gh-113205: test_multiprocessing.test_terminate: Test the API on threadpools#114186
Merged
Conversation
…rks on threadpools Threads can't be forced to terminate (without potentially corrupting too much state), so the expected behaviour of `ThreadPool.terminate` is to wait for the currently executing tasks to finish. The entire test was skipped in pythonGH-110848 (0e9c364). Instead of skipping it entirely, we should ensure the API eventually succeeds: use a shorter timeout. For the record: on my machine, when the test is un-skipped, the task manages to start in about 1.5% cases.

…for threadpools (GH-114186) (GH-114222) Threads can't be forced to terminate (without potentially corrupting too much state), so the expected behaviour of `ThreadPool.terminate` is to wait for the currently executing tasks to finish. Use shorter sleep time for threadpools, so if a task manages to start, the test doesn't block for long. (cherry picked from commit c1db960) Co-authored-by: Petr Viktorin <encukou@gmail.com>

ThreadPool.terminateis to wait for the currently executing tasks to finish.The entire terminate test was skipped in GH-110848 (0e9c364). Instead of skipping it entirely, we should ensure the API eventually succeeds.
For the record: on my machine, when the test is un-skipped on 3.12, the task manages to start in about 1.5% cases.
On older branches, the test is not skipped, so it occasionally takes 5 minutes. The backports will fix issue #113205.
multiprocessing.test.*.test_threadscan take 10 minutes #113205
