Root Cause

A test blocked on network I/O, an unclosed socket, a deadlock, or an infinite loop; pytest-timeout killed it after the configured threshold.

generic

中文

测试阻塞在网络 I/O、未关闭的套接字、死锁或无限循环上；pytest-timeout 在配置的阈值后终止了它。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success 
    pytest --timeout=60 --timeout-method=thread -o faulthandler_timeout=55 tests/test_net.py
  2. 95% success 
    from unittest import mock

@mock.patch('app.client.requests.get')
def test_fetch(mock_get):
    mock_get.return_value.json.return_value = {"ok": True}
    ...
  3. 88% success 
    @pytest.mark.timeout(5)

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 85% fail

    Extends CI time without fixing the underlying hang.

  2. 95% fail

    CI hangs indefinitely; hides the bug.

  3. 90% fail

    A hang is not flakiness.
