "won't fix." make check is a very well established convention for something people ought to be able to run to check their work.

Is there something that makes 'make check' reliable when run by automated test runs but not for interactive use?

There is a separate bug about that test hanging, I believe.
