Bug ID: 55786 Summary: user32:msg - test_timers() sometimes gets a shorter timeout than expected in Wine Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: user32 Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: fgouget@codeweavers.com Distribution: ---
user32:msg - test_timers() sometimes gets a shorter timeout than expected in Wine:
11622: Test failed: did not get expected count for minimum timeout (90 != ~100).
See https://test.winehq.org/data/patterns.html#user32:msg
This first happened on 2023-07-14 (no instance in the previous 5 months) and has happened about 8 times per month since. It does not happen on any of the TestBot VMs however. So far it only happened on the GitLab CI (impacting 12 MRs), on Remi's macOS machines and once on my fg-deb64 desktop.
Here are the October instance: * 2023-10-04 linux_gitlab-debian-64 * 2023-10-06 mac_rbernon-macos-opengl-win64_1 * 2023-10-10 mac_rbernon-macos-opengl-wow64 * 2023-10-10 MR!4024, MR!4042 * 2023-10-11 MR!4064, MR!4075 * 2023-10-12 MR!4071
The lowest value in the failure messages (including the MRs) is 86 (2023-07-14 mac_rbernon-macos-opengl-win64_2). All other values are either 89 or 90. So TIMER_COUNT_TOLERANCE = 10 was not far off, but maybe something around 15.6 would be more accurate.
That said this test is old (2013-2019) so it is strange that it only started failing last July.
