<div id="inbdy"><a name="msg_c7dcfb46e4ddd581"></a>Hi, Here is a sample code that reproduces the issue : [code] import logging import unittest import signal import gobject import dbus from functools import wraps from dbus.mainloop.glib import DBusGMainLoop class TimeoutException(Exception): pass def timeout(timeout_time=1800): """ decorator function catching the argument """ def timeout_function(func): """ decorator function """ @wraps(func) def _timeout_function(self): """ create a signal handler set the timeout with the argument given while calling the decorator @timeout call the function catch a timeout exception if necessary """ def timeout_handler(signum, frame): print 'Timeout (%s sec) reached' % str(timeout_time) raise TimeoutException() old_handler = signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, timeout_handler) signal.alarm(timeout_time) # triger alarm in timeout_time seconds try: retval = func(self) finally: signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, old_handler) signal.alarm(0) return retval return _timeout_function return timeout_function class Test_loopRun_And_Timeout(unittest.TestCase): def __init__(self,*args,**kwargs): super(Test_loopRun_And_Timeout, self).__init__(*args,**kwargs) dbus_loop = DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True) self.bus = dbus.SessionBus(private=True,mainloop=dbus_loop) self.loop = gobject.MainLoop() logging.basicConfig() self.__logger = logging.getLogger("Tests.%s" % self.__class__.__name__) self.__logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) def setUp(self): ''' in this part, mediarouter can not be created Setup are all launch in // So if 50 tests are run in this class, 50 mediarouters are created ''' pass def tearDown(self): ''' ''' @timeout(5) def test_001(self): ''' ''' self.__<a href="http://logger.info">logger.info</a>('[CHECKPOINT] test_001') try: self.__<a href="http://logger.info">logger.info</a>('entering a waiting loop') self.loop.run() self.__<a href="http://logger.info">logger.info</a>('dummy log, should not appear') self.fail() except KeyboardInterrupt: self.__logger.exception('Catching a Ctrl+c event (user or timeout)') except : self.__logger.exception('Unexpected error') self.fail() @timeout(5) def test_002(self): ''' ''' def loop_quit(loop): loop.quit() return False self.__<a href="http://logger.info">logger.info</a>('[CHECKPOINT] test_002') try: self.__<a href="http://logger.info">logger.info</a>('entering a waiting loop') gobject.timeout_add(1000, loop_quit, self.loop) self.loop.run() self.__<a href="http://logger.info">logger.info</a>('exiting the loop') except KeyboardInterrupt: self.__logger.exception('Catching a Ctrl+c event (user or timeout)') self.fail() except : self.__logger.exception('Unexpected error') self.fail() [/code] If I start a unittest campaign like this : [code] if __name__ == "__main__": #Add the test you want to run suite = unittest.TestSuite() #To choose a list of tests, comment those you don't want to run suite.addTest(Test_loopRun_And_Timeout('test_002')) suite.addTest(Test_loopRun_And_Timeout('test_001')) unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=0).run(suite) print 'done' [/code] the result give me 2 tests OK Now If I launch this [code] if __name__ == "__main__": #Add the test you want to run suite = unittest.TestSuite() #To choose a list of tests, comment those you don't want to run suite.addTest(Test_loopRun_And_Timeout('test_001')) suite.addTest(Test_loopRun_And_Timeout('test_002')) unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=0).run(suite) print 'done' [/code] 1 OK (test_001) 1 Fail (test_002 goes on timeout) And if I am using more than 3 Testcases, the code is going to run in infinite loop (Ctrl+C or timeout decorator does not work, only a kill works) Is there an issue using the 'timeout' decorator with the loop.run() ? Maybe (and certainly) I badly handle the gobject.Mainloop ? Eudes </div>
