Root Cause

A test exceeded the configured timeout (global or per-test). Often caused by a blocking network call, an unclosed DB transaction waiting on a lock, or a subprocess that never terminates.

generic

中文

测试超过了配置的超时时间（全局或单测试）。通常由阻塞的网络调用、等待锁的未关闭数据库事务，或永不终止的子进程引起。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success 
    # pyproject.toml
[tool.pytest.ini_options]
addopts = "--timeout=60 --timeout-method=signal"

# per-test
@pytest.mark.timeout(10)
def test_api():
    ...
  2. 85% success 
    pytest -o faulthandler_timeout=30 tests/test_heavy_import.py -s
# or run with py-spy
py-spy dump --pid <pid>

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 70% fail

    Hides the real hang; CI now waits an hour per stuck test, and the underlying deadlock persists.

  2. 80% fail

    CI will hang indefinitely on the same test, blocking the whole pipeline.
