Issue #19872 has been updated by vo.x (Vit Ondruch). Maybe predefining some well know namespaces could help? Or is is issue of the respective libraries, which does not support proper loading of nested files, without loading their dependencies first? ---------------------------------------- Bug #19872: TestRequireLib#test_thread_size test case is unstable https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19872#change-104507 * Author: vo.x (Vit Ondruch) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.3.0dev (2023-09-05 master 7c8932365f) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Just exploring the difference in skipped test cases, it seems to be due to `TestRequireLib#test_thread_size`. One test run might look like: ~~~ 84) Skipped: TestRequireLib#test_thread_size:/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/lib/reline/history.rb [/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/test/ruby/test_require_lib.rb:21]: uninitialized constant Reline 85) Skipped: TestRequireLib#test_thread_size:/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/lib/reline/line_editor.rb [/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/test/ruby/test_require_lib.rb:21]: uninitialized constant Reline 86) Skipped: TestRequireLib#test_thread_size:/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/lib/net/http/generic_request.rb [/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/test/ruby/test_require_lib.rb:21]: uninitialized constant Net 87) Skipped: TestRequireLib#test_thread_size:/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/lib/rdoc/markup/formatter.rb [/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/test/ruby/test_require_lib.rb:21]: uninitialized constant RDoc 88) Skipped: TestRequireLib#test_thread_size:/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/lib/rdoc/generator/pot/message_extractor.rb [/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/test/ruby/test_require_lib.rb:21]: uninitialized constant RDoc 89) Skipped: TestRequireLib#test_thread_size:/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/lib/rdoc/markup/block_quote.rb [/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/test/ruby/test_require_lib.rb:21]: uninitialized constant RDoc 90) Skipped: TestRequireLib#test_thread_size:/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/lib/irb/context.rb [/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/test/ruby/test_require_lib.rb:21]: uninitialized constant IRB 91) Skipped: TestRequireLib#test_thread_size:/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/lib/rdoc/markup/indented_paragraph.rb [/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/test/ruby/test_require_lib.rb:21]: uninitialized constant RDoc 92) Skipped: TestRequireLib#test_thread_size:/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/lib/rdoc/parser/text.rb [/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/test/ruby/test_require_lib.rb:21]: uninitialized constant RDoc 93) Skipped: TestRequireLib#test_thread_size:/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/lib/rdoc/markup/to_label.rb [/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/test/ruby/test_require_lib.rb:21]: uninitialized constant RDoc ~~~ While in the other run, there is e.g. just one test skipped: ~~~ 40) Skipped: TestRequireLib#test_thread_size:/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/lib/rdoc/markdown/entities.rb [/builddir/build/BUILD/ruby-3.3.0-7c8932365f/test/ruby/test_require_lib.rb:21]: uninitialized constant RDoc ~~~ I can't help myself, but this test case contains too much randomness to my taste. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
