Root Cause

A test is stuck in an infinite loop, waiting on a resource, or performing a very slow operation that exceeds the timeout limit.

generic

中文

测试陷入无限循环、等待资源或执行非常慢的操作，超过了超时限制。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success 
    Add debug prints in the test to identify where it hangs, then fix the infinite loop or blocking call.
  2. 85% success 
    Use a shorter timeout and mock external dependencies to avoid real network calls: `@pytest.mark.timeout(5)`

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 85% fail

    This only masks the problem; the test may eventually fail or consume excessive resources.

  2. 90% fail

    Without a timeout, the test suite can hang indefinitely, blocking CI pipelines.
