Fix sporadic buildbot failures for test_mailbox #61266
Comments
Attached is an attempt at fixing the sporadic failures of test_mailbox on the AMD64 Windows buildbot. It fails due to access errors on some directories which leads me to believe the helper functions in test.support should fix the problem. |
I think the support functions just ignore errors. Isn't this going to continue to leave garbage on the buildbot filesystem without fixing the underlying problem? I wonder if this is a variation on the usual Windows access errors, in which case perhaps that is the best we can do... |
Actually, the support functions (as of 3.3) attempt to work around the access errors. They attempt to wait (to a point) for a successful operation before returning to the caller. See bpo-15496 for details. It is usually the case that the previous operation has not yet finished as to the cause of the access error. |
Ah, excellent. I had missed that change. This looks good then. Hopefully it will work :) |

Thanks, Jeremy. |
