[Bug 1259721] Re: Executing autopilot test suite fails to close when piped to tee

[Martin Pitt]

I'm afraid I can't reproduce the original problem here. If I run this
test, I see a few windows (Mahjong, terminal, etc.) flying by, and after
a few seconds it crashes with

$ autopilot run autopilot.tests.functional.test_open_window.OpenWindowTests.test_open_window 
Loading tests from: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

Tests running...

Ran 7 tests in 8.227s
FAILED (failures=1)

and it behaves exactly the same way with "... | tee /tmp/foo". Trunk
shows the exact same behaviour with

  python -m autopilot.run run
autopilot.tests.functional.test_open_window.OpenWindowTests.test_open_window
| tee /tmp/foo

I understand this would only hang if there is an application which does
not close automatically again. Does that happen in your case?

Title:
  Executing autopilot test suite fails to close when piped to tee

Status in Autopilot:
  Confirmed
Status in The "G" Library - GLib:
  In Progress
Status in “gobject-introspection” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Executing "autopilot run autopilot | tee /tmp/autopilot.log" never
  closes on my trusty box. The autopilot process closes (according to
  "ps -ef") but the tee process stays open. It appears that tee is
  missing the EOF.

  I originally saw this on the CI autopilot runner:
  http://s-jenkins.ubuntu-ci:8080/job/autopilot-testrunner-otto-trusty/1390/console

  
  It appears I'm running an unreleased version:
  python-autopilot:
    Installed: 1.4+14.04.20131205.1-0ubuntu1

  python-autopilot-tests:
    Installed: 1.4+14.04.20131206.1-0ubuntu1

  Will try again with the archive version and update the report.
