msg365513 - (view) Author: STINNER Victor (vstinner) * (Python committer) Date: 2020-04-01 21:48
I modified recently the test:

(1) commit 278c1e159c970da6cd6683d18c6211f5118674cc

-        os.waitpid(pid, 0)
+        support.wait_process(pid, exitcode=0)

(2) commit 16d75675d2ad2454f6dfbf333c94e6237df36018

Close the fd *after* calling support.wait_process() to prevent sending SIGHUP to the child process, which made support.wait_process(pid, exitcode=0) to fail since exitcode=-1 (-SIGHUP) != 0.

test_builtin.test_input_no_stdout_fileno() also hangs on AIX:

Exit code -1 looks like a process killed by SIGHUP. Which commit did you try?

What is the signal 1 on Solaris? On Linux, it's SIGHUP, not SIGSEGV:

$ python3
Python 3.7.6 (default, Jan 30 2020, 09:44:41) 
>>> import signal
>>> signal.SIGSEGV

Which test is causing the issue? Does it still crash if you comment test_input_no_stdout_fileno()? Try to rename it "Xtest_input_no_stdout_fileno" to skip it.

What if you only run this test?

./python -m test test_builtin -m test_input_no_stdout_fileno -F -j10 -v

Maybe this test should register a signal handler for SIGHUP?

This bug looks like bpo-38547 which affected test_pty. I fixed it by registering a SIGHUP signal handler:

commit a1838ec2592e5082c75c77888f2a7a3eb21133e5
Author: Victor Stinner <vstinner@python.org>

    bpo-38547: Fix test_pty if the process is the session leader (GH-17519)
    
    Fix test_pty: if the process is the session leader, closing the
    master file descriptor raises a SIGHUP signal: simply ignore SIGHUP
    when running the tests.

Thanks for testing Batuhan ;-)

By the way, Solaris is no longer officially supported by Python:
https://pythondev.readthedocs.io/platforms.html#best-effort-and-unofficial-platforms

There is no more Solaris buildbot. Solaris 11.4 will be likely the last release: Oracle no longer supports Solaris.

We may accept minor changes, but no invasive changes.

I dislike the idea of making Python codes to support Solaris, since Solaris vendor doesn't support it anymore... Moreover, it's closed source, and most core devs don't have access to Solaris (ex: me).
