Hi all,
today I got a few of errors like these (this one is from last week, though):
Status Line: 493 snapshot too old: Wed May 7 04:36:57 2014 GMT Content: snapshot to old: Wed May 7 04:36:57 2014
GMT
on the new buildfarm animals. I believe it was my mistake (incorrectly
configured local git mirror), but it got me thinking about how this will
behave with the animals running CLOBBER_CACHE_RECURSIVELY.
If I understand the Perl code correctly, it does this:
(1) update the repository
(2) run the tests
(3) check that the snapshot is not older than 24 hours (pgstatus.pl:188)
(4) fail if older
Now, imagine that the test runs for days/weeks. This pretty much means
it's wasted, because the results will be thrown away anyway, no?
regards
Tomas
