From 5b95a1507e349da5adae6d2ab57deac3bdd12f15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Price Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2019 20:50:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] bpo-35518: Skip test that relies on a deceased network service. (GH-15349) If this service had thoroughly vanished, we could just ignore the test until someone gets around to either recreating such a service or redesigning the test to somehow work locally. The `support.transient_internet` mechanism catches the failure to resolve the domain name, and skips the test. But in fact the domain snakebite.net does still exist, as do its nameservers -- and they can be quite slow to reply. As a result this test can easily take 20-30s before it gets auto-skipped. So, skip the test explicitly up front. --- Lib/test/test_timeout.py | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/Lib/test/test_timeout.py b/Lib/test/test_timeout.py index b54fc826ae0..b07c07cbfc4 100644 --- a/Lib/test/test_timeout.py +++ b/Lib/test/test_timeout.py @@ -150,6 +150,7 @@ class TCPTimeoutTestCase(TimeoutTestCase): def tearDown(self): self.sock.close() + @unittest.skipIf(True, 'need to replace these hosts; see bpo-35518') def testConnectTimeout(self): # Testing connect timeout is tricky: we need to have IP connectivity # to a host that silently drops our packets.
